DIY Lily Glamellia

Lily-Glamelia_Bridal_bouquetLily Glamellia bouquet is popular as a bridal bouquet or a table décor.

Originally Glamellia bouquets were created out of gladiolus petals and remind a camellia flower.

That is why it was named Glamellia:

Gla   – from gladiolus and mellia – from camellia.

 

The most long lasting petals have Oriental lilies. To force blossom opening fester, remove all the flowers from the stem and place in room temperature water. Never use warm water!

 

To create a 6” Glamelia we need 2 stems of lilies, 10-12 large Salal leaves and a hot glue gun.
