6 Flamboyantly Feminine Is there a bride in there? The fifties followed years of wartime austerity. Men returned to the factories where women had filled an economic gap and feminine fashion was back. Full skirts, clinched waists and an apron for forays to the kitchen became the signature style. Shauna s bridal bouquet oozes extravagance and optimism as it heads into the future. How to make: Step 1 Create a chicken wire style mesh frame from silver Aluminium wire then bend the frame into a rounded teardrop shape. Ensure that the cut ends are bent around securely. Step 2 Cut lengths of the same wire and combine them to form a bouquet handle. Weave a base out of silver Bullion wire to create a platform then attach to frame securely. Step 3 Weave green Pearls on Reel throughout the frame distributing them evenly. Twist up the ends of the handle base with pliers to make pretty curls. Step 4 Cut pieces of Statice then wire them onto lengths of Bullion wire and thread over the frame. Repeat this process by wiring and threading pieces of Gypsophila, white Orchids then Hypericum to build up the design. Finish by wiring and threading Sim Carnation petals onto the frame. Once the desired length and volume is achieved glue on pinches of Stocks and Diamantes Sprays. Complete the design by gluing and pinning three perfectly placed Phalaenopsis blooms.
