Decoration options
To make the bouquet more elegant, you can decorate it with cornflowers or forget-me-nots. For decoration you can use greenery and satin ribbons. Pins with rhinestones are sometimes inserted into the yellow core, but they are more appropriate if the composition is made with the addition of roses.
A bouquet made with your own hands from daisies and yellow or milky roses looks elegant and unusual.
As decoration, artificial butterflies are attached to flowers, drapery is made of snow-white lace, or a brooch is attached. You can wrap the handle with canvas rope or hemp twine - this will be a rural option. The bouquet is wrapped in corrugated paper or organza, but often the wrapper is not used at all.
