{Dress Up Those Stems}

Perfection is in the details, and nothing finishes off a bouquet quite like a little detailed treatment to the stems of a bouquet.  Whether it be satin white ribbon or a textured velvet finish, I love to add a little personality to the last finishing touches on the handle.

A little bling or a family brooch, you can tie in your wedding day look right down to the final touches.  Above are a few of my favorites we’ve created.

Here we finished off the stems with a tone on tone brown french twist treatment along with a complimenting gold brooch and pearl pins.

A brown flocked ribbon treatment wrapped the stems, accented with a brown brooch to pick up the feathers.  Gold freshwater pearls created bands to add that extra lush touch!

Cerise ribbon wraps the stems here along with decorative bullion accented with blue freshwater pearls for a fun color combo!

Pink Velvet and Brooch Treatment

Soft velvet ribbon is accented with a pink brooch.

Croton Leaf Stem Wrap

For this bouquet we used colorful croton leaves wrapped around the stems of the bouquet. Over this we then did a french twist treatment to hold these in place.

Fur Stem Treatment

Here we’ve wrapped the stems with faux fur accented with rhinestone detailing.
