The most modern version of the traditional bouquet are edible bouquets. These are fast becoming favorites and are popping up everywhere. Not only are they fun and charming, but they are also a greener alternative. Everyone will enjoy receiving them, looking at them and, above all, eating them. Those wondering how to make edible flower bouquets should know that there are hundreds of different varieties to choose from. The first step is really determining what type of edible bouquet you want to create.
It’s hard to know where the edible bouquet really began. Maybe the cookie bouquet came first, or the fruit bouquet. From candy to vegetables and more, imagination is the limit of what can be created.
These make great gifts and can be enjoyed by everyone, young and old alike. Perhaps you would like to consider who you are targeting and what that person might enjoy. Another thing to consider is a color scheme or theme. For example, a colorful version of cookies would be perfect for a sick child. However, if you are choosing an arrangement for a dinner party, it may be more appropriate to choose a more elegant fruit bouquet, with dark berries and other fruits.
One can start this process by preparing the fruits, vegetables, cookies or sweets for the bouquet. Wash and peel fruits and vegetables as necessary, remove seeds, and place on paper towels to absorb excess liquid.
Wooden skewers can be used to hold these items in place in a vase. Carefully string these items together and prepare them for stabilization in the vase by nailing them to a head of lettuce or a ball of aluminum foil. Keep repeating the process until all the items are used, and then carefully arrange the bouquet, filling in any empty spaces with edible greens or some other filler item to complete the look.
