Fill the Center With Roses and Make the Top of Your Miniature Rose Bouquet

Three rosebuds are bent back on their wires to form the top of a miniature rose bouquet.

Full roses are added in around the bow and a three bud spray is prepared to finish the top.

Fill Out the Bouquet Center Use your three largest roses threaded between the loops of your ribbon bow, across the width of the bouquet, to fill out the center of the bouquet. Make sure the roses bend up from the wire so that they are higher than the loops of the ribbon and show off well. The roses should not be set in a straight line across the center of the bouquet but should come through the center at an angle.

Check the Shape of Your Bouquet If you were looking at your bouquet from the side, the start of the bouquet would be almost flat, and it will rise to it's highest point in the center of the bow.

Shape the Top of Your Bouquet Take the top piece of three rose and a loop you made in the previous step and bend the wires back under the roses at a right angle. Set this piece so it is positioned just above the main bow. It should shape the trailing top of the bouquet, but the wires should join with the wires from the bow and the main bouquet to form a handle on the back of the bouquet. (See photo next step)
