How to pack tulips in sisal. How to beautifully arrange and wrap a bouquet in paper and other packaging

If you ask the beautiful half of humanity what flowers she associates with spring, sun and joy, most will name tulips. These delicate, graceful flowers have an inexplicable appeal. Almost everyone loves them. By the way, tulips have been known for many centuries, and in different countries romantic legends were formed about these flowers. Interestingly, all these beliefs attribute to the tulip the ability to bring happiness and luck. I think this is a great occasion to present a bouquet of lucky flowers to the person you love!

And we all know how women try to follow fashion, and therefore the bouquet must comply with all the latest trends. Then he will cause not only delight and gratitude, but also become an object of pride on the pages of various social networks. Yes! Florists also have their fashion trends.

The color of the flower is a key factor, despite the tautology

Why I personally love tulips - for the incredible variety of colors. Breeders have tried and brought monophonic flowers of all shades: from white to almost black. There are varieties that combine several contrasting colors, there are double varieties and flowers with an unusual fleecy edge. Here, as they say, a matter of taste. But we plan to create and present a fashionable bouquet, therefore, when choosing a color, we adhere to the following rules:

• in the spring of 2018, gentle soft shades of pink are in trend,
• a combination of pink and white in one bouquet is considered fashionable,
• if the bouquet is prefabricated, then if, in addition to tulips, other flowers are planned in it, it is appropriate to use no more than three different shades,
• in a magnificent bouquet of tulips alone, any number of flowers is allowed, even if each bud has its own unique color.

The latter is my favorite option, such a bouquet will certainly charge both the giver and the one who receives a “present” splashing with colors for the whole day.

It is important to say what you wanted, not what happened.

Fashion is fashion, but there are many well-known meanings of one color or another. Red means love, white - innocence, yellow and orange are credited with the ability to attract material well-being, fame and success. Lilac symbolizes loyalty, purple - wisdom and respect.

However, you should not attach too much importance to the color of the bouquet, especially if the person to whom you will give it does not understand this very well. Is it only with the yellow color that you should be careful. Otherwise, instead of joy, you will get tears - many still remember the song about "yellow tulips - the messengers of separation."

So choose a bouquet, guided by simple rules:

• it may be the favorite color of the person to whom they are intended,
• the younger the lady, the lighter the shade of flowers should be,
• the more passionate and romantic feelings bind you, the more logical it is to choose colors from the red spectrum.

Goal-scoring chance, good serve... goal!

It is not enough to choose flowers, it is important to present them correctly. And let's not hope that magic tulips will cope with the task of bringing joy without our efforts. To make the present recognized as fashionable and stylish, forget once and for all about cellophane and ribbon spirals curled with scissors. This is the last century! Today, flowers are given in a completely different way.

It's not the hat, it's the box

The main trend is the packaging of the bouquet in a box "a la hat". Most often, it is round and should correspond in size to the selected colors: only buds can look out of the box, the stems are hidden inside.

If you decide on this type of packaging, make sure that the color of the box matches (even in contrast) with the bouquet itself. The brighter the shade of tulips you choose, the calmer the packaging should be.

In the box, you need to put a floral sponge previously soaked in water and stick the stems directly into it. A bouquet in a box has several obvious advantages:

• it's beautiful, trendy and still not beaten,
• convenient, because a vase is not required for a bouquet,
• you can create an individual decor on the box if you give a bouquet with children, for example,
• inside the box, in addition to flowers, you can put the main gift for the celebration,
• Another trendy trick is to put in a box not only tulips, but also fruits, sweets or no less trendy French macaroni cakes. They are also multi-colored, and with their help you can either shade or enrich the palette of the bouquet.

If hands grow from the shoulders

A variation of the bouquet box is a small eco-style wooden box or a wicker basket. The box, by the way, if desired, you can do it yourself. Find materials without problems, boards, for example, or plywood. And a hammer if you don't already have one.

You should not make the box too big, it is better to make it deep so that the tulips, as in the box, fit on most of the length of the stem. Inside also put a moistened floral sponge. The outside of the box can be decorated, or you can leave the natural wood pattern intact. Later, when the bouquet fades, such packaging will remain a nice decor element in the interior.

Newspaper in a new way

Another trend is craft paper wrapping. Remember, in childhood, they made such a bag for sweets? Here! And now this is a squeak that any fashionista will appreciate.

The paper can be the natural color of wood, sometimes funny ornaments or drawings, inscriptions are printed on it, and sometimes they imitate newspaper strips.

You need to wrap the bouquet in accordance with its shape. Pack long tulips in the same bag. And for a shorter and more magnificent bouquet, form a “skirt” from a pair of sheets of paper.

It is very fashionable to add tree branches, ears of corn, a lot of greenery to the bouquet. However, juicy tulip leaves with the latest trend do a great job themselves. The main thing is not to overdo it. Pomp is now a sign of bad taste.

A well-tried and timeless classic

If fashion is not your forte, and you don’t trust your taste too much, use proven classic solutions. Present a mono-bouquet - an armful of tulips, the stems of which are intercepted by a ribbon. Only it must be necessarily fabric, not paper braid.

By the way, tulips are also good at an affordable price, so you can give your beloved not three flowers, but a whole armful.

A beautiful bouquet of flowers, which is wrapped in paper or packaging, can be a gift for the holiday.

You can give it to women, men, the main thing is to choose the right style.

And it is not necessary to turn to the services of a professional, you can wrap a bouquet with your own hands, recommendations and rules will help in this matter.

A bouquet is considered a universal remedy that can be an addition to a gift for the holidays.

It is also often used to pay attention or simply to cheer up a loved one. Much depends on the design method.

It is worth noting! Of course, even if you give a bunch of flowers that will not be wrapped in special paper, it will still make a good impression.

If you want to be original, then you should use decorative elements that will make the bouquet bright and expressive.

If you decide to beautifully arrange a bouquet, then first you should consider the basic forms.

Rarely florists in flower shops wrap tulips beautifully, mostly they prefer beautiful packaging of roses. Many are wondering how beautiful and original to pack them at home from your front garden? There is nothing complicated about this, you need to follow a few tips and turn on your boundless imagination.

How to pack tulips

For the composition you will need freshly cut flowers with unblown buds.

Undoubtedly, any presented bouquet of fresh flowers will delight and cheer up any woman. After all, in the language of flowers, tulip means love.

Tulips of any color look great in one bouquet. What can be done from them for a bouquet:

1. Cascading composition;
2. Ikebana;
3. Ball-shaped bouquet;
4. Linear bouquet in the form of 3-5 tulips with lots of greenery;
5. Packing in a tall basket;
6. In the form of a spiral;
7. Dilute the flower arrangement of tulips with sweets, which are wrapped in paper in the form of tulips, attached to a wire and diluted with them in a bouquet.

Making a bouquet composition of several varieties of tulips should be done with special attention. So that large buds do not clog small ones, the colors blend well, for this you can use the color wheel of I.V. Goethe.

Types of packaging bouquets

Beautiful original packaging, matched to the color scheme of flowers, will create the necessary atmosphere:

Packing a bouquet of tulips is easy, they go great with any packaging and accessories.

Choose packaging for flowers in each case is different:

1. Best suited for a wedding - organza and ribbons;
2. For a birthday, packaging in the form of a mesh, corrugated paper or film is suitable;
3. At the birth of a child, it is better to create a composition with the addition of green plants and tie with a pink or blue ribbon;
4. For sad events, the bouquet is tied with a black ribbon;
5. On March 8, use the packaging of a festive flower arrangement - a jute ribbon, where you can put a postcard or a note.

Beautiful flowers and beautiful packaging are not the only thing that is important in the composition, but also how to present: with what words and actions. All together leave an indelible impression on the recipient of the bouquet and this event will be remembered for a long time.

Important! The tulip retains its appearance in a vase for a week, but subject to a daily change of water and trimming the edge with a sharp knife.

Flower packaging rules

To make the composition look harmonious and tasteful, it is better to choose plants of the same color with different tones. For example: add dark red and dark pink or raspberry to red tulips.

A wonderful composition is made up of contrasting colors: red-yellow, red-white. You should not get too carried away with the packaging materials, it is better to use no more than 3 types.

To make a bouquet lush, you can use stationery tape and paper. Rewind the base of the bouquet with a film, and put lumps of paper in the middle between the branches. If flowers are placed in a box or basket, then they should be packed in the same tone as the flowers, then such a bouquet will look stylish. Packaging should be less bright so as not to distract the eye from the flowers.

If the flowers are too close to the base of the leaves, then it is better to cut them off, so it is more convenient to pack the flowers. Interfering leaves in the middle of the bouquet are also better to cut.

When tulips are placed in water, if they are packed in a film, then remove it, so it will be better for air to flow. Packaging made of other materials can be placed in water along with the bouquet. For a bouquet of 5 flowers, it is better not to use any packaging, this will be a bad sign. In the cold season, any bouquets are additionally wrapped in newsprint or in a special container so that the flowers do not frostbite their petals.

Tulips can be combined in compositions with any other spring flowers, except for daffodils, because they release toxic substances into the water, which makes tulips wither faster.

What could be more elegant, concise and beautiful than a complete floral arrangement of flowers and greenery, skillfully decorated with packaging materials.
To ensure that your bouquets always attract the eyes of buyers, let's look at the types of flower packaging and consider in which case each of them will be most appropriate.
Let's start with the fact that the packaging is natural and synthetic. While it is believed that natural packaging looks more noble, synthetic materials are also widely used by experienced florists and have their own advantages.

Consider the most popular synthetic packaging materials.

1. Color and transparent film- one of the most popular and affordable materials in the design of bouquets. A wide variety of colors and a relatively low price make the film the most popular material among bouquet makers. In the arsenal of each florist, in addition to a plain and ornamented film of various colors, there must be a sufficient amount of white and transparent film for packaging elite flowers on tall stems.

1. Organza - an elegant synthetic wrapping material with a sheen, often used by florists in wedding bouquets. Therefore, in stores specializing in the preparation of solemn bouquets, there should be a sufficient supply of white organza. But organza ribbons in bright colors are good to use in decorating packaging and wrapping stems.

1. artificial mesh has a wide variety of colors and shapes. It happens both plain and decorated with lurex. It goes well with other packaging materials, such as felt. Such packaging perfectly keeps its shape, therefore it is popular both as a full-fledged packaging material and as an element of packaging decor.

Now let's move on to natural packaging.

1. Felt - surprisingly light and soft to the touch, the material is perfect for packing a scattering of flowers. For this purpose, you can use both plain colored felt and felt with a colored print. This type of packaging is perfect for flowers with a long stem. But florists still recommend packing lilies and very tall roses in cellophane, but in no case in color, as it simplifies the bouquet.

1. Sisal- natural fiber from the leaves of the agave, an excellent material for packaging flowers with a short stem and a stem of medium length. You can use both sisal rolls and ready-made sisal frames. However, it is worth remembering that it is worth choosing the color of such a package with extreme caution so as not to visually make the bouquet heavier. The best option would be to use the flowers present in the bouquet. For example, a composition of red and pink flowers is best packed in pink sisal.
   In the design of interiors, gifts and bouquets, designers and florists also use soft sisal in bags.

1. Jute mesh and fiber - natural materials that give the bouquet a natural natural look. This type of packaging is used in status business bouquets, but it is better not to pack a romantic delicate bouquet in jute materials, as they give the flowers excessive severity. Ideally combined with these materials will be exotic flowers, such as strelitzia, anthurium, protea and others.
   Combinations of these materials are also interesting in compositions with dried flowers.

I would like to pay special attention ribbons used in floristry. Ribbons come in a variety of widths, densities and colors. In specialized stores you will find an abundance of colored satin and polypropylene ribbons with and without embossing; plain and patterned; a wide selection of ribbons, incl. and with decorative stripes; polypropylene metallized teip tapes; as well as ribbons imitating an aspidistra leaf. Also in the design of bouquets using coarse natural fabrics, jute has proven itself well. Which tape to choose in each case depends on the type of packaging used and the personal preferences of the florist.

When decorating flower arrangements, it is worth remembering that bright bouquets are best packed in a transparent film. This will highlight the natural beauty of the flowers. If you doubt the color combination of the bouquet and packaging, it is better to use universal colors - beige, white and green.
