BRIDAL TAPESTRY
AN ARTISTIC COLLAGE
OF BLOOMS FOR A
CONTEMPORARY BRIDE
For weddings and other special
events, Iranian fl oral designer
Yassi Taheri is often inspired by
the elegance of white blooms and
monochromatic color harmonies.
For this tutorial, she envisioned
a bridal bouquet in classic white
but with a contemporary attitude
that showcases fl oral artistry at its
apogee. Starting with a bespoke
armature she crafted by hand,
Taheri created a gauzy tapestry of
botanicals in which the stems are
integral to the design as the blooms.
An intriguing concept, indeed,
created with a modicum of materials
but an abundance of originality.
Step Step
Step 1
Create a fan-shaped armature for the bouquet
by fi rst bundling 12 pieces of 16- or 18-gauge
fl orist wire and then binding them together, at
one end, by taping approximately 8 inches of
the wires with step wrap. This section will be the
handle for the bouquet. Next, bend each wire
at a 90-degree angle, and space the wires
consistently to create a quarter-circle arc.
