Black Tie Bouquets: Black-Beaded Flowers

Glossy, black-beaded flowers dance among puffs of white hydrangeas in a lush, rounded composition; the long, black-satin streamers are gathered at the ends in soft ruffles.

Ruffled Streamer How-To
1. Cut a 2 3/4-inch-wide satin ribbon to a length of 2-feet-plus, enough to wrap once around
stems and tie in a knot.

2. Trim ribbon ends with pinking shears. Mark top edge with pins four times at 2 1/2-inch intervals. With matching thread, sew triangles from mark to mark.

3. Pull thread to gather and knot. Tie around ribbon-wrapped stems of bouquet.

    I purchased flowers from kcullen4444@gmail.com and they were much prettier than the ones in the photo. I picked out the type of flower that I wanted and she even let me help make one and my thumbs hurt for days. Everyone at my event commented on how beautiful and unique they were. Great way to make your event memorable
