Mayesh Design Star: Cascading Bouquet

Рет қаралды 47,570

Жыл бұрын

In her third & final Design Star video, Sue demonstrates how to create a cascade bouquet using sustainable mechanics, or without the use of tape, wire, or foam bouquet holders. She designs two different bouquets: a modern, minimal take and a more traditional cascade.
She begins by creating her simple, handheld armature using curly willow, but any flexible, branchy material will work. This armature is purely functional and structural and will disappear once the flowers have been added. The base of the bouquets is created using a hand-tied spiraled bouquet, something that seems simple but takes a lot of practice. She even recommends taking a class or workshop on spiral bouquets (ahem, we have one right now!)
To add a little artfulness & whimsy, Sue shows us a few of her favorite sustainable techniques to add unique & interesting elements to her cascade bouquets. Watch the video below to discover all of her tips & tricks for the traditional cascade bouquet that is currently making a big comeback!
P.S. If you are looking to learn & practice your spiral bouquets, then be sure to come to one of our 2023 workshops: www.mayesh.com/design-tour

👏👏👏Absolutely stunning! Your instructions were outstanding and you hit on all of the critical elements. Yes, I can certainly see why an entire course could be given on cascading bouquets. Many thanks for your generosity of sharing your design knowledge.

High quality silk flowers are the way to go IMO. Just as beautiful and after the wedding you can make something out of them. After my wedding my mom asked if she could have my bouquet which I happily gave her as I knew her favorite flower is lily of the valley. She made the most beautiful center piece out of my bouquet that still sits on her dining room table. I smile every time I go to her house when I see them. Real flowers are expensive and are already wilting by the end of the day. It's all sujective but I hate seeing stems, I like the cascade holders that make it a clean and pretty look that will not poke and or harm the dress.

I love the sustainability aspect. These are flowers, an organic material, and there shouldn't be plastic and foam involved if possible.

Thank you so much for your fantastic video and explanation of your technique, do you suggest any other flowers as a substitute instead mimosa?

@susanmcleary6494 Жыл бұрын

Yes! Any blooming branch would work, some favorites are pieris japonica, weeping cherry, and spirea. For yellow, forsythia and solidago are favorites.

Stunning. What would be a good flower petal to string for a late August wedding? Thanks for all you do.

@susanmcleary6494 Жыл бұрын

Individul petals? Off hand, rose, carnation, and marigold are some favorites!

@susanmcleary6494 Жыл бұрын

Marigold petals would be amazing! If you can't get them, carnation petals would work as well. I also love stringing mums, hypericum berries, and agapanthus.

@schwesi5961 Жыл бұрын

for marigolds, roses etc, do you prefer to string the whole flower head or single petals?

@susanmcleary6494 Жыл бұрын

@@schwesi5961 - I prefer the whole heads, but you could certainly string petals. I like to stack them up into little piles, and thread them onto my lei needle for fast stringing!

Hi I’m X,Y or Z floral designer and Mayesh is paying me LOADS of money to make this ad for them and tell you a bunch of things that you want to hear to make you think that you’re making a difference when in reality the money STARVING company owners of companies like Mayesh are the real people that can make a difference 🙄 you know “paper straws” and “for the turtles” BS they say while drinking their Starbucks on the freeway while their Tesla drives itself! Yes a bit passive aggressive but an ex florist here that has been thru a lot lately and I needed to get that out 😮‍💨 here lately it seems only the EXTREMELY privileged ones can afford the luxury of fresh flowers 😢 while the rest of us are struggling to put food on the table.
