The first question usually is: How many flowers do I need for my beautiful bridal bouquet?
It all depends on the kind of bouquet you want. It can be a single type flower bridal bouquet or a mixed flower
one. A mixed bouquet is one that has one or more types of flowers. You can make it with 2 or 20 different types.
It can, but it does not have to have focal flowers, one or more secondary flowers, and fillers or greens. The
number below can change specially if you use a lot of greens like the Lily Grass / Bear Grass, a green that does
not add a lot of volume to the bouquet or arrangement but it adds to the look and feel. The bigger flowers like
hydrangeas will always need a small number of stems in any bouquet or centerpiece.
Keep in mind your budget: For example, Peonies and Garden Roses are the most expensive flowers. Fillers and
greens are usually cheaper. So, don't be afraid of mix and match.
Some Focal Flowers
Agapanthus Asiatic Lilies, Calla Lilies, White Calla Lilies, Carnations, Gerbera Daisies, Hydrangeas, Oriental
Lilies, Ranunculus, Roses, Spray Roses, Star of Bethlehem, Sunflowers, Tulip Flowers
Some Secondary Flowers
Alstroemerias, Bells of Ireland, Button Pom Poms, Chrysanthemum Pom Poms, Delphiniums, Dianthus Flowers, Disbud
Pom Poms, Green Ball, Hypericum, Kangaroo Paws, Liatris, Snapdragons, Stock

Instructions on How to make a Traditional Bridal Bouquet with Roses and/or Flowers
Example: Between 3 to 50 Roses or any type or combination of Flowers Bridal Bouquet
Choose a working area that includes a table or counter top and a floor that can resist water.
On your table, have handy the following tools: one roll of green floral tape, one set of spears, one
rubber band, two or three decorative pins and one roll of decorative ribbon.
In a water-filled container have ready your roses/flowers stems.
One by one, remove outside petals and unwanted foliage and all thorns from each rose stem and place them
on the table.
Once you are finished with all stems, take one rose in your hand and hold it by its 'neck'.
This rose is your focal rose. One by one, begin adding all other roses-flowers to that hand. Place each
stem in such a way that it wraps around the focal rose or flower -always keeping sure that the stem is
parallel with the previous stem.
Constantly, adjust the height of each flower so that none is taller or shorter than the rest.
As you increase the number of roses flowers in your hand, adjust your grip so as not to place unwanted
pressure on the 'neck' of the stems.
When you are almost done adding all stems, look objectively at the bouquet and see where the gaps are.
Place the remaining roses in these areas.
With the help of someone else, wrap a rubber ban tightly around the 'neck' of the bouquet.
Take the floral tape and concealing the rubber band, wrap the tape around the stems. Depending on the
length you choose for your stems, wrap the tape up to one inch prior to the final length of the bouquet,
continuing to wrap on the way up. Once you reach the 'neck' of the bouquet, cut the tape.
Take the decorative ribbon you have chosen and wrap it around the stems, being sure to cover all the
floral tape. When all the tape is covered, cut the ribbon and hold it in place by pinning it with one of
the decorative pins. Add more pins depending on your taste.
Take your spears and evenly cut the stems approximately one inch below the ribbon.
You did it!
Instructions on How to make and create a Cascade Bridal Bouquet
Example: 8 Rose Bridal Bouquet with Gypsophilia (aka Baby's Breath). You can use any Flowers.
Choose a work area that includes a table or counter top and a floor that can resist water.
On your table, have handy the following tools: one roll of green floral tape, one set of spears, a few
rubber bands, two or three decorative pins and one roll of decorative ribbon.
In a water-filled container have ready your 8 rose stems and a handful of gypsophilia.
One by one, remove all outside petals, lower leaves and thorns from each rose stem and place on table.
Begin by placing one stem of baby's breath on the table. On top of the gypsophilia, place two rose
stems. As you place your flowers, stagger them so that the top layer does not block the bottom layer.
On top of the roses, place two more stems of baby's breath. Create a pyramid shape by widening the
width of the bouquet and by placing three roses on top of the second layer of gypsophilia.
On top of this layer, lay two additional stems of baby's breath.
Repeat step six until you have used all eight stems.
With your hands, grab all eight roses and gypsophilia stems and adjust all the flowers so that they flow
naturally.
With the help of someone else, wrap a rubber band tightly around the stems and below the leaves.
Take the floral tape and, concealing the rubber band, wrap the tape around the stems until you reach the
distance of approximately one inch from the bottom. With the same tape, continue wrapping upward until
you reach the rubber band. At this point, you may cut the tape.
Take the decorative ribbon you have chosen and wrap it around the stems, being sure to cover all the
floral tape. When all the tape is covered, cut the ribbon and hold it in place by pinning it with a
decorative pin. Add more pins depending on your taste.
Take your spears and evenly trim the bottom of the stems.
You did it! Enjoy.
