Our life is full of reasons to give a beautiful flower bouquet in the form of a whole floral arrangement, modest wildflowers or one but beautiful rose. This could be the birthday of a close friend or friend, a celebration, a wedding, a calendar holiday, paying attention to a loved one, or celebrating a date dear to the heart. And even in the absence of a formal occasion, receiving a beautiful bouquet will always be a pleasure. This lifts the mood and creates a festive atmosphere.

The meaning of packaging in a bouquet

Much attention should be paid not only to the bouquet, but also to the packaging. It is very important that it be original, express the status of the occasion and effectively present the bouquet. After all, first of all, the recipient’s gaze is drawn to the packaging of the bouquet, and then to the contents of this packaging. Of course, you can turn to experienced florists for a beautiful wrapper for a bouquet, but be prepared for the fact that the cost of such beauty can be on par with the cost of flowers, or even higher. To ensure that your bouquet is the most original and unique, and your budget is not too affected, you can make your own flower packaging.

Before you make flower packaging with your own hands, you need to think about the character of the person for whom the bouquet is intended, his preferences and tastes. Such an individual approach will emphasize the efforts and will bring considerable joy to the person to whom the bouquet will be addressed. But remember that packaging for flowers should be beautiful, but not flashy.

Material selection

The next step will be choosing the material for beautiful packaging of flowers with your own hands. The material can be varied: natural (felt, sisal, jute mesh), paper (corrugated, rice, newspaper, etc.), and synthetic in the form of film, organza or mesh.

If your choice fell on a basket as a bouquet presentation, then multi-colored satin ribbons, laces, beads and bows will serve as an excellent decor for such bouquet packaging. But you shouldn’t get too carried away with such decor, since everything should be in moderation and not distract attention from the flowers themselves. Presenting flowers in a basket will be very convenient, since the person you are giving it to will not have to think about a flower vase.

If we consider the packaging as a wrapper for a bouquet, then when making it with your own hands, in addition to the selected material and colors, you need to prepare scissors, a stapler, tape, decorations in the form of ribbons, bows, lace, decorative butterflies, etc.

How to make flower packaging with your own hands?

When creating packaging for flowers, you need to follow several rules; compliance with them can be called mandatory, since a bouquet is part of ethics and aesthetics:

1. Packaging should not steal all the attention. This may indicate bad taste.
2. The packaging material should be sufficient for the chosen bouquet so that it does not look shabby in a small piece of wrapper.
3. Before packing flowers in a bouquet, it is better to carefully wrap them at the base with tape. To do this, the flower stems must be dry. The bouquet will be more lush and will not fall apart.
4. Do not wrap the bouquet all the way to the ends of the stems. In the finished bouquet, the flower stems should be open at the bottom by 5-6 cm.

Let's look at some interesting ideas for original DIY flower packaging. It's simple, original, budget-friendly and fast, so you can do everything yourself.

Paper packaging

A wide variety of types, quality and colors of paper provides a wide field for creating paper packaging for flowers with your own hands.

The seemingly ordinary newspaper packaging will look original. But the newspaper itself may turn out to be unusual. If, when you are planning to go to a birthday party, you find a newspaper issue with the date of birth of the birthday person, believe me, this will not leave your bouquet unnoticed. A newspaper in a foreign language (English, Italian, French) will also add a certain flavor to the bouquet, even if it contains modest flowers.

To pack, you need to place the newspaper in a diamond shape under the flowers, wrap them and carefully glue the loose edges of the newspaper with thin tape. We tie the bouquet with twine or ribbon (either wide or narrow will do). If desired, it can be laconicly, without frills, supplemented with decor - serpentine, artificial butterflies, a rope lace will look original, etc.

If you have some pretty rice paper, gift wrapping paper, or crepe paper, the packaging principle is the same: Unfold the paper and fold it in half. Place the bouquet from the left edge (if you are left-handed, then from any convenient edge) and roll it into a beautiful cone. The packaging should be secured with a stapler, punching the paper in several places. Then we tie the base with the selected ribbon, twine, or rope. If desired, the edges of the paper can be slightly bent. You can decorate such a bouquet by attaching a small beautiful bow with a stapler.

It is very popular and fashionable now to present a bouquet in craft paper packaging. In the recent past, kraft paper served as packaging for purchases; now it is used to make environmentally friendly bags for supermarkets. It is rough in appearance, which is why it is valuable, as it adds special charm and sophistication to the bouquet.

A combined package made from two different types of papers will look advantageous. For example, delicate rice in combination with craft or colored corrugated in combination with calm newspaper. There can be a huge number of options.

DIY paper flower packaging is a simple, classic option and never goes out of style.

Floral mesh or burlap

Mesh packaging, due to its simplicity, stability of shape, large color palette and ease of use, is widespread and loved by everyone. Natural mesh made of jute, burlap or sisal, as well as artificial mesh, perfectly highlights the beauty of flowers, making the bouquet noble and refined.

Sisal is a fiber made from agave leaves that has a fine mesh-like structure. Dried sisal can be painted in any shade and holds its shape perfectly. Sisal mesh is used for packaging flowers that are not too long.

Jute or jute fiber is a coarse, natural material that resembles burlap. It can also be painted in various colors, but is also good in natural colors from sand to taupe.

Synthetic mesh is an order of magnitude cheaper than natural materials, much stronger than them, and can be used to give any shape to a bouquet. An excellent solution would be a combination of two (no more!) mesh colors that are in harmony with each other and with the bouquet.

When packing flowers in a net with your own hands, first measure the required length of the net. It should be slightly longer in length than the selected flowers. Then we arrange the grid in a diamond shape, with an angle towards us, arrange the flowers from one corner to the other and wrap the bouquet, tucking in the bottom corner. We intercept the bouquet at the base with the selected ribbon or rope.

Or you can fold two pieces of mesh, collect them at the base as if in the form of a bouquet, and place flowers in the center of this bouquet. Secure the base of the bouquet with tape, grab the mesh in several places with a stapler, and use scissors to give it either a round shape or a bag shape.

In conclusion, let’s add a few more tricks and recommendations:

1. You can decorate the bouquet with a wide satin ribbon, wrapping it around the stems in a spiral from top to bottom. Delicate tulips will be very good.
2. For calm bouquets, it is better to use calm pastel colors of packaging. The more solemn the occasion, the more gold and silver decor in the package.
3. The mesh will not be damaged by a wet bouquet. If the bouquet has a long journey ahead, it is better to choose a net for packaging it.
4. A small note in a bouquet will look very cute and express your feelings. The inscription can be both romantic and funny.

Never be afraid to experiment in creating bouquets, because doing it yourself is always investing a piece of your soul. The more often you make your own packaging for flowers, the better it will turn out every time, and the signature “artist’s handwriting” will gradually appear.

Some bouquets look gorgeous even without decoration. But more often than not, correctly selected packaging decorates a flower arrangement and makes it special. To learn how to beautifully pack flowers with your own hands, you should familiarize yourself with the art of decorating them.

Basic Rules

Before you start arranging flowers, you should familiarize yourself with the packaging rules.

When decorating a bouquet, the main emphasis should be on the flowers. The packaging is a complementary element that emphasizes their beauty. And if necessary, hides small defects.

Do not pack flowers entirely in a bag or crepe paper. Decoration with synthetic ribbons has also gone out of fashion.

The packaging should not have too many eye-catching decorative elements. The flower arrangement should attract attention.

Naturalness is in trend, so natural materials are relevant. You can use felt, jute, mesh, sisal or rice parchment packaging.

Wrapping

One common type of packaging material is wrapping film. It can be transparent, with a pattern, multi-colored or plain.

Using a film bag to decorate a bouquet, you will need tape and a stapler. To highlight each flower in the composition, their stems are placed at slight angles. The base of the stems is wrapped with tape to add volume. The bouquet is wrapped in packaging film. Using a stapler, folds are made. A beautiful and elegant bouquet is ready.

Packing mesh

Synthetic mesh is becoming increasingly popular. It comes with a striped or diamond pattern. It can also be with or without the addition of lurex.

Nets made from natural materials look beautiful. They are made from non-woven fabric, jute, burlap, rattan and sisal.

The advantage of mesh packaging is its strength and flexibility. This allows you to transport the bouquet without fear for its safety.

The mesh also adds extra volume to flower arrangements. Green ornamental plants go well with the floral mesh.

Corrugated paper

The corrugated paper packaging will add airiness to the flower arrangement. But you need to work with it very carefully, as it tears easily and quickly loses its appearance.

One design option is packaging that resembles an hourglass shape. For this:

• corrugated paper must be assembled in the form of an accordion;
• place the bouquet in the middle;
• wrap flowers;
• tie with a ribbon.

Rice paper

To elegantly wrap a bouquet with rice paper, you need to collect the flowers so that their stems fit closely to each other. Stems that are too long should be trimmed.

Flowers with small inflorescences should be placed around the perimeter of the composition. You can also add various decorative elements. But don’t get carried away, as the bouquet should not look overloaded.

Wrapping paper

You can simply and tastefully arrange a bouquet using regular wrapping paper. It is necessary to cut out paper of a suitable size, fold and wrap the flowers. You can bandage it with a tourniquet or thick thread. A note with kind words will add romance to the bouquet.

Kraft paper

Bouquets are packaged similarly using kraft paper. A distinctive feature is the original design, which can be selected in accordance with the desired theme.

The vintage style of this paper is attractive and inviting.

Satin ribbon

You can decorate a flower arrangement without using special packaging materials using a wide satin ribbon.

You need to choose a ribbon of a suitable color and wrap it around the stems several times and tie a bow.

For small bouquets, you can wrap the stems to the base. For larger arrangements, you can leave the ends of the stems open.

A beautifully decorated bouquet is the perfect addition to a gift, regardless of the occasion. Despite the fact that recently bouquets are made even from improvised materials, for example, from socks, fresh flowers remain a classic option.

Main requirements

Passing by flower displays, many people have a question about how to wrap fresh flowers in corrugated paper to highlight their beauty. Arranging bouquets, first of all, is a creative process, but if you know the basic rules of florists, you can cope with this task yourself.

Observe the following requirements for the design of compositions:

• The paper used for packaging should be the same shade as the flowers or highlight the contrast;
• Polyester is not recommended;
• Felt, sisal, and decorative mesh go well with corrugated paper. It is convenient to use a jute rope for fixation;
• You should not use large decorative elements for decoration, as they will distract attention from the main element;
• Florists advise using freshly cut flowers - this will extend the life of the flower arrangement;
• You can add some ornamental plants or dried flowers.

Various techniques are used to pack a bouquet, many of them require special preparation. However, there are also methods that even a beginner can handle.

To pack a bouquet, you need to prepare the following materials:

• Scissors;
• Scotch;
• Decorative elements;
• Corrugated paper;
• Floral mesh;
• Flowers.

Before you begin to form a bouquet, you need to cut off the edge of each stem and place them in water. This is done so that the flowers are saturated with moisture, since they will have to spend some time in the air.

Assembling a bouquet

The selected flowers need to be arranged into a bouquet, and their stems should be wrapped with tape. Thus, the volume of the base will increase and become more rigid. Using a floral mesh will improve the appearance of the bouquet and allow the flowers to stay fresh longer.

The use of wide satin ribbon is considered a classic option in flower packaging.

Corrugated paper as a wrapper gives the composition lightness, tenderness and fragility. If the bouquet contains a floral mesh, it is advisable to use decorative plants.

In order to pack a bouquet of flowers in paper, it must be spread on a flat surface face down.

Place the flowers on it so that the ends of the stems remain free. Next, wrap the bouquet in paper and tie with ribbon. Use decorative butterflies or bows as decorations.

There is another option for packaging bouquets, in which we use corrugated paper - it allows you to prolong the freshness of the plants. To do this, take a piece of fabric and soak it well with water.

Then we wrap the cuts on the stems with this cloth, and lay a layer of cling film on top. We prepare a paper sheet with which we wrap the stems of the flowers.

Depending on the number of flowers in the bouquet and its size, we prepare several sheets of paper of the same color or, conversely, a contrasting one. Wrap the top of the stem so that the sharp corners of the square are slightly higher than the height of the bud. Secure the squares with contrasting satin ribbon. As decoration, use your favorite element that matches the composition.

Corrugated paper can be used to pack not only cut flowers, but also potted plants. They are a great alternative to regular bouquets.

Such gifts retain their appearance for a long time, and all this time they will delight the happy owner. Beautiful packaging will help add sophistication. If you don’t know how to pack flowers in corrugated paper yourself, the seller can do it. However, if you show your imagination, you can cope with this task on your own.

To do this, take a sheet of paper and cut a circle out of it. Its radius should be slightly larger than the height of the pot. The edges of the circle can be left smooth or cut out in an openwork pattern. Place the flower pot in the center of the blank. Then lift the edges, securing them with tape. The corrugated mold can be decorated with a satin ribbon and tied in a bow. Instead of ribbon, you can use beads, braid or lace. To add a pop of color to your gift, use paper circles in a variety of colors and sizes.

Nowadays, flowers have become a part of our lives. They can be given as a gift for almost any occasion. Once you have decided which flowers to give, it is important to arrange them correctly. This can be done not only in the salon, but also with your own hands. The hero of the occasion will be pleased to receive flowers decorated by hand.

Design rules

Here are a few secrets that florists use:

Bridal bouquet

Flowers for the bride are an important component of the celebration. They represent purity, beauty and inner peace. When choosing flowers, you should take into account the age of the bride, the style and color of the dress. Of course, you can order decorated flowers from a store, but this is too simple. It will be much more pleasant for the bride if the groom decorates the bouquet with his own hands.

For a wedding bouquet it is best to purchase one of these options: roses, peonies, Italian ruscus, shepherd's purse greens.

The round shape of the bouquet is considered classic . To work on such a bouquet You should purchase pruning shears, glue gun, oasis, scissors, porta bouquet, wire, twisted cord, double-sided tape, decorative pins.

The first thing you will need to do is decorate the handle of the portaquet holder. This can be done in various ways, it all depends on your imagination. In this particular case, we will decorate the handle with aspidastra leaves and a screw cord. Before starting work, you need to remove the grille from the portaquet holder and fill the handle with absorbent materials. This will prevent excess moisture when the flowers are inserted into the oasis. Under such circumstances, the handle will not get wet. The next step is to put the oasis in a container of water and leave it there for a while. The “readiness” of the oasis can be determined by a change in color.

The prepared oasis must be placed in a portaquet holder and secured with a lattice. With the help of technical wire it can be securely fixed. Excess pieces of wire must be carefully removed.

Flowers can be placed in a bouquet holder decorated in this way. The first step is to cut the aspidastra leaf into several parts and place it on the base of the bouquet. Then secure it all with double-sided tape. The leaves are not laid overlapping, but one to one. Using a gun, decorate the handle of the bouquet holder.

Now you can proceed directly to arranging the flowers. Their stems should not exceed 5-7 centimeters. They must be laid in orderly rows in a circle. Once they're in place, it's time for the greens. You should not fill the bouquet with twigs and leaves - the flowers will simply get lost among them.

Original bouquet of roses

Let's look at how to arrange a bouquet of roses with your own hands. Organza will help create a beautiful and elegant composition.

Fresh flowers are taken, whose buds are already slightly open. For such a bouquet you need to take at least 15 roses, otherwise the image will not be revealed. First you need to trim off all the thorns and excess leaves. Then place the flowers tightly to each other: the buds should be at the same level. The next step is to secure it with wire in two places. The stems are trimmed using pruning shears.

Next, it’s time to decorate the structure with organza. Approximately 1.5 meters of organza is taken and used to wrap the base of the bouquet. The fabric must be laid evenly, wrapping the stems to the leaf line. You can secure all the material with a pin.

One flower can also be decorated in such a way that it looks chic. Typically, the design of one flower is a complex composition that consists of several materials. There are many options for how to decorate a flower - dried flowers, grass, artificial materials. It all depends only on your imagination.

Asters: how to decorate quickly and beautifully

Asters are beautiful flowers that look great in burlap and netting.

To decorate a bouquet of asters, you need to take such a piece of mesh so that you can encircle the flowers about one and a half times. Then carefully wrap the bouquet with it, fasten it with a stapler and add a small bow.

Asters can also be wrapped in craft paper and decorated with sheets of cardboard. A checkered pattern will perfectly complement the bouquet. You can also decorate the composition with rhinestones and ribbons, but don’t get carried away.

Composition of roses and chrysanthemums

These flowers go well with each other, so creating a bouquet of roses and chrysanthemums with your own hands should not be difficult. You can decorate flowers using felt and film.

The combination of these materials is quite unusual. Previously, felt was not particularly popular among florists, but now it is in fashion. But the mesh is an indispensable component in modern flower design. To combine them, make the inner layer felt, and the second mesh, placing the mesh below the felt. Secure the flowers with a stapler, bending the mesh outward. Additionally, you can tie the stem of the bouquet with a ribbon - it will look even more impressive.

Peony - the king of all flowers

Peony is an ancient flower, worthy of artist’s paintings and palace rooms. In its splendor and beauty it has always competed with the rose. It is often used for holiday and wedding bouquets. It is not necessary to have special skills - decorating a bouquet of peonies beautifully will not be a difficult task.

You need to choose buds that are not fully bloomed. You can use either single-color flowers or a combination of several shades.

Take 5-7 flowers that you like. When forming a composition, apply the buds tightly to each other. The stems must be trimmed and excess leaves removed. You can insert greenery into flowers; almost any will go well with peonies.

Keeping it fresh

Flowers intended for a celebration must be made in such a way that they retain their freshness throughout the holiday. A small master class on preserving the original appearance:

Flowers are always wonderful. A bouquet decorated with your own hands will pleasantly surprise the hero of the occasion and help lift his spirits.
