Creating the Look

This gorgeous sheer organza chair linen is swathed with seasonal fall varieties in an informal hand-tied design.

Here, Mariana Roses, Bittersweet, Transparent Oak Leaves, and a few stems of Italian Ruscus (all from Mayesh) are brought together in a flat backed hand-tied style and bound with wire.

The sheer bow is knotted tightly to the chair back and the bouquet is securely laced into the finished bow. Corsage pins as delicate trip accessories like beaded garland or pearl cord may be used to anchor the bouquet if you use chairs with curved backs. For this type of work, flowers should be created on the spot. This will give you the ability to control size and depth as well as avoiding damage by ones handling that may occur in transit to the event location.

Overall time to create this look; 10 minutes. Chocolate cosmos is added last to avoid over handling.
