A beautiful and elegant bouquet does not always have to be big in size. Floral Designer Geertje Stienstra made a hand-tied bouquet of colourful flowers. She shows you how a small bouquet can have a great effect.

Geertje's bouquet is made using the following flowers and materials:
-    Gerbera Cruiser®
-    Rose yellow Prado!®
-    Germini Pixels®
-    Mini rosehips
-    Gloriosa
-    Zantedeschia (Calla)
-    Aspidistra leaf (larger folded and dark green)
-    Dracaena leaf (narrow strips with light and  dark green stripes)
-    Copper wire

The colours of the flowers give the bouquet a soft and fresh look.

Step 1

Start arranging the various flowers and mix the colours of the varieties.
Divide the rosehips among the flowers and arrange the Gloriosa flowers somewhat higher above the other flowers.

Step 2

Fold the Aspidistra leaf in two and arrange two or three leaves around the bouquet for support.

Step 3

Add the Dracaena leaf in narrow stripes and twist around the bouquet. This gives the bouquet a better appearance.

Step 4

Cut the copper wire into lengths of about 30 cm and tighten the wire to one side in circles. Prick at the end of the wire a rosehips and arrange the five wires into the bouquet.

Voilà, an elegant and stylish bouquet for your secretary!
