Design a Wedding Bouquet with Hydrangeas & mixed flowers

1. Wedding Bouquet Introduction : So I'm going to show you how to design a wedding bouquet like a professional. It's really a lot of fun, and I like to use a hydranga as the base. So first, I'd gather all the flowers that I'm gonna be using in the bouquet. I'm putting them in separate piles and cleaning up all the stems. And then I'll show you how to design and insert the flowers into the hydranga to make a rounded bouquet. At the end, I'll show you how to tie it up and finish it, wrap it up with some ribbon. And then finish it off with some pins. It's gonna look beautiful, and it's really not that hard to do. I really think you're gonna enjoy it. I hope you have fun. 2. Flowers for Wedding Bouquet : So in making a bridle bouquet, first, you choose all the flowers that are going to be within the bouquet and I lay them out. I clean them up, remove any foliage from the stems, and put like stems together so that when you go to design, it's really easy to just grab and insert. Let's get started and I'll show you how to do it. 3. Design your Bouquet : When designing a bridle bouquet, I like to have hydrangs as a base if that's one of the flowers they like. It creates a nice grid because if you see, they have little stems with inside that you can separate the florets and insert the flower down inside. So every flower has a face. It leans one way or the other. So we want it to be a rounded bouquet. So we're going to put the two backsides together like this. To start the design. Then I'm going to put my tips in. This is stock. I'm going to insert three points, turn kind of like in a triangle form. So they flare out. You can cross the stems. Then you grab and hold, turn, cross the stems, grab and hold. Depends on how big you want it, how far you pull it down. She doesn't want this to be a huge bouquet. So that looks good. So I like to cut the stems a little bit. Try and pull them even as I go along. The next flower I'm going to start with is the spray rose so that I can go right in the center, we can insert the others other roses around it. So, you got to just kind of find where it can insert. You may have to turn it a little bit. Then you pull down. You do want a dome shape. You don't want it to be flat. If one sticks up too far, you can cut it off. Now we'll do the peach roses all the way around. One goes there, twist. Another one go here. At the same height. Twist. And then one right here. Pull down. Hold. I'm holding with my thumb. I believe this one's a little tall. Sometimes you don't know until you get started. Go ahead and insert my white rose. See I'm starting to get a shape now. Yeah. Put this in here. Kind of find the face. You want it to face the way that fills in a hole. No, I think we'll go with the pink roses. We have the peach here. So maybe we'll put the peach pink in here. Out there because she doesn't want it too big, you want it to look good from all sides. Turn. Put one in here. Now, you're going to go through these stems down below and cross them. They're not necessarily going to be up and down. She doesn't want a lot of colors. She wants more white in the souquet with a touch of colors. That's why we're gonna have more white than the bridesmaids boouquets. So I'm gonna do the lavender roses. Make sure no stems are showing. You may have snipped off like that rose This one's up just a little high. Turn. Let me put one over here. Just below the peach one. Sometimes it helps to look down on it to see if you're holding your shape. My need to twist things a little bit. We got this nice naculusP this up in here. Turn. So the face faces out. Awful. Maybe another one right in here. May want to go a little lower. I move things around sometimes just to make sure that it's still holding its shape. Here's a Lizzy anthus we need to pull up the hydrangea a little bit, tucking it under. Turn it. Do it again. Pull up the hydrangea a little bit. They are a little flexible that you can move them. Twist. Put another in here. It's holly nice. Got another rose. Straighten them out. Sometimes, if you want your rose to open more than what it is, you can blow inside or twist it. And it opens up nicely. Do you recommend taking off the prickers which this one I didn't remove, but you don't want to prick your fingers. Now, you want to round it, so that's why you got to bring things down around the sides too. If you're getting finding it's hard to hold, some of the supplies that are helpful are pipe cleaners or chenille stems, and you can wrap around, grab it tight, twist, then your hands are free to let go and just twist. Called them cut it down so it has a nice flat surface, and you can let your hand rest. By squeezing them together and placing it. 4. Wrap it up Conclusion : In the bouquet holder, which is a cylinder base, six inch cylinder base, which we'll bring to the ride's house on her wedding day before she goes to the church so she can get her flowers, is what she asked for. Next we're going to add the tus and some apresia, maybe a little bit of baby's breath, and a few pieces of the status for filler. That way, it'll match her bouquets at the church and centerpieces for the tables. I'm going to grab some baby's breath. So I got the baby's breath and the eucalyptus. That's the filler for them to go around the crown. Three tips of eucalyptus. We drape underneath it. I call it the crown, but it just drapes around three different points. After we add in our other flowers, you can pick it up, you can leave your pipe cleaner on. You can stand over it and see if there's any holes and where you want to put stems. I see one here where it really has a pretty big hole right there. You got to be careful of tulips. I just snapped it. They snap really easily. Try to keep them towards the center of the bouquet. Lay it in gently. Tuck it in nicely. We'll put the tulip down in here. Inside the hydranger to help hold it secure it fills up that whole nice. There's a little hole for the rose down low. You can put in purple status down deep just for a touch of collar inside. You can start seeing how it's looking. Yeah. Now, add a frasiaR side in here. That adds a nice center. You can see. Right in there, floor up a little bit. She likes things rounded, so we're going to keep it rounded for not have too much dimension. I think I'm going to have one more nuculus right here in the center. Poke it up to where you want it. That looks good. Now we're gonna finish adding the Freeza You see as a twist where you might need one, maybe right in here. You can just cross it now, bring it down. Secure it inside here. Turn. And then one more right here. Great. Now I'm going to put another pipe cleaner to help hold them all in place or Chanel stem, whatever you like to call it. Trim my mouth again. Give my hand a break. Sometimes you got to just stretch out a little bit. And then you can start with your greenery, your baby's breath. Kind of look and see how it's looking. Roses, sometimes we get bruised a little bit and handling them. We just have to remove the petals, outside petals. That's looking nice. So now, she doesn't like a lot of greenery, so I'm gonna try and tuck it. And I may just put very little baby's breath. Let me get a piece down in here. Pull it out the other side. Like that. Just a little bit in there. Turn. This has a little bit too much, so I'm going to remove some add a little splash in here. You can see the bottom side where you want to cover up. This is what this is for is to kind of cover your mechanics like that. T and then right in here. That's that. Now we can take our floral tape. This is a sticky floral tape, which helps secure all the stems together so you can wrap your bouquet. Try and straighten out the stems so they're straight up and down before you wrap it without breaking them. And then place it. Hold it with one finger like that, and then stretch, turn, twist, and it sticks to itself. You just keep turning. You want to make a smooth surface underneath water that happens sometimes. I can go back up. Just enough to hold. So now we're gonna wrap the bouquet with her ribbon. She just wanted a white ribbon. Take about a yard, yard and a half of a white ribbon to cover up the stems. And then corsage pins, you'll need probably four to six pins depending on how many you want to put in inside the ribbon to hold into the stems. So I like to take a cloth, paper towel, and dry off the stems before I wrap it. And I think because this is a shear ribbon, I think what I'm going to do is go ahead and finish taping all the stems so it doesn't look so woody through the ribbon. I'm going to continue taping down with my floral tape to give a nice space and surface for the ribbon to adhere to. You don't want to go down too far because you're going to be cutting off some of those stems, the length of the stems. So that creates a nice surface for the ribbon. To start the ribbon, I start a little bit up from the bottom, on the center to make sure it's holding nice and twist. Make sure it's all covered. Then I can start going back up. Keep turning. I like to fold this under so it doesn't snag. And then insert up into the stems through the ribbon to hold like that. Then I'll add the rest. These were two pieces, but you can have one long one. We'll go ahead and finish up all the way. All the way up the stems. And pinned at the top. So now that we're here, I'm going to fold this under. So it doesn't fray. Hold it down and insert the pins. Right underneath each other so it has a nice design. You can do three, you can do five. Pearl heads are pretty. It's really whatever you like. I like the three, so I'm going to stop there. That's it. You can make it. It's really simple. I'm going to do the bridesmaids next, and hope you enjoy.
