August 25, 2014 “Beaded” bow Hypericum berries make lovely ribbon-like additions to bridal bouquets and other fall flower arrangements. Thread individual berries onto pieces of thin-gauge wire, and then attach these wires to wood picks and insert them into the arrangement. Before threading the first berry, create a small curved hook at the end of the wire to keep the berries from sliding off. In the case of the bouquet pictured, four berried wires are curved into the bow’s loops and picked into the bouquet holder, and two berried wires are slightly reflexed to create the bow’s tails.
