There are many possibilities for creating a bridal bouquet from many types and combinations of flowers. These guidelines will help you create your own one-of-a-kind bridal bouquet.
Instructions
Step 1
To get started, you need to make a few decisions. First, what kind of flowers do you want to use in your bouquet? And secondly, you have to decide what the bouquet will look like. Round bouquets decorated with a ribbon and flowers in a portaulette are two of the simplest options.
Step 2
Get a portbouquet holder. It is usually made of white plastic, has a tapered shape, and also has a handle. The bouquette holder has a floristic sponge built into the cone, which is a porous foam material.
Step 3
Place the bouquets with the funnel facing down on a large platter of water. Hold the handle and gradually lower the bouquette to the bottom. This is necessary to saturate the sponge with water. Remove the bag from the water and wipe the surface dry.
Step 4
Start placing flowers and greenery from the bottom of the bouquette, gradually working upward.
Step 5
Take each flower in turn and mentally determine its location in the bouquet before cutting off the stem. Decide how tall the flowers should be in the bouquet, and then cut the stem at a very sharp angle 3 to 5 cm more than the desired height.
Step 6
Insert the flowers into the sponge 3-5 cm. If you want to rearrange the inserted flower, pull it out, cut the stem again and rearrange it to another place.
Step 7
You can make a cascading bouquet by adding greenery (such as ivy or fern) of varying lengths to the bottom of the bouquette holder. Then trim her to a symmetrical look.
Step 8
Make a cuff in the place where the handle of the bouquette holder connects to the tapered part. Use a 5 cm wide silk or satin ribbon. Add some pearls to decorate.
Step 9
To compose a wedding bouquet without a bouquette holder, you can choose different flowers, but the fewer there are, the easier it will be to assemble the bouquet. Choose a maximum of three colors and secure them with wire and tape.
