October 20 is approaching, and fresh flowers will often be the gift that many people buy for their mothers and girlfriends. Therefore, Tastetutorial.com will reveal a tip to make your gift more “unique,” which is to make your own bouquets from vegetables and fruits. Let’s find out right away!
1 How to make a vegetable bouquet
To make October 20th more special, you can use vegetables to create a sparkling bouquet to gift. Before starting, you need to prepare some ingredients such as: Kale, purple cabbage, bell pepper, green apple, red radish, raspberry, red roses or tulips, and succulents.
Additionally, you can freely change the vegetables above with other types according to your preferences. Finally, you will need some wire, ribbon, green waxed string, and floral foam for the finishing touches.
Step 1
Cut the stems of the flowers short, then use wire to attach them to the stems, wrapping green waxed string around to secure the “fake” stems tightly.
Step 2
For vegetables like green apples, bell peppers, raspberries, and red radishes, insert the wire or wooden skewers from the bottom of the stem up about 1/3 to 2/3 of the fruit for stability.
For bouquets using heavier fruits like corn, wax gourd,… insert 2 to 3 skewers and then secure them with tape.
Step 3
For the kale, remove any damaged or wilted leaves. Next, separate each kale leaf and arrange them around the succulent (or flower).
Step 4
After completing the “stamen” of the flower, you will alternate the types of vegetables that have been wired and add fresh flowers to make the bouquet more colorful and vibrant.
Step 5
Once the bouquet is arranged to your liking, hold it tightly. Adjust the heights of the vegetables as desired so that it looks pleasing, trimming any excess wire or wooden skewers. Finally, use tape or floral wire to secure the bouquet tightly.
Step 6
Separate the purple cabbage leaves and arrange them outward, surrounding the flowers to hide the tying wire and make the bouquet look more “blooming.” Finally, use ribbon to tie it tightly and make a bow. Additionally, you can use wrapping paper to wrap it up for a more elegant and eye-catching bouquet!
And that’s it, your vegetable bouquet is complete. It’s not difficult at all, right? The bouquet with its variety of colors has a unique appearance, and as a bonus, this bouquet is also good for your health!
2 Notes when choosing
For those who do not know how to choose colors, you can select fruits of the same color such as green from broccoli, green grapes, kohlrabi, bitter melon, rosemary leaves, etc. Or you can combine two colors from white broccoli and purple broccoli to create sophistication!
In addition to vegetables and fruits, don’t forget to buy a few fresh flowers to accentuate or purchase various herbs like thyme, rosemary, or cinnamon to help the bouquet emit a gentle fragrance!
