Homemade Wedding Bouquet

Have you thought about making your own bridal bouquet?

It will surely be unique and one of a kind if you do. The whole process will take less than an hour, but just to make sure that things will go smoothly, try making one just for practice.

The bouquet should be made a few hours before the wedding, not earlier.

You can choose your favorite flowers to make the bouquet, roses, lilies, or anything else that is resistant. You should have at least 20 stems of flowers to make the bouquet look lovely. You can use up to 40 stems.

The first thing you should do is make the stems look nicer: cut thorns, withered leaves and trim the ends. After you cut the stems, leave the flowers in the water for a while, so they can absorb some water and regain their fresh look.

Pick four flowers that will be in the center of the bouquet: these can have a different color than the rest. Hold them tightly and start adding the rest of the flowers around them. When you're done, tie the flowers with a rubber band just a little bit below the blossoms.

Tie the flowers together tightly also on the lower part, and only leave a few inches free that you will trim later. You can put the flowers in water again for a little while. After they stay in the water, wipe the stems an trim the ends. Choose a long wide silk ribbon ( preferably of a neutral color) and wrap the stems in it.

You should choose a long ribbon, it should be enough for the whole length of the stems twice and also for a nice bow in the end. Start under the blossoms and go down, secure the ribbon, and then go up once again. You can finish it with a nice bow.
