I'm gonna' share with you how to make a simple wedding bouquet. I think this is the most easier way to make your d.i.y bouquets. Actually, it is not necessary for your wedding. It can be a gifts to your mom, girlfriends, dad, or to whoever. Courtesy from BrideDeForce which you can find all their videos there(link given). Subscribe them, if you want okay.
Hokay, I'm gonna' type or even copy paste the steps for you. And tadaaa, you're done! Try it, I don't even have the time to try it. But one day, for sure I will do it. For some BTBs may not like ceramic, plastic or even fake flowers for their bouquets(like me). This is the easiest way for you, ladies!
Here you go ladies! *Drummmm rollllll*
Step by Step Guide:
1. You will need:
- Flowers of your choice
- Greenery of your choice
-Secateurs
- String
- Ribbon
- Pins
2. Take your flowers:
- Cut the correct length (approximately 12" - but cut longer than you need rather than shorter)
- Strip down the leaves (inch thorns if you are using roses)
- Pull off any greenery or tatty petals around the head of the flower too.
3. Take a flower:
- Add one at a time to the collection in your hand. Build them in a circular fashion making 'a twist' of flowers and filling in all of the gaps as you go along.
- Hold them very tight.
- Keep the flowers flat to the tops as you go
- Take grass, loop and add around the edges. (You can tie it now or continue to add more greenery - as you wish.)
4. Get a friend help:
- Tie above your hand with string. Wrap around twice (or three times) very tightly.
- Then tie around the bottom of stems.
5. Get ribbon (approximately 1/2 meter)
- Start below the knotted string, about hold way down and work you way up. Make it look tidy.
- Wrap tightly the entire stem - you can make it whatever length you like.
- Fold the end of the ribbon over and pin it in place. Push one pin into the top and one into the bottom.
6. Trim the rough ends of the flower stems, making a flat bottom.
