DIY Bouquet with Trader Joe’s Flowers
Hi there friend! Let’s make a DIY bridal bouquet with Trader Joe’s flowers! Look, I understand how overwhelming you may feel with the idea of designing your very own bouquet, I’ve been there! Are you a bride on a budget or maybe you’re the creative type! I want to share easy steps to create and design your very own bridal bouquet with Trader Joe’s flowers. Depending on the season of searching for your favorite stems the same concept will apply depending on what month you’re shopping. Lucky for us, Trader Joe’s always has an amazing selection of pretty blooms to purchase all year long! I’m sick of chatting about, let’s get started won’t we? I’ll prove to you that designing a DIY bridal bouquet is easier than you think!
How to Create Your Own Bridal Bouquet
I recommend purchasing the floral and designing this bouquet 1 day prior to your big day, keep the floral in a cool place with water in a vase, like your bathroom or fridge if it can fit until you need it!
You will need to grab your floral tools:
Flowers from Trader Joe’s
(2) Greenery – Greenery of choice
(2) Focal Flowers – Your personal favorite flower
(1) Filler Flowers – This is your filler, it can be textured or a subtle pop of color
(2) Statement Flower – A taller flower that has movement
Floral Tape
Floral Scissors
Ribbon
Floral Pins
Glass Vase or Bucket
Faux Floral Favorites
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.
You’ve Got Yourself a Bouquet!
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!
