Extra Large Bride Bouquet with twig armature

This Bride really wanted an extra large bouquet. It was a treat to make! The hand tie bouquet was approximately 24" across from left to right, and about 18" out from her body plus trailing pieces.

The curly willow armature kept all of the blooms supported in the shape I wanted and allowed for an especially light weight finished bouquet.

The gorgeous large heads of this Explorer rose are even prettier with reflexed petals.
