Pink nerine lilies and
red cockscomb

Lilies and Roses

Front: Pink nerine lilies nestled with red cockscomb combine to form a lively bouquet. Simply gather the flowers, laying the stems at an angle and alternating a couple of nerines with one cockscomb.

Continue adding flowers until they form a round shape. Bind the stems at the base of the flowerheads with waterproof florist's tape. Wrap the stems with more tape and add red satin around the handle.

Tightly braid pink pique ribbon over the red satin, starting at the bottom of the handle and working upward. To finish, tie the ribbon as desired.

Behind: A charming arrangement of pink and white Rosita Vendela roses and snowberries looks elegant adorned with shimmering pink ribbon and a rhinestone buckle. After stripping the leaves and thorns from the roses and trimming the leaves and sticks from the clusters of snowberries, group the flowers together in a spiral fashion.

Bind with florist's tape. Cover the handle with 2-inch-wide satin ribbon. Tie a bow at the top of the handle and hot-glue an antique buckle or brooch to the ribbon.
