He showed all the prep work was already done. It does take a little bit to fine the pretty leaves and flowers, clean and polish and wire them before you begin to assemble.

I watched a bunch of videos, and this was by far the most helpful with the most beautiful result. I used stuff from our yard: white iceberg shrub roses and buds, Emerald Gaiety Euonymus (wintercreeper) instead of ivy, some springs of vinca, fig leaves (from a house plant), and sheer white bows. I swapped the vinca for a sprig of juniper to make a matching boutonniere. They turned out beautifully! Thank you!

Kelli Rustin thanks for the comments - I do use cold glue sometimes but more to add a detail to a base design. Yesterday I did this on a cake top and a shower bouquet to add little dendrobium orchids. It’s lighter, and quicker as you say. Either method is good, it’s which you prefer. I always get covered in glue!

twistedangel 01 hello - thank you for commenting. I know what you mean, what I do with those ribbons is tie them across first as they are threading wrong for the way I think the corsage should sit on the band and wrist. Then when tying on the corsage they don’t just pull through. 🌞

That’s fabulous

Thanks again for the brilliant tutorials. (My family are more from the North East/Aberdeen and there's so many words in Doric that are hilarious and don't quite have English equivalents.

Thanks for the video John. What's the best way to store if it's made couple of days in advance? Can it be sprayed with water before storing and after taking it out of the fridge, if its done that way? Please advise.

@FlowerJoos

6 жыл бұрын

Libra I personally would only make it the day before in the afternoon - that way it is nice and fresh. Or ideally on the day. I don’t think I would make it two days in advance, but the best way to keep it is wrapped in a box, or plastic with space round it, and keep in a cool place. The orchids are best not refrigerated as that might be too cold. You can give it a light mist but don’t have it wet, just in case it marks the petals.

Beutiful! Thank you for sharing. I have a cuestion! What number it's the wire? Thank you

Hello John. I’ve seen demos on wired wrist corsages and using cold glue to make corsages. Does the glued corsages last as long as the wired? In your experience which method do you think is better and long lasting?

@FlowerJoos

6 жыл бұрын

Vicki Vee hello - both methods are equally good. I suppose it’s which you prefer to use. From a flower point of view both will last the same.

Hi John Just for reference, when your making a corsage - when would be best to prepare it? Would the day before an event be alright and leave it in the fridge alongside buttonholes that are in tupperware with airholes and spirtzed with water?

@FlowerJoos

3 жыл бұрын

Hello! Yes, that is fine - essentially it is the same as a buttonhole . Just be wary of some flowers in a fridge - maybe too cold for orchids or lisianthus. If very soft material then best made on the day. 😀🙋🏼‍♂️
