You are in harmony with flowers, Body flower

 The girls running around the field saw the wild flowers they came across and started picking them one by one and putting them in their ears. I think it is the instinct of a beautiful person to see beautiful flowers and decorate themselves. Discovering yourself as one with flowers and satisfying your desire to become as pretty as flowers is probably the most human thing to want to assimilate with nature, right? Today I would like to tell you about the world of body flowers, where you can decorate yourself with flowers.

Be the star of the party...

 At AIFD in the U.S., every year, florists hold a body flower festival to show off their skills. In American culture, where there are many parties, not only beautiful dresses, but also unique and diverse body flower decorations that can mark the point of fashion become a device to make oneself more unique and stand out. The most well-known corsages and boutonnieres can also be considered body flowers, and come in a variety of configurations, such as body flowers with a shoulder design that wrap around the shoulders or body flowers that decorate the wrist.

Even in Korea, body flowers...

 Even before Corona, the FFFIM (Flower Fashion Festival Imagination) competition was held consistently every year, and a festival combining the fashion industry and the flower industry was also held. Nowadays, each flower group holds a small fashion show to show off their skills. If you look at the works from the FFFIM competition, you can see great walking photos of models wearing colorful and stylish decorations. Since it is a festival, most of the works emphasize artistry rather than practicality, but there are many inspiring decorations.

 In particular, there are many unique inspirational works that are great for incorporating into wedding fashion to make the bride and groom stand out, or to be used as body flowers to uniquely decorate the bride's mother or the groom's mother.

Practical body flower

 The doggy flower garden I ran was located on Gwangalli Beach, and we produced a lot of practical body flower products that helped people take pictures wearing pretty body flowers at the nearby beach. Starting with simple wreaths, we made a variety of products, including hair clips, wrist ornaments, and brooches, with flowers that matched well with the colors of the beach. Flowers were made using fresh flowers only for customers who made special reservations, and most were replaced with silk flowers or foam flowers. Silk flowers these days are so elaborate and pretty that they are just as vibrant as fresh flowers.

 Just seeing customers taking great photos wearing body flowers on the blue beach created such beauty that it made us smile. Rather than simply taking a photo with a bouquet, it would be nice to wear a more colorful body flower.

 

 

Making fresh body flowers

  Fresh body flowers require careful selection of materials. You need to prepare flowers that do not discolor and can retain moisture for a long time, but you also need to put a lot of thought into choosing the materials. Keeping in mind that most flowers used in wedding bouquets are long-lived flowers suitable for body flowers will be a good tip when choosing materials. You can cut the desired part of the flower appropriately and attach it to a tool (pin, tongs, hairbrush, etc.) that can be combined using fresh flower bond. For more delicate work, it is important to wait for the bond to dry to some extent before attaching it. If you have any questions about fresh body flowers or various body flower products, please contact us.

 

In conclusion

 Recently, a variety of flower products such as flower bouquets and flower baskets are being produced, and among them, body flowers may be the most newly developed flower market. I believe that the newly created body flower products with various ideas will be a good inspiration for florists to diversify their income.
