Make Your Own Wedding Floral Bouquet

Professional wedding flower arrangements are convenient, however the cost is substantial. You will save thousands by making your own bouquets and arrangements - it is becoming a popular wedding trend.

Decide on style. There are many styles of bouquets, choose the style that suits your taste. Before you start working on your bouquet, think about what you want it to look like. The flowers and bouquets in bridal magazines are very inspirational. You could go to a flower store and look through the pile of pictures they have.

You should then choose which flowers you want in your bouquet. Naturally you will hope to have flowers that complement you're the tones and colors used for the rest of wedding. But bear in mind that the types of flowers that will be available to you at your wedding will depend on the season. Before making your final floral decision, check with your florist about the availability of flowers.

Flower holder. It would probably be easier to hold and arrange a bouquet if you purchase a bouquet holder. Purchase a holder for your bouquet after all of the flowers have been chosen. Plastic is the material used to make these. They most commonly come in white and can be easily found at craft stores. There is a handle for you to hold on to, as well as a cone for the flowers to sit in.

Create the floral arrangement for your marriage ceremony. Set aside a few hours the day before your wedding to put together your bouquet. Sure, you have a lot to do. However, you need to arrange your wedding bouquet when the flowers are at their peak. Begin by collecting ribbons, flowers, and other accessories that you want to put into your wedding bouquet. Soak the green foam (oasis) in the bouquet holder for a few minutes.

After this, it is time to begin putting the flowers in place in the wedding bouquet holder. The first step is to measure each flower against the bouquet holder. This gives the comparison for length measurements. Before inserting a flower into floral foam, trim the stem to the desired length (just around two inches) so the right part of the flower is shown over the foam. Be sure to cut each flower stem at an angle. If it is necessary to remove a flower from your bouquet, you will need to cut the stem again.

Take size into consideration while placing your flowers. You can create a cascading wedding bouquet by arranging the flowers so the shorter ones are on the top and the longer flowers and greenery are on the lower part of the arrangement. You will want your wedding bouquet to look full, not sparse, and appropriately long, so good choices for your bouquet would include ivy or fern. (In addition, these can be easily adjusted to provide the best shape of your bouquet.) Rearrange the flowers until they look perfect. Be sure to hide all the green foam and the bouquet holder.

Hide the handle. After you have finished placing all the flowers in the wedding bouquet, you must wrap up the handle of the holder attractively. Cover every visible part of the handle with a ribbon that compliments your wedding colors. You can make a bow in the front of the wedding bouquet or your can tack the ends at the back so they can't be seen. Your bouquet will be complete once the ribbon is in place.
