Decorating a bouquet of tulips for March 8: how to collect and pack

To whom and when are tulips given?

You can please with a beautiful arrangement of tulips on any occasion or just for no reason. A delicate bouquet will help you express a warm attitude and shower your loved one with compliments. You can give tulips to your beloved wife, girlfriend, mother, close friend, sister and even colleague.

A bouquet of tulips can be given to:

• for a birthday;
• March 8;
• The 14th of February;
• anniversary;
• wedding;
• engagement;
• date;
• with no reason.

Experienced florists will help you create a harmonious composition, taking into account the occasion, age and relationship of the donor to the recipient. For example, it is better for a colleague to buy a discreet bouquet of tulips, and for his beloved wife a luxurious arrangement of soft pink or white flowers.

Tulips of a different color or variety

Florists classify tulips as self-sufficient flowers. This means that they make beautiful bouquets without adding greenery or other flowers. Tulips have fairly large and bright buds. Some varieties have lush flowers with several dozen petals - for example, double or peony-shaped. One of the most successful combinations is tulips of the same variety in contrasting colors. For example, red and white, yellow and purple, pink and lilac; also a good option is to combine not two, but several contrasting shades.

What colors do tulips go with in a bouquet?

The right combination of colors and plant types will help you create a beautiful bouquet.

Tulips are usually not combined with the following flowers:

• with lilies of the valley;
• with daffodils;
• with hyacinths.

The exception is a wedding bouquet.

The plants listed above secrete substances that envelop the stems of tulips and cause the entire composition to quickly wither. It is also not recommended to combine lilies and tulips in one bouquet.

Help to create a beautiful bouquet:

• roses;
• chrysanthemums;
• eustoma;
• alstroemeria;
• wildflowers.

Light-colored plants, preferably white, beige and pink flowers, will help highlight the beauty of tulips. You can also create a chic composition from flora of different colors and shades. The combination of yellow and dark purple tulips, bright red and soft pink plants looks elegant. You can complement the composition with a sprig of cypress, juniper or geranium.

DIY bridal bouquet of peonies

An interesting and delicate wedding bouquet of peonies will not go unnoticed. This beautiful flower with a delicate aroma, which we are already accustomed to seeing in our gardens, is a symbol of well-being, respect and love.

For beginners in the world of floristry who have no idea how to make a bouquet for the bride with their own hands, this flower is a real find. Even without additional decorations, tightly held peony buds are a work of art. Both open buds and dense closed ones will look equally good.

Peonies are quite delicate, so it will be better if you place the bouquet in water during the holiday feast.

An excellent background for peonies will be the greenery of geraniums, irises and even decorative apples. Closed small buds of peonies go well with roses. These flowers complement each other not only in appearance, but also in smell. You can combine open pink peonies and white roses, white closed peonies and tea roses, hot pink roses and pale peonies, etc.

If you want to surprise your guests with a chic bouquet, combine white orchids and pink peonies. This composition will become a real decoration for any outfit.

Which bouquet to choose depending on the occasion

Men usually find it difficult to choose floral arrangements. When composing a bouquet, it is important to consider many points. This is not only the reason for presenting a gift, but also the preferences of the recipient, as well as the basic traditions of making a bouquet.

Tulip color meaning:

1. Red tulips symbolize love, passion and passionate feelings. An original bouquet given to your significant other speaks better than any words about a warm attitude and respect. A composition of red tulips can be given to all women over 20 years old.
2. Yellow plants represent cheerfulness, happiness and friendship. “Yellow tulips are harbingers of separation” is just a stereotype. A bright bouquet can be given to your sister or friend.
3. Orange flowers symbolize warmth, care, pride and mystery. A composition of such tulips looks impressive and will give a lot of emotions to any girl. An orange bouquet can be given to your mother, sister or close friend.
4. Pink and white tulips represent youth, tenderness and tremulous feelings. A beautiful bouquet in light colors is appropriate to give to a young girl.
5. Lilac flowers symbolize seriousness and devotion. This bouquet can be given to your wife, mother or colleague. However, it is important to design the composition correctly.

Tulip color palette

Previously, flower shops were dominated by tulips of traditional colors: red, pink, yellow and white. Now there are about 1800 shades of tulips, among which you can find truly unique ones: purple, blue, green, chocolate, black, variegated flowers with multi-colored petals and many other unusual combinations.

The shapes of the plant head are also varied. Just 10 years ago, only traditional tulips with smooth heads were sold. Now the assortment of spring flowers is incredibly pleasing. For a bouquet you can use plants with velvet, peony and small heads.

WHY SHOULD YOU GIVE PREFERENCE TO ARTIFICIAL TULIPS

“Alpine slides” with bright spring tulips always look impressive on a personal plot. These flowers in vases or flower pots brighten up the interior no less joyfully. But at home it is not so easy to provide these plants with the proper conditions:

• The limited flowering period and the need to allow the bulbous flower to overwinter does not allow us to admire tulip compositions in pots all year round. Therefore, it is logical to use flower pots with artificial tulips without reference to the changing seasons.
• Cut flora is whimsical - even with proper care, a living plant will last only 5-7 days in a vase. The water will need to be changed every other day and a fresh cut made. You cannot mix tulips with daffodils. For these reasons, it is better to make an arrangement of artificial flowers that will not require such careful care.
• A living tulip does not tolerate direct sunlight, drafts or close proximity to heating devices. The air humidity in the room should be about 80%. The soil should be moistened regularly with settled water at room temperature. Such difficulties can be avoided by giving preference to artificial tulips. They can be placed in any corner of the room without regard to the microclimate.

Although the cost of a living flower individually per piece does not seem high, a lush bouquet of tulips will not be cheap, and the composition in a vase will last only a few days. But the price for artificial flowers in the TREEZ catalog is very affordable, which allows you to decorate the interior of even an impressively sized room. Such bouquets will delight the eye for more than one season.

How many flowers should there be in a bouquet

I want to please a loved one with a chic composition and give a lot of positive emotions. The number of flowers in the bouquet can be chosen at your discretion.

The composition should not be overloaded with a large number of flora; 2-3 types of flowers and decorative greenery will be enough. The volume of the bouquet also needs to be chosen carefully. For a romantic date, a compact composition of 3-5 flowers is quite suitable. For an anniversary, it is appropriate to give a luxurious composition of tulips, alstroemerias, hydrangeas and decorative greenery.

You can give your other half a huge bouquet of 25, 51 or 101 tulips with a minimum amount of decorations. Such a gift would be appropriate for a birthday and even for no reason.

Arranging bouquets of fresh flowers

If you are going to a friend's birthday or other celebration, then an unusual floral arrangement will be an excellent addition to the gift. Before packing flowers, it is better to check with the hero of the occasion which ones he likes. With this approach, receiving a sign of attention will be even more pleasant. Individual design will emphasize that you tried to please and will delight the person even more. Before you pack a bouquet of flowers, you need to remember a few simple rules:

The wrapper should be in harmony with its contents. Make sure that the design emphasizes all the advantages and hides the shortcomings of the composition. To highlight the beauty of flowers and the purity of your intentions, use soft, natural tones. They go well with any flowers, adding chic, nobility and richness to them.

If you pack it too brightly, it will look stupid and distract the attention of others from the main part of the bouquet. Foil packaging and polyester tapes are out of fashion. In the modern world, presenting such things would be considered the highest degree of bad taste. Nowadays, materials such as mesh, felt, and corrugated paper are at the peak of popularity.

For fastening, you can use ropes, cords, and unusual tapes. If you are giving a small floral arrangement, then you should not decorate it with large decorative elements. A small bow is enough. Dried flowers and green plants will help diversify the composition. However, you should be careful: not all flowers can stand being close to each other. For some, the combination can be disastrous and the bouquet will quickly wither. To add volume to the composition, the stems at the very base are tightly tied with tape and only then begin to decorate.

There are many different techniques and ways to create bouquets. Some of them are so complex that only an experienced florist can handle them. And yet, you can pack flowers in an original way at home without outside help. To do this you will need the following:

• flowers;
• scissors;
• scotch;
• stapler;
• decorative elements;
• burlap, floral mesh or other wrapping materials.

Design and packaging options

Flower shops usually pack bouquets in transparent film. This material is used for transporting plants; it protects delicate flowers from external damage.

Before delivery, the film must be removed, even if it is decorated with a pattern or lace. It is better to tie the bouquet with a satin ribbon. The presentation will be laconic and natural.

Ideas for interesting composition design:

1. Kraft paper is very popular. You can order a bouquet from a florist or do it yourself. The paper will protect the flowers from damage and emphasize the shape of the bouquet. A large color palette allows you to choose a contrasting design or an ensemble to match the composition. Kraft paper is suitable for packaging small, medium and large bouquets.
2. A basket with tulips is suitable for decorating a voluminous bouquet for a birthday, March 8th or anniversary. This composition looks gorgeous and will definitely please the recipient. You can decorate the basket with bows, ribbons and rhinestones.
3. A box with tulips looks luxurious and elegant. A bouquet of several types of flowers and decorative greenery will look impressive. You can order the composition at a flower shop or make it yourself. Depending on the taste of the recipient, you can choose a box to match the bouquet or play with contrast. Can be decorated with ribbon or bow.
4. Burlap and mesh will add naturalness to the bouquet. Tulips just need to be wrapped in material and secured with contrasting rope or thread. This composition will especially appeal to connoisseurs of eco style.
5. Foamiran is a pleasant-to-touch artificial suede. When heated, the material takes on any shape, so it can easily highlight the beauty and charm of a bouquet of delicate tulips.

A topper or a card with wishes will help complete any composition.

How to pack flowers in a pot?

Flowers in a pot are a great alternative to a regular bouquet. This gift will keep its freshness for a long time. To prevent flowers from looking plain, you can package them beautifully.

• The easiest way to pack potted flowers is to make a cardboard or paper box. Place the flower pot in the middle of the leaf. You can take a decorative sheet or a colored one. Fold 2 opposite corners and attach to the pot. Do the same with other opposite corners. Decorate the paper packaging with decorative elements: beads, ribbons, braid, lace or a cute bow.
• You can also pack flowers in a pot in another way. Take 2 sheets: thick and thin. It is better to take colored or decorative paper. Glue the sheets to each other from the wrong side. Make an original bag: fold the sheet into a fan on one side, and bend one corner on the other. Sew 2 ribbons and carefully tie the package. Any decorative elements are suitable for decoration. The main thing is to show your imagination.

How to pack a bouquet of flowers when going to a celebration or just going to please a loved one? Even the simplest field daisies, wrapped in decorative mesh or corrugated paper and tied with a beautiful ribbon, turn into an original composition.

Small flower bouquets can act as an addition to the main gift. A composition made by a florist designer and exuding creativity is a gift in its own right.

Flowers are given to absolutely everyone, you just need to choose the right design. Even a man with a brutal appearance will not be embarrassed by a floral congratulation if the designer knows who the gift is intended for and the bouquet is decorated correctly.

There are no special requirements for the art of floristry, but to create a unique composition a person must have a sense of style and a rich imagination.

Wedding bouquet of tulips

A bride's bouquet of spring flowers looks delicate and impressive. You can choose a mono-bouquet or arrange several types of plants of different shades. When composing a bouquet, you need to take into account several features of these magnificent plants. Tulips are short-lived, fragile, and the buds open quickly.

It is extremely important to take all necessary measures to ensure that the main bouquet of the celebration retains its freshness for a long time. The composition must be wrapped in a towel in advance and placed on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. To prevent the stems from breaking, you should wrap the stem well with threads or ribbons. You can protect the buds from blooming with transparent tape.

The combination of tulips with other flowers in the bride's bouquet

A wedding bouquet of tulips looks cute and romantic, and a composition with other flowers makes it fabulous and luxurious.

Some interesting combinations:

1. Tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. These plants will help create a delicate and fragrant composition for the bride. It is better to use contrasting colors: white, purple and yellow. The result is a harmonious and stylish bouquet.
2. Tulips and irises. This composition looks impressive and will help create a bright accent to the bride’s image. Yellow and purple flowers combine beautifully. You can create a bouquet of any shades that will match the style of the newlyweds’ outfits.
3. Tulips and roses. Combinations of white and red colors look gorgeous. The bouquet looks elegant in delicate colors: pink and cream.

A composition of tulips is an excellent solution for any celebration. The bouquet will give a lot of positive emotions and help express warm feelings. Give joy to your beloved women!

Color scheme of the composition

It is important to choose the right colors of ornamental plants in a bouquet. Often beautiful shades, taken separately, look tasteless together. Cool tones should be combined with cold ones, and warm ones with warm ones. The combination of pink with white or yellow looks gentle. Bright bouquets of orange and purple flowers attract attention.

It is worth remembering that white color can be combined with any other color. It looks especially good with red and blue. Pink goes well with soft blue and olive. The dark shade of fuchsia is best combined with yellow. Red looks gentle with white and green. When creating a bright bouquet, it is better to complement it with blue. Lilac harmonizes with orange, and turquoise with cream. Dark purple goes well with bright yellow.

Monochrome bouquets created from plants of the same color look no less attractive. Here the emphasis is on texture and size. So, for example, lush chrysanthemums are garnished with laconic tulips. You can combine a spring flower with lilies, callas and alstroemerias, which have radically different bud shapes.

Fashionable mono bouquets

Graceful by nature, with a rather simple bud shape, tulips can become unusually beautiful elements of a wedding bouquet.

Large, juicy green leaves and stems will complement the beauty.
The compositions are equally good both in a single-color composition and in a combination of colors of different shades. If the bride is romantic, then it is better for her to choose a bouquet of white tulips. To add passion - yellow or red buds.
In addition, a wedding accessory can consist of tulips alone, or successfully combine these beautiful spring flowers with other types, for example, roses, orchids, lilies of the valley. Even a novice florist can create a bouquet of elements of the same shade.

It is mono-bouquets that are able to convey the divine beauty of the bud, as well as emphasize the uniqueness of the shade.

Moreover, each shade carries a certain symbolism:

• White flowers symbolize the purity and innocence of the newlywed. Its harmony with the girl’s white dress is undeniable. Such a composition will more strongly emphasize the tenderness of the bride’s image;
• Violet flowers are considered to be a symbol of fidelity. And the more saturated the color of the buds, the stronger the love of the young. This bouquet attracts attention with its brightness and expressiveness. It will add special beauty to the newlyweds’ wedding photo shoot. The photos will turn out quite picturesque and contrasting;
• pink buds, like other pastel-colored flowers, will give the bride innocence and real spring tenderness. A floristry move such as adding several white tulips to the bouquet will give the composition a greater effect;
• ardor of feelings and passion will be emphasized by a bouquet of red tulips;
• Despite all the prejudices, a wedding bouquet of yellow flowers is a symbol of warmth and comfort. It is associated with sunshine, the beginning of spring, joy, luck and prosperity.

When creating bouquets, you must use an odd number of flowers. You should select large buds that have not yet blossomed, but, on the contrary, are tightly closed. Stems and leaves should be elastic. Florists recommend using at least twenty stems to create beautiful wedding bouquets.

They must be folded so that the buds located in the center are slightly higher in level than the outer ones. The stem of the bouquet is tied with ribbon or lace and the stems are cut evenly using a sharp knife.
