How to Select a Hand-Tied Bouquet for your Wedding Flowers

Nothing is more elegant than a hand-tied bouquet for your wedding flowers. If you choose flowers in season, they will be fresher, more affordable and will fit in beautifully with your ceremony. The following steps will help you select the perfect hand-tied wedding bouquet.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Florist or silk flower source
• Satin or other style ribbon

1. Research the flowers that will be in season on your wedding date. Most weddings take place in spring, summer and fall when flowers are more plentiful. If you're planning a winter wedding, traditional flowers like roses, lilies, orchids, and daisies are available year-round.

2. Decide whether you want real flowers or silk. Real flowers have aroma and style on their side, while high-quality silk flowers look real and have more staying power.
   
   

3. Match the flowers’ colors to your attendants’ dresses. Mix and match or go monochrome for your hand-tied bouquet, depending on the wedding party's theme colors.

4. Choose flowers to create the theme of your wedding. If you want yellow roses, then match the floral color theme to everything else.

6. Choose the perfect color for the ribbon for tying your flowers. Double-faced wide satin ribbon is elegant and traditional.
