Handheld Plumeria Wedding Bouquet Design Tips
Florists who design a handheld plumeria wedding bouquet typically focus on a host of tropical flowers while keeping the plumeria as the featured blossom or blossoms. If you are making your own bridal bouquet with plumeria, a few helpful tips ensure a successful design.
- The blooms will last longer if you place freshly picked flowers in cold water for several hours. Keep the blooms out of the water, but bring the water high enough to submerge the stems but stopping just below the flowers. Once cooled down, remove the flowers from the water and place them in a large plastic bag. Be careful not to crush the petals. To protect the flowers while in the bag, use a straw to blow air into the bag just before closing it.
- If you plan on ordering plumerias, keep in mind that some varieties may not be available until the warmer summer months. You may be able to find rare varieties at nurseries in Hawaii.
- Keep in mind the scent of some plumerias can be overpowering. If you're allergic to flowers or if you're highly sensitive to certain aromas, you may want to visit a local nursery or florist and ask to smell the flower before making a decision.
- If you love the tropical look of plumeria, consider adding a bloom or two as a hair accessory for you and your bridesmaids.
- Add tropical greenery such as ferns or palm fronds as accents for a truly exotic bouquet.
