Are you looking for unique ways to make a flower bouquet interesting and memorable? While a bouquet might feature an array of colorful blooms as its star exhibit, it does not have to be limited to flowers alone. Creative additions to a flower bouquet can take it from typical to surprising, from predictable to extraordinary. If you are assembling a flower bouquet and want to give it an extra touch of something special, consider adding unexpected details to it. These will enhance its beauty and make it an unforgettable and very personal bouquet.
Charming Details
Place lollipops alongside the other flowers for a delightful touch that is sure to surprise everyone. Lollipops fit nicely into bouquets, due to their shape and the stick that the candy is attached to. As a result, you can place a few of them in the bouquet -- matching the flower colors to the lollipop colors -- or feature them more extensively with the flowers. Add candy pieces wrapped in brightly colored cellophane to give the bouquet a more vivid appearance. Consider adding old-fashioned candy sticks, such as peppermint sticks, to a winter bouquet. These will add small highlights of color to the bouquet and fit in perfectly with the season.
Sophisticated Features
Add vintage ribbon, acrylic berry branches, pear blossom branches, or a string of pearls to a bouquet to give it a more sophisticated look. For a larger flower bouquet, ostrich or peacock feathers can provide a touch of glamour when they are wrapped around the flowers, giving the appearance that the flowers bloomed out of the feathers. To enhance the aroma of the flowers, slide a few incense sticks into the bouquet. Add only a few incense sticks, as the bouquet could quickly become too aromatic. To spruce up a simpler bouquet, use floral adhesive to glue small jewels to the tops of roses or tulips. This will make the flowers sparkle unexpectedly in the light and will be especially effective at a candlelit event.
Playful Additions
Consider adding miniature toys to bring a touch of fun to a flower bouquet. Tiny teddy bears, trains, cars, mini-teacups, or even dollhouse pieces can take a flower bouquet beyond the ordinary and give it an immediate sense of personalization. Small decorative birds can also highlight the colors and the theme of a bouquet or an event. Most small toys or birds can easily be inserted into flower bouquets by attaching them to floral wire. Wrap the wire lightly around the toys, making sure it secures the item but is not excessively visible. Then insert the wire into the bouquet, alongside the flower stems. This will allow the extra decorative items to fit gently into the bouquet without having to sit on top of the flowers and run the risk of bruising them.
