Creating a fl ower crown used to
be so time consuming with the
old-school wire-and-tape method.
But now, creating a fl exible base
onto which one can glue fl owers
and foliages is much quicker and
provides more control of fl ower
placement. is method also
creates lighter and more
comfortable-to-wear headpieces.
Open spray roses are the perfect
blooms for this type of wearable
design. I was inspired by two
gorgeous new spray rose varieties
from Rosaprima—'Be Loving', a soft
chiff on-pink variety, and 'Sahara
Sensation', with a warm pale sandy-
peach hue. ese two varieties have
with large blooms ( for spray roses),
which open fully and hold up well.
