.
Next decide if you want silk of fresh flowers. If you want things urgently pick silk flowers so that you can prepare the bouquet well in advance. Otherwise you can make a fresh wedding bouquet a day before the wedding so that it will not wilt.

Themes Does Matters!

Your choice should reflect in the colour and theme of flowers. A tropical wedding theme requires flowers found in Hawaii like orchids. For a garden theme wedding cabbage roses and ivy would be a nice option.Greenery is also needed to follow flowers ivy looks nice with roses and baby’s breath is a classic selection for roses. Ferns look beautiful with daises.

The Flowery Process
When all the supplies needed are collected you are ready to start making a wedding bouquet.Cut all your flowers and greenery uniformly into 3” long. Take the flower into your hand that you want to be in the centre. Lay the next flowers next to it using your thumb and the index finger to hold them together.

Rotate and add more flowers making each row a tag lower than the last. Let the last layer be greenery. Wrap the stem with floral tape stretching it to make it stick it to itself. Place the flowers into the premade the plastic handle with ribbon. Attach extra ribbon in streamers, from the handle.

To make them sparkle give the beads or crystals to the floral picks and tuck them into the flowers evenly through out the bouquet. Keep the finished bouquet in the refrigerator to avoid wilting.
