Wedding Flowers

I thought I would let you see my first attempt at Handtied Wedding Bouquets. I was trained in the art of wiring everything and moss balls for bridal work and left the industry to have my daughter just as these were become popular. I hope I did a good job.

They are good luck gifts, one of which is a wooden spoon!!

Thanks everyone for your good comments. I was a bit nervous making them but I kept reminding myself of my years of experience of working with flowers, so there waa no reason for me not to be able to make something just a little different!

ah yes i see now its a spoon lol, the bouquets are lovely and you needent have worried, to me a moss ball would be something a little different and if you have the time I would love to see the mechanics of one of them
