How to Wrap Wedding Bouquet Roses

To save on money, many brides do their own floral arrangements. If you choose to arrange your own bridal bouquet, you'll have to gather all of the materials needed to wrap the bouquet. Besides flowers, you need to purchase some basic floral supplies to finish the project.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Floral wire
• Floral tape
• Ribbon
• Floral pins

1. Finish collecting the flowers for the bouquet. Before you wrap the bouquet, arrange your roses and greenery. Plan to cut the stems of the flowers and gather them to the size that you want your bouquet. Adjust the number of flowers and greenery as needed.

2. Take floral wire and wrap it around the stems of the flowers. You want to position the wire at about the center of the bouquet.

3. Cover the wire with floral tape. This keeps the bridal bouquet in place before you add the ribbon.

4. Trim the bottom if you need to make the stems the same size. If you notice that the flower stems are not even, you can use your scissors to make the adjustment.

5. Wrap the flowers with the ribbon. Start at the point that you joined the flowers with the floral wire and tie the ribbon into a bow. Secure the ribbon with a pin.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also wrap the flowers from the bottom of the stems up.

• After you have wrapped the rose bouquet, remember to refrigerate it until you are ready to use it.
