Instructions
Step 1
Tulips are the first messengers of spring, perfect for expressing your feelings. As a rule, bouquets of these flowers are presented for romantic reasons. For a young lady, to whom a young man wants to demonstrate his sympathy, pink is best suited. Red tulips represent passion, and yellow buds are a wish for all the best.
Step 2
If a bouquet of flowers is purchased as a gift to the boss (for example, on March 8), orange should be preferred, as it means power, financial stability and power. In cases where a bouquet of tulips is intended for a man, you can opt for purple tones. Variegated shades of flowers will be a wonderful compliment to the beautiful eyes of a girl. White tulips are considered a symbol of innocence and are usually presented to the bride.
Step 3
In the flower shop, you can buy a ready-made bouquet, decorated in compliance with all the rules. If tulips are purchased separately, or they grow in your garden, remember that according to etiquette, a festive bouquet should contain an odd number of these flowers. Tulips have a rather flexible stem, which lacks rigidity, and therefore it is necessary to fix the bouquet at the ends of the stems, and higher, close to the buds. The stems should be pruned so that they end at the same level.
Step 4
The tulip does not like synthetic packaging, it does not look at all in a pompous shiny wrapper. If you want to somehow decorate the bouquet, you can use sisal, matting or felt for this. However, it is quite possible to do without such accessories by simply twisting the middle of the tulip bouquet with a beautiful ribbon, tying it with a strip of organza or a bow to match the flowers.
Step 5
To make a bouquet of these flowers in combination with other plants, you need to consider their compatibility. Since tulips are spring flowers, don't pair them with chrysanthemums or carnations. If there is a desire to somehow diversify the bouquet, it is advisable to choose a "companion" for the season, for example, hyacinth. As a last resort, irises or lilies will do. But you cannot use daffodils, since they are capable of releasing toxic substances that are harmful to the rest of the flowers in the bouquet.
Step 6
You can complement the decoration of bouquets of tulips with any greenery - both thin stems towering above it, and smooth large leaves, like salad. But most of all, the tulip loves the twigs of cypress or juniper - next to them, the flowers look brighter and last longer. The whole composition can be placed in a pretty basket and decorated with decorative butterflies or beads on a wire.
