  1. Step 1

    Choose the color of rose you want. White roses are a beautiful and elegant choice for a winter wedding while pink roses are appropriate in spring in summer. Red roses complement almost any season or type of wedding because of their versatility and because they symbolize love. Choose the color of rose that best suits your wedding theme.

  2. Step 2

    Come up with a design. Once the color of your roses is picked out, think of what other flowers or greenery, if any, you would like to add to your bouquet. Fresh seasonal greens and baby's breath are popular choices. Accents such as feathers and beads can also add color and excitement to your wedding bouquet.

  3. Step 3

    Place your order. Whether you plan on making your wedding bouquet yourself or hiring a florist, once you have the design of your bouquet figured out, its time to place your order. Ordering from a wholesale house specializing in roses and making the bouquet yourself can save a lot of money.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the bouquet. If you're a weekend warrior, the next step is to de-thorn and remove the leaves from the roses, then tape and wrap the stems. The rest is all up to your talent and imagination.
