How to make a bouquet of strawberries for a wedding?
You can turn these berries into adorable roses.
A master class with step-by-step photos clearly demonstrates how to do this. First, you skewer the strawberries. Then take a sharp knife and cut through the skin from below to make 3 petals. Do one more over them in a checkerboard pattern. Thus, go to the top, there will be 3 petals on the crown. Create some of these fragrant berries, after which you will need to wrap the resulting fragrant flowers in paper. But such a bridal bouquet must be created immediately before using it, so that the berries do not wind up.
You can combine strawberries and chocolate to create a delicious bouquet for the bride. But you need to make sure that no one feasts on them.
It will be more convenient for a girl to carry a bouquet in a previously created container. This container needs to be decorated to make it look beautiful. There will be regular berries and glazed ones. Then you dip the berries first in white chocolate, and then dip some in puffed rice, and cover others with pink icing. Then you will need to cool these delicious aromatic elements and collect the bouquet.
You can arrange the berries on a floral sponge. You will cut it to the size of the container you will be using. Each berry will need to be strung on a skewer, then processed and installed on the base. Then it remains to wrap the container in a suitable package so that it is clear that this is a bridal bouquet.
To keep the strawberries their original appearance as long as possible, choose strong berries and do not wash them before starting to create a bouquet. Then string the strawberries onto wooden skewers and wrap in pretty paper. It remains to tie it with a scarlet ribbon. See how beautiful regular whole berries look when there are a lot of them.
You can complement a similar bouquet and decorate with flowers of a similar color, but with white splashes. These can be roses or carnations of this kind.
See how to make such a composition. Take:
- nine skewers;
- 9 berries;
- flowers are red with white blotches;
- satin ribbon;
- beautiful wrapping paper;
- greens.
To keep the bouquet of berries longer, take strawberries of low-juiced hard varieties. Do not wash it or pick off the green tails.
String the berries onto the tip of the skewers. Then place flowers next to it. Cut off a few branches of greenery, decorate the bouquet. Then wrap in a suitable package, tie first with a strong thread, and on top with a satin ribbon.
Since the wedding is connected with love, we suggest making a strawberry bouquet in the shape of a heart. To do this, you need a floral sponge of this shape. Cut it off with a knife. Then use this tool to remove the stems of the roses. Now string each on a skewer and stick it into the sponge.
Thus, fill half of the container. On the other hand, also attach the strawberries and put a few leaves of greenery between them. The sheets will also come in handy when you make the framing. First, you will need to create several holes in them, then you need to lay the composition on the side and tie it with a thin satin ribbon. Decorate with pins with tips of this color.
Then you can put it in a suitable container to turn this beauty into a bouquet. But it is more convenient to place such hearts on the tables to decorate the room. Here's another idea for such compositions. To do this, take strawberries, cut each in half, then pierce with a skewer to connect these parts. You can leave the blanks as they are, or you can dip them in chocolate. Place the resulting sweets on a platter to decorate the table for a wedding.
Such strawberry hearts will look even more amazing and appetizing if you dip some berries half in chocolate and half in pink icing. To make it, you can melt the white chocolate and add food coloring in that color. It will also come in handy when you decorate chocolate berries. It will be necessary to pour the frozen sweets with this glaze. Until the chocolate is frozen, cover it with colored sprinkles so that it sticks well here.
If you will be making table decorations or a bridal bouquet, then by all means use at least a little white chocolate. This color is in perfect harmony with red and since the wedding personifies the tenderness of a young wife, this color is also perfect. You can additionally sprinkle it with puffed rice or cover it with small strips of pink icing. Pierce the floral sponge with skewers to place the berries here, then wrap the bouquet in suitable paper.
Since red berries are in perfect harmony with greens, we suggest making a bridal bouquet of such tones. To do this, you need to take a few strawberry leaves and wrap the berries in them. Then you will need to secure the foliage with toothpicks. And you attach the strawberries themselves with wooden skewers. Outside, wrap the bouquet with strawberry foliage and tie it with a satin ribbon.
The photo selection shows what an interesting veil the bride has. You can use such an accessory for a photo zone. And a young husband will not fail if he wears a red bow tie with white peas or a tie of that color.
The bride can take not only a bouquet of strawberries, but also use one that is in harmony with this berry. Then you will need to take roses, daisies, chrysanthemums and arrange them in color. And it is interesting to take a picture with a basket of berries. Let the groom and his friend, the witness, have boutonnieres of red roses, which will also suit the celebration. Or you can use tulips or other red flowers at the budding stage. Use the skewers to fix the strawberries here as well. Wrap it with foliage and put some flowers from these berries. You can additionally decorate the boutonnieres with white feathers. Rewind the leg of this little bunch and secure the pin to fasten it.
If you are afraid that juice will be released from the strawberries at the height of the celebration, then do not pierce it with a skewer, but take and put the berry between the flowers. For example, between peonies.
White roses are also suitable for a strawberry wedding. Add here a small garden carnation, greenery, and one berry can be tied to the flower stem with a thread.
Similar compositions, only small ones, can be made to decorate the table. Then take a berry along with a long peduncle, add flowers here and use thin satin ribbons to tie it to the legs of the glasses. Lay strawberry tablecloths, put napkins there with such motifs. You can also place plates with strawberries painted on them and arrange these berries in such baskets.
If you are celebrating a wedding in the country, then take lettuce leaves from the garden, wash them with cold water, dry them and put them in pots. Place fragrant strawberries in the center. You can make baskets out of the bark and place the berries here. But such a slide of strawberries, reminiscent of a Christmas tree, is very simple. Take a foam cone of this shape, each strawberry must be washed, dried and attached with toothpicks. And fix the largest berry on top. You will get an inexpensive and original piece of jewelry that is very effective.

And in the next photo, the biscuit cakes are covered with chocolate glaze. When she froze, a white frosting was squeezed out of a pastry bag. Chocolate of this color can be used as it. Attach a few berries here from which you first make hearts or leave them in the usual shape, first dipping in chocolate and covering with a chocolate mesh of a contrasting color. Place the figurines of the newlyweds on top.
