Popular in the 1940's, Glamelia bouquets are a glamourous option for brides looking for a vintage style bouquet. Handmade from individual petals (gladiola, rose, lilies etc) and wired to create a gorgeous single bloom they resemble a camellia - hence the name! I have also heard them referred to as carmen roses/lilies, malmaison roses, rose duchesse, composite flowers or fantasy flowers.
Two examples using gladiola. Gladdies create beautiful soft, feathery bouquets.
A pink rose version, set in a dodder vine frame, with ivy foliage, succulents and berries to create a unusual bridal bouquet.
Geez, they would have kept u busy.
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing, especially the white gladioli.
Those are gorgeous! I just did a blog post about this and linked to your site! ;)
