"Hi my name is Christine Holanda, and today I'm going to show you how to make a holder bouquet. First of all you start with a holder, this is a basic holder. It has the foam in it to hold the flowers, hence the name. Now I have one that's somewhat ready to go, just to save on some time here. And basically what I've done is just put the flowers in according to the look and feel that I need for this arrangement. And you just put flowers all the way around to make it a nice even look. And you can add some accent flowers here and there just to kind of give it a different appearance. Lift them up and place them right into the foam. Then of course you're going to want to add your filler flower, which gives it that nice soft appearance. And then you definitely want to add some greens. And those you can up through these little holes, but you want to make sure that you cover the entire holder. Because you really don't want anyone to see that. You can also buy these in white and green, we happen to have a white one today. And there you are. You can either wrap this with ribbon, the holder handle, or you can leave it as such. There are also different types of the holders, some are more ornate, some are more simple. It's really whatever you're looking for to complete the theme and the feel for your wedding day. My name is Christine Holanda, and this is how you make a holder bouquet."
