Let’s Start with the First Step

Start with your base of greenery, I like to use greenery for stability, texture, and dimension. Make sure to turn your bouquet around so you can design from every angle. Add up to two pieces first to begin. Then add your filler flower, focal flower, repeat 3 times.

And keep adding the floral

And keep adding and adding…have fun with it, don’t be afraid to let it look “messy” or unstructured, this is the whole point! Let your flowers rest naturally at an angle, it will frame your greenery nicely. You want the arrangement to have natural movement.

Next Step, Statement flowers

Finish the arrangement by adding dramatic statement flowers that add height and dimension.

Cut Down Your Stems

Wahoo, looking great over there! Once your bundle is done, you will want to cut down your stems to about 3-4 inches off, so it’s even!

Grab Your Floral Tape

Next you will want to wrap your base with floral tape tightly and secure. All my items I used are listed below!

Wrap the bouquet with ribbon

Tie your ribbon around the floral tape, you can use thicker or thin ribbon, whatever you like.

Now to add your pins

Almost to the finish line friend! Place your pins upward, make sure to cut them down a bit with your floral scissors on the inside if it’s poking out too much.

Aw, she’s a beauty! I hope that you found this resourceful and fun. What’s awesome about designing your own bouquet, you can truly bring your own personality and love for colors within it! Keep those pretty blooms chilled! A good spot is somewhere like a cold room like a bathroom. Make sure to place them in water too!
