• The bouquet can be in one color, or show a bright color combination. So, to make an orange composition, you should stock up on fresh carrots, orange bell peppers and tomatoes of the same color. The bouquet can be not only orange, but also red, green or yellow. You can choose the right vegetables for any of these colors.

• If the bouquet is wintry, then it can be diluted with a little fruit.Small tangerines or kiwi look great in vegetable bouquets.

• In addition to various vegetables and decorations such as neat lettuce leaves, when making a bouquet, you must use wooden skewers of sufficient length, as well as tape, a stapler, a knife, wrapping paper and tape for decorating the composition.

It is recommended to plan what the vegetable combination will be, in what colors and shades it will be performed. Some people pre-draw the simplest diagrams, adhering to which they make very good edible multicomponent gifts. Knowing exactly what the finished present should be like, it will be easier to choose the ideal components of the "correct" colors for it.

We will analyze step by step a master class on modeling a beautiful presentation for novice masters who do not have rich experience in such creative work.

To collect, indeed, a spectacular and elegant bouquet of fresh fragrant vegetables, you need to properly prepare them. It is not recommended to neglect this stage, since the neatness and aesthetics of the finished vegetable composition will depend on it.

We will find out exactly what preparatory operations will be necessary in the manufacture of a bouquet.

• Each vegetable that will be present in a non-standard bouquet must be washed as thoroughly as possible. There should not be a single dirty speck on the products, as this will necessarily negatively affect the attractiveness of the entire composition as a whole.

• Before starting to assemble a bouquet, vegetables must be dried after washing. Some positions can be gently wiped off with a soft towel or paper kitchen napkin.

• It is necessary to remove all curves "tails" and roots, which can spoil the aesthetics of the future bright bouquet.

• Some vegetables should be pre-peeled if necessary. Cleaning should be done very carefully so as not to spoil the appearance of the food.

When all edible components are fully prepared for further work, you can proceed directly to assembling a chic, healthy bouquet. This is done very simply, the main thing is to initially have a certain idea, in accordance with which it will be more convenient and easier to assemble the composition.

First, you need to determine which vegetable will act as the center of the entire composition. For example, it can be large and juicy peppers. It should be strung on skewers. And also on skewers you need to string carrots, hot chili peppers, yellow bell peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower and other selected edible ingredients. All vegetables, strung on skewers, are collected into a single structure starting from the side of the center point.

Between themselves, you need to combine skewers with individual vegetables - peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and so on. It is necessary to connect these components by means of scotch tape. It is necessary to rewind skewers with vegetables as securely and firmly as possible so that the elegant bouquet does not crumble later, losing its visual appeal.

When a beautiful bouquet of fresh vegetables is fully assembled, it will need to be beautifully decorated.A spectacular edible combination with skewers wrapped in tape must be carefully laid out on attractive paper or special film. Next, the bouquet is folded into the chosen decorative material.

The paper or film in which the bouquet is wrapped should be tightly tightened with a regular money rubber band. However, the gum alone will not be enough here, since it will not add attractiveness to the appearance of the composition. It is advisable to tie a beautiful bow made of shiny ribbon over it.

You can decorate a vegetable bouquet not only with elegant packaging, but also with inserts of flower buds and fruits of bright colors. There are many ways to decorate such compositions.

Bouquets made from whole ripe vegetables are relatively simple and attractive. If you want to present a more non-standard and bright edible gift, then you should consider a way to compose a chic bouquet of cut vegetables. These compositions are more difficult to create, but they also look completely different.

The most beautiful and creative bouquet combinations are obtained, which are made up of vegetables that have undergone floral curly cutting. This method of slicing is considered a separate art form. To make a bouquet with its use, you must demonstrate perseverance, show patience and maximum care. From the first try, beautiful flowers from vegetables may not work, since mastering this technique is a matter of practice.

Before collecting a bouquet, small imitations of flower buds are cut out of pre-prepared vegetables. This process is very complex and time consuming. It is recommended to use for this only vegetables that have a harder shell. Beautiful cut flowers will not come out of soft components.

Having made an unusual and very beautiful cut-out bouquet, one should take into account the fact that it is not designed for long-term storage. Even if exclusively ripe vegetables were used for its manufacture, it will be able to stand in its previous attractive state for only a couple of days.
