A bouquet of fruits and vegetables is a fashionable and useful trend in the world of gifts, which can always be used to originally congratulate, surprise and feed the hero of the occasion. The advantage of fruit bouquets over floral ones is obvious: the fruit will not wilt so quickly,like flowers, besides, you can eat them and share the treat with guests.
A fruit arrangement looks just as bright, elegant and beautiful as a floral one, and it can bring just as much joy and positive emotions. And even more: if you love juicy fruits, bright colors and fragrant smells, you will receive incredible pleasure from such a gift. Flower bouquets are also pleasing to the eye and smell pleasant, but sooner or later you will have to part with any fresh flowers, sending their wilted buds to the trash can. And you can simply eat the fruits, after capturing them in bright and unforgettable photos. 
Today, designers, florists and craftsmen have come up with many ways to replace flowers with tasty, healthy and equally beautiful gifts. We have already told you how to make . And in this article we will teach you how to make a fruit bouquet made from affordable, beautiful, bright and, most importantly, edible ingredients.

We will talk about the technique of making a bouquet a little later. Now I would like to talk about the ingredients and the principles of their combination.
What is used to make bouquets?
To make edible bouquets, not only seasonal or Exotic fruits and berries, as well as others tasty, bright, aromatic ingredients.
- Vegetables: broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, beets, cucumbers, turnips, zucchini, garlic.
- Greenery: lettuce, parsley, dill, mint, arugula, basil.
- Spices and aromatic herbs : vanilla, cinnamon, bay leaf.
- Mushrooms: champignons, oyster mushrooms.
- Nuts: almonds, walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine.
- Candies and sweets: marshmallows, macaroons, Raffaello, pastille, chocolate, meringues.
- Flowers: live, paper, dried flowers.
The principle of composing bouquets can be completely different: you can select fruits and vegetables according to color or “to the taste” of the person for whom you are preparing a gift. The main thing is that the ingredients are combined in size and look harmonious in one composition. 
To attach all the details of the bouquet, various auxiliary tools and materials.
- Skewers or bamboo sticks- for fruits.
- Vases, baskets, cardboard boxes- for installing skewers.
- Steep dough, polystyrene foam, floral sponge- for the base.
- Cling film, kraft paper, foil, sisal fiber- for package.
- Wire, twine, colored ribbons, scotch- for fastening.
Fruit bouquets are a fairly new hobby and should be decorated with a few simple rules.
- Fruits and vegetables for a bouquet can be pre-cut or used whole. All ingredients must be ripe, fresh, without stains or damage.
- Before you start making a gift composition, you need the ingredients rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Some masters use figured cutting to create fruit bouquets, cookie cutters, shredding knives.
- Do not take fruits and berries that are too juicy, because soft pieces will fall off the skewer. To attach soft fruits and berries, such as strawberries, to a skewer, first put a small slice of apple on a skewer or other hard fruit.
- And sometimes half a grape is strung on top of the main fruit to mask the punctures.
- Cut fruits are wrapped in cling film so that the product does not weather and darken. You can also sprinkle the finished fruit composition with lemon juice.
- For greater effect, the berries are coated with chocolate or glaze with water, gelatin and lemon juice.
- When making a bouquet for adults, you can inject a few drops of alcohol into the middle of the fruit using a syringe.

- plum, kiwi, apricot - compact-sized fruits are easy to thread onto skewers. Use whole small fruits;
- pomegranate will be the highlight of any bouquet. The dense structure of the pomegranate allows you to cut it into four or more pieces without the seeds falling out of the peel;

It is better if you cut the components immediately before donating, then they will not darken and will retain their original fresh look. Or sprinkle the fruit with lemon juice.

Dip each ingredient into the composition and place in the refrigerator to harden. After 30-40 minutes, repeat the procedure again.
If after stringing the fruit the tips of the skewers are visible, you can cover them with halves of grapes. It can also be used to support larger elements. For example, flowers cut from pineapple pulp. Then they string first a grape, and then a decorative flower.
If the bouquet is being assembled for an adult birthday boy, put the grapes in alcohol for a few minutes (cognac is best), and the berries will acquire an unusual piquant taste.
In addition to a regular knife, you can beautifully cut fruits using a slicer or a special slicer knife for curly slicing vegetables and fruits. Also, special graters are used for these purposes; patterns are cut out with Thai knives or other carving devices (pike knife, triangular watermelon knife, zest knife, with a square section, etc.).

Any business requires experience and skill. Creating fruit bouquets is no exception. Try making an arrangement using inexpensive fruits first. After all, only through practice will you learn all the nuances of this creative and fascinating process.
If you want to create a wedding bouquet yourself, then choose any of the two proposed methods. Learn about the language of plants and the principles of flower compositions.
The content of the article:
Flowers are amazing natural creatures. Just looking at them is sometimes enough to lift your spirits. Flowers are used to decorate rooms, decorate tables during a significant event, and are presented as a sign of respect and love. They are bred at home, in the country. It’s nice and easy to go out into nature in the summer to admire the blooming of charming plants and immerse yourself in their aroma.
Language of plants
If you know how to make a bouquet, then you can become a florist, at least in your family, and delight your friends and loved ones with such picturesque gifts. Different colors, different groups of plants are able to tell for a person what he did not dare to tell.
Before you arrange a bouquet, learn about the language of flowers:
- Anyone who wants to express his admiration should present a bouquet of lilies and camellias.
- Mimosa will hint that the giver is carefully hiding his feelings for you.
- If you were given a bouquet of white irises or pink or red roses, tulips, these plants speak eloquently of love.
- Also, red and white roses can, in the language of flowers, assert that you are the other half of the giver (at least he or she thinks so).
- But it’s better not to receive yellow carnations, as these flowers will convey the unpleasant news that you have fallen out of love.
- Carnations of different colors, chrysanthemums and hyacinths are given as a sign of respect.
- Be sure that someone is enchanted by you if you present a bouquet of lavender, violets or burgundy roses.
- If a bouquet of orchids and chrysanthemums is made, it means that the giver is pleased to meet you.
- And one or more branches of lilac will remind or inform that you were the giver’s first love.
How to make a bouquet
If you want to collect spring composition from fresh flowers, then use plants of no more than three colors. Of course, the range of shades must be combined with each other.
For example, if you take purple lilac If you want to add tulips to the composition, they should not be red or yellow. In this case, tenderness will not be achieved. To make it happen, include white, light pink or soft lilac tulips in your bouquet.
You can add other flowers, such as hyacinths, but they should also be subtle in color and blend in with the rest of the plants.
Speaking about how to make bouquets, it is important to note that one can contain several names of plants. A composition that uses gerberas, red tulips, gypsophila, and chrysanthemums looks beautiful.
It is important to follow the color palette and the principle of composing a bouquet:
- Place the lightest or smallest flowers along its edges, but they should not hang down. Gypsophila will look great here. Place dark and bright plants in the center of the composition. Falling and curly ones are placed near the stems of the main flowers.
- Don't use too many greens. Just add a carved palm leaf or a fluffy sprig of asparagus. At the same time, greens should not rise above the flowers, unlike cereals.
- Making bouquets also includes the knowledge that the flowers in such a composition should not be located close to each other, let them look free.
- When creating a composition, think about its concept. When you make a field bouquet, do not combine “complex” and “simple” flowers. After all, among lilies of the valley, daffodils, small daisies, for example, an exotic anthurium, an orchid will look ridiculous. The charm and elegance of a “simple” bouquet of small daisies and lilies of the valley will be emphasized by solidago, iris and other flowers in the same color scheme.
- Use plants that are in different stages dissolution: let there be strong buds, slightly blossomed and fully open.
To prevent cut flowers from wilting longer, add a sprig of geranium or thuja to them. At least every other day, trim the stems, wash them and change the water in the vase to fresh water.
Examples of creating compositions from fresh flowers
If you don't know what bouquet to create for the teacher, the one presented below will be an ideal option. After all, in the language of flowers, hydrangea means “impartiality.”
To create such a flower arrangement you will need the following:
- blue hydrangea, red lily, solidago, spray white chrysanthemum, greenery;
- floral sponge “oasis”;
- thin cardboard;
- polyethylene film;
- artificial small apples;
- sisal coconut fiber;
- red spray paint;
- thick aluminum wire;
- glue gun and silicone glue for it;
- thin floral wire;
- wire cutters;
- scissors.
Take cardboard, form it into a ball 25 cm high. Secure it with glue. Make a small loop from the aluminum wire that will secure the other end of the wire when you remove it from the bottom of the bag.
If you are using cardboard whose color matches the sisal fiber, then there is no need to dye it. If the shades are different, then coat the outside of the bag with spray paint.
Disassemble sisal fabric into fibers or use coconut fabric. Using a glue gun, attach this decorative element to the cardboard cone. And at the bottom, wind it onto a curl of wire.
Take a floral sponge and place it in a container of water. To ensure that it is evenly saturated with liquid, do not drown it with your hands. After 20 minutes, take out the sponge, cut a piece out of it so that it matches the internal dimensions bag. To prevent the cardboard from getting wet, wrap the sponge horn in cellophane, leaving only the top part free.
We will insert flowers into it. Trim them and stick the shortened stems into a sponge horn. To make a bouquet of flowers, first take lily, solidago and greenery.
After you place them in the “oasis”, stick hydrangea, chrysanthemums there and decorate your creation with artificial apples, stringing them on small pieces of wire. You can use toothpicks instead.
The flowers in the bouquet should be arranged quite tightly, but not overlap each other. Along with the blossoming lily, its buds also look beautiful.
You can create such beautiful flower arrangements yourself and present them to a teacher or other respected person.
Jewelry for the bride
Flowers are used not only to decorate the newlywed’s hairstyle, decorate the hall, festive table, but also, of course, to make the bride’s bouquet.
Below will be presented 2 master classes on this topic. In the first, the flowers for the wedding bouquet will be decorated using a porta bouquet maker. In the second one, no.
The bouquet holder is a hollow plastic tube, expanding towards the top, into which a floral sponge is inserted. It is saturated with a preservative solution or water so that the liquid nourishes the flowers for some time.
Bridal bouquet brides made using this device will not only look beautiful, but will also be able to remain fresh throughout the entire festive day.
To create this you will need:
- Portable bouquet holder “Lady”;
- satin ribbon;
- a piece of oasis sponge;
- anchor tape;
- green tape;
- double sided tape;
- 4 white and 5 crimson roses;
- salal leaves;
- viburnum (viburnum berries);
- scissors;
- pliers.
The bride should look perfect both from the front and from the reverse side. Therefore, we decorate the outer upper part of the porta bouquet with salal leaves, gluing them to double-sided tape.
For a better fit, you need to secure these leaves to the ribbed surface with anchor tape.
So that it is not visible, we wrap a light green tape over it.
If you have dry Crisal powder, add some of it to cold water so that a sponge soaked in such a solution nourishes the flowers.
If not, then place the semicircular piece of “oasis” that you first took out of the cone into the water. Don’t forget, he must drown in it himself, without your help, then he will be evenly saturated with moisture.
After this happens, take out the sponge, put it in place in the portaquet holder and secure it by covering it with a mesh. Moreover, the latter should snap onto the white part of the horn.
Next, we form the bride’s bouquet with our own hands, or by calling in assistants. We move on to decorating the handle of the horn, since the composition should look amazing from all sides. Starting from the bottom of the bouquet, cover its narrow part with double-sided tape, and place a white satin ribbon on top of it. Attach its tip using a glue gun.
Now decorate the side expanding part of the horn with leaves. Cut their stem at an angle and immediately pierce the sponge with it.
To prevent the water flowing down from the sponge from wetting the handle of the portaquet maker, we put a dry piece of “oasis” into its hollow part. It will absorb excess moisture, thereby leaving the bottom of the bouquet dry and the bride’s hands clean.
We begin to decorate the wedding bouquet with flowers. Trim the brighter roses at an angle first, distributing 3 on one side and 2 on the other side of the sponge. Then stick in white flowers and fill the gaps between the roses with viburnum and leaves. After which the composition for the bride from roses, leaves and unripe berries of viburnum is ready.
Another wedding bouquet
If you don't have special devices, then you can perform the composition using a different technique. Not only does the bride’s bouquet consist of such roses, it can be made and given as a gift, timed to coincide with another event. This is what the final composition looks like.
For this we have prepared:
- 10 single-headed roses;
- 20 spray roses;
- greenery to decorate the cuff;
- tape.
To make a beautiful bouquet, start by placing 5 flowers parallel to each other. Their height should be the same. Place the next, sixth rose at a slight angle. Place the seventh one at an angle as well.
Gradually, turning the bouquet slightly to one side, arrange all the roses in this way. As a result of using this spiral technique, you will get a beautiful hemispherical shape. Tie it with anchor tape or tape, wrap it several times, tie it, trim off the excess.
To create a cuff, also surround the bouquet in a spiral around the outer circle with greenery. Then tie the composition again, this time with greenery.
Trim the ends of the petioles with sharp scissors or pruning shears so that they are the same height and the cuts are perpendicular. When you hold the arrangement, the remaining stems should be slightly longer than your palm. Now you know how to make a bridal bouquet in another way.
Gift for your girlfriend
Flowers designed in the shape of a heart will touch any representative of the fair sex. And if you make a bouquet with sweets, you will like this gift even more. To create such an original presentation, you will need a little, namely:

- ribbon;
- scissors;
- wide green tape;
- decorations in the form of butterflies on wire;
- pink or scarlet silk ribbon;
- thick floral colored aluminum wire;
- candies "Raffaello" or others in wrapper.
Now decorate the stems with a wide decorative ribbon and tie a scarlet bow on top of it.
Wrap a thin textile ribbon around the inside of the carnation heart. To do this, pass it between the colors in different directions. Fill the resulting bowl with sweets and decorate the bouquet with butterflies. After which you can give a beautiful, fragrant, tasty gift.
