Question

You’ve been asked to create four bridesmaids’ bouquets for an upcoming fall wedding. The wedding will be held outdoors on a farm next to hayfields and an old, red country barn. The bridesmaids will be wearing dark cranberry dresses. The bride asks you to create a sample bouquet. It should be in a circular form and feature seasonal flowers in bold colors that complement the colors of the wedding and the setting.

7. The bride requests that the stems of the bouquets be hand-tied. Which of the following materials would be the best to use for binding the stems?

A. Wire
B. Tape
C. String
D. Raffia

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) Raffia.

The material that would be best to use for binding the stems is Raffia.

Raffia is a species of palm. The palm has fibers in its leaves. This fiber is so good that the industry has used in the fabrication of nets, textiles, baskets, and hats. The material is very resistant.

So in the case of the bridesmaids’ bouquets, Raffia could be a great idea for binding the stems of the simple bouquet. It goes with the thematic of the wedding, that is going to be held outdoors in a farm, in a country barn, next to a hayfield. It really complements the colors of the wedding and the setting.

Answer 2

I would choose the option D, raffia, because this type of fabric is characterized by its resistance and durability, besides that it is very flexible. I consider that the raffia has characteristics that coincide with the place established in the slogan since the stage would be outdoors and on a farm next to hay fields and the barn.
