Are you too getting married in a few months and want some help in terms of making a floral wedding bouquet for your special day ceremony – we have the perfect step by step guide to help you out:

The supplies
·         Flower tape
·         Hairspray
·         Fresh flowers
·         Crystal beaded pins
·         Thick ribbon


The procedure:
1.       Start preparing the package by removing any damaged flowers and start cutting off the leaves on the bottom of stems by a freshly cleaned pair of pruning shears.

2.       Pick up four or five blossoms from the package and hold onto their stems just below their heads. Start by arranging the largest blossom in the center of the bouquet and then begin to gather blossoms two to three at a time to keep building on the bouquet. Remember to retain a gentle yet firm grip on all the stems while arranging at all times.

3.       You always do have the option of adding large or small leaves to give it a more rustic look. Again go for a start by making the outer ring slightly lower (about ½ inch) and then the main bunch. Angle the heads so that they do look like slightly out rather than straight up. Attach any cascading leaves or flowers at the front of your bouquet while all this time keeping a firm grip on the whole arrangement.

4.       Begin wrapping the floral tape around the stems by starting roughly one inch below the flower heads. Keep going in a spiraling motion around the tape until you roughly reach a point where you’re just two to three inches above the ends of stems or wherever you want the ribbon to end.

5.       Begin wrapping the ribbon around the flowers by getting started on one-third of the way down the stem. Wrap the ribbon upwards towards the blossoms and overlap the distribution of the flowers – especially where the stems begin to bend outward (by ½ inch) then, wrap down to the base of the flower tape. Secure the end of the ribbon by inserting a crystal pin into the stems.

6.       Use the hairspray to spray the head of the flowers and then, give them some time to dry themselves. After that, fill them in a vase that has a water level covering the stem’s end but not the ribbon just above it.  

7.       Keep them stored until use.
