Is there anything more ethereal than a December wedding? The prospect of snowflakes falling and decadent Christmas trees…the ornaments and lights that glimmer and glow softly through a procession. Whether it’s something more comfy and down to earth such as this beautiful wedding set up with flower petals and lights or something lavish enough for a princess such as this, having beautiful wedding flower bouquets is something anyone can achieve and (with some help from Global Rose) at an affordable rate too!
We have a plethora of bouquet wedding supplies that can have you in an amazing of winter-land of wonder with displays such as these beauties. For the technical aspect of binding the flowers, visuals are a great help. Please watch the video posed above, and, at your leisure, we have more videos for detailed diy wedding bouquet work right here. We recommend ordering flowers that are in season as they are sure to be the most beautiful and truest to themselves.
The first step is to start off with some wedding bouquet ideas, get fabulous inspiration such as these wonderful blooms from Pinterest and the thoughts will certainly pour in. Once you have gathered a couple of ideas for your wedding bouquet flowers and whether you may want extra red Christmas berries or perhaps globe-like pearls here and there as ornaments to the arrangements, it is a simple matter of crafting. Either way, this personal touch of managing your own cheap wedding bouquets will not only be a financially smart decision, it will lend the wedding to having an intimate mark that is distinctly one’s own.
Secondly, after gathering the heart of the show: the flowers, here is some supplies you will require: floral shears, floral tape, bouquet pins, and a bouquet wrap of your choice (such as white ribbon). You will need an appropriate workplace such as a kitchen. Make sure to clear everything out. If possible, a great tip is to work in front of a mirror, which will help you visualize proportions so that you may get everything just right. Make sure your flowers have been sitting in water prior to working with them, as you want well-hydrated and robust blooms for the wedding. A cool location is the most appropriate for storage.
When everything is set up, the next task at hand is to prep all the flowers. Remove foliage from the stems so that making the bouquet goes by much smoother as well as remove the thorns from your roses. Then, make sure all the stems are about the same length. After which, you shall choose 2 to 4 flowers that shall serve as the base of the bouquet. Bunch the stems together and wrap with floral tape. Make sure that there is 1 to 1 ½ inches of exposed stem visible from where you begin to wrap the stems and anywhere between 4 to 5 inches of exposed stem from the bottom.
Build upon the bouquet by adding more flowers around it and forming a “bunch”. This is when your inspiration truly comes in, as you should gather the flowers according to your personal preference and creativity. Mixing different colors, sizes, and textures definitely creates a context that will dazzle the eye!
Do not forget to keep on wrapping more floral tape as you add flowers to the forming bouquet, which will lend it great support. Subsequently, when you are happy with the display, wrap the stems once again with a final layer of floral tape which will extend down as far as you please. You may leave anywhere from 0 to 4 inches of exposed stem depending on what you like. Then, with your bouquet wrap (think of an elegant ribbon), use the floral tape to guide you to cover it entirely: pin the ribbon horizontally so it is parallel with the floral tape. Continue to wrap until all of the floral tape is covered and pin to secure the ribbon. Hence, you will be left with a beautiful diy bridal bouquet and with the pride of having done it yourself!
