This is a bridal bouquet that I've put together as a sample piece for when I have consultations with brides about using french beaded flowers in their weddings. Pictures and verbal descriptions do very little to show the true beauty of this art, so I decided that if I'm going to be able to have this as a buisness, I better make a sample bouquet that they can see, scrutinize, and feel the weight of (they are pretty heavy).

This hand-tied bouquet includes a calla lily, lavender, 2 small roses and 1 large and some fern , all done in 11/0 czech glass beads. I used 3 shades of white to give a more textured, realistic look. I also have 10 swarovski crystals throughout the bouquet to give some extra glitter. I spent somewhere around 30 hours on this bouquet. If you have any other questions about the materials I used or how I constructed it, let me know.

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, and in the future I hope to get it professionally photographed. I will also be submitting other angles of it in my scraps folder.
