Learn how to create a wild-look handtie bouquet using professional florist techniques.

In this beginner to intermediate workshop I’ll guide you through all the steps including:

choosing fresh flowers and colours to work with
preparing flowers to last as long as possible
removing any leaves or thorns that will be going below the tie-point of the bouquet
arranging all the stems together to form the handtie bouquet
tying off the bouquet with rustic twine

A handtie bouquet is an arrangement of flowers where the stems are placed in your hand and gradually built up to create a bouquet. The stems are tied together in one place once all the stems have been arranged.

You’ll also learn the spiral technique. This is when you place one stem next to the other, when you’re assembling the handtie, creating a spiral look with the stems and making it so much easier to adjust your flowers once their in the bouquet.

In this workshop I'll show you each stage of this handtie bouquet technique. I use this method when I make wedding bouquets. This is also a great florist skill to learn for making gift bouquets, arranging flowers to place in a vase to enjoy at home or as table centres and for any wedding bouquets you’re making.

Learning all these skills will help you create a handtie bouquet in a wild and natural look.

I’m Alex, and I’m the founder of Webb and Farrer, I’m a florist and I teach flower workshops.

Every year I create handtie bouquets for weddings, events and to deliver as gifts, in this workshop I’ll show you how to make your very own handtie bouquet.

Come and say Hi over on Instagram @WebbandFarrer where I share mini flower tutorials, wedding stories, flower tips and what’s going on behind the scenes.
