I could use some help with ideas and how to for a brides bouquet using Gladiolus. Anything to get my brain in motion would be wonderful..... I kinda feel like a vegetable!

Here's a couple of ideas, there is the composite glad, you can just cut the glad in between blooms and use them as you would any other flower, the dreaded arm bouquet (that's just my personal opinion on that)), or how about a septor type bouquet? Might take alot of wire and taping but how about a dramatic bouquet upside down, meaning a sort of garland of blooms that would trail behind her.... uh oh... it's late I better quit. Hope that helps gets you started

What about using bridal glads, and then use them as a trailer for shower bq?

The glad florets would work nicely into a tight styles bouquet, or adding a bloom within the floret, I love the glamilla idea, it ws one of my long time favorites years ago...you could make various sizes from dramtic, elegant or simple.
Fashioning it into another style of accesory is the rage right now!
I love the glad and it is a beauty in all it form and uses.
Good luck
