ivy shower bouquet
Hi to all,
Please could any one help with advice or pictures of an ivy shower bouquet just using ivy.

Things like how would you get it to hang without it loosely dropping straight.

Does anyone know of a frame you could use? Any help much appreciated.

Thank You Townhill

Would prbably use many controllable branching units on differing gauges of wire and a whole lot of time, energy and ivy!

Could you not support wire it down the stem, just to help with control? Branching units might make it a little 'stiff' in appearance, don't you think? You could put into one of those nesty sisal bouquet holders if it is to look quite wild, rugged and natural.

If you want to use natural ivy trails perhaps just a bit of support wiring here and there, or branching units using the thinnest possible wire....

I remember reading that Victorias bouquet was made the old fashioned way.. using a ball of moss as the base and wiring each piece into that. Must have weighed a ton!

Yeah sas, if you remember back (its in the books somewhere) it was a golfball sized piece of moss that was tied with string, and then the stems (only had heavy wire then so fewer wired heads but they did use them) were threaded through the ball - actually very light but really didn't last long. Thats why the bouquets were quite small in most cases.
