Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

Silk or real flowers
Floral cutters or scissors
Floral tape
Ribbon

Step1

Decide on a type and color of flowers for the bridal bouquet. Pick either fresh or silk flowers. Buy as many as you need for your bouquet.

Step2

Arrange the flowers. Lay them on a flat surface and bunch them together to get a round, fuller bouquet. Make sure some stand higher and fill any empty spaces.

Step3

Use floral clippers or scissors to cut the excess off the longer stems. Inspect the flowers to ensure they are all the same length.

Step4

Hold the stems together tightly and wrap them together with floral tape. Overlap the tape as you wrap it down to the end, and around the bottom of the stems.

Step5

Cover the floral tape with a silk or satin ribbon. Wrap the ribbon down the stem. Follow the same process used for the tape. Use either craft glue or floral stick pins to secure the ribbon in place.
