Hey Folks!
Yesterday I went to Maple Flora to buy some flowers, and try to DIY the flowers. and I think I need to buy more!!
I bought cameron rose in dark pink, pink, white and peach, baby breath and statice.
My friend bought that sunny yellow sunflower. Pretty!
The flowers before the ritual. :p
So what I did is buy the sponge, put it in a pail, and wait until it absorbs water and turn dark green, then wrap it in aluminium wrappers.
Next, I just start putting in the flowers!
So taadaa~
First try
Second try.
So moral of doing hantaran yourself is::
a. make sure how much flowers you will need for this.
ex, i thought 8 roses and 4 stalks of baby breath is enough, turns out I could only get a quarter of that round one, and only top ones for the second ones.
b. Make sure to buy more, not less!
I can't emphasize enough on this, as you know flowers could wilt, or the petals could unfurl, as exhibit b. XD
c. do not wrap the aluminium wrapper twice!
I did on the sides and I kept making my stalks broken, and make my flowers stalk shorter and shorter.
d. Make sure which design goes well with the hantaran itself.
No point making a round wreath when you need a tall hantaran, right?
So there you go.
Maybe I'll buy more and try again later.
Hopefully I could do more prettier :D
