NORFOLK – Several brides-to-be and others with an interest in wedding flowers
attended a Norfolk Botanical Garden workshop recently to learn the ins and outs
of making boutonnieres, corsages and bouquets.
Starting with a white carnation, floral designer Frances Thrash taught
participants how to individually wire and wrap flowers and leaves to make a
professional-looking boutonniere. She then explained how to create a corsage by
doubling a boutonniere and adding extra flourishes.
Participants learned to make bridal and attendant bouquets in the second day of
the workshop a week later.
