Create a gorgeous wedding bouquet using this simple Diy. Using bright colors & summer berries, this DIY will show you how simple wedding flowers can be.
A great way to try and stay within budget for your wedding is by taking on the task of arranging the flowers yourself, especially your own bridal bouquet! We know it can seem overwhelming, but in this step-by-step tutorial, we will show you how to arrange the flowers just so; creating a lovely floral and berry arrangement. And of course, you can change in whatever flowers fit the color scheme and look of your wedding, but the same general rules for arranging still apply! We recommend picking up all of our flowers, greenery and berries from a local produce market. This is both convenient and inexpensive! So, let's get started!
What You'll Need:Step 1: To begin, soak the foam portion of the
Bouquet Holder in water for 20 to 30 minutes. This will keep your flowers fresh for a longer period of time. We always start any flower arrangements with the greenery. We began filling in the bottom portion of the foam
Bouquet Holder with stems of eucalyptus. We chose eucalyptus because it has a lovely cascading effect that really adds to the dimension of the bouquet once it is complete. We gradually filled in the lower portion of the foam with other varieties of greenery that added different tones and textures to the bouquet.
Step 2: Next, take a few of the larger blooms you will be using and cut the stems so only about an inch is remaining. Push them into the
Bouquet Holder. We like to cluster a few blooms in different shades in one area to add a multi-tonal affect. Add in smaller blooms such as miniature carnations or spray roses to bring in some size differentiation. This also helps to cover a larger area of the
Bouquet Holder.
Step 3: Unreel the Silvertone Copper Wire and using either wire cutters or sharp scissors,cut 3-5 pieces measuring approximately 4” each.
Step 4 : Add 3-5 berries, depending on their size, onto the wire.
Step 5: Push the berry-filled wire into the bouquet foam.
Step 6 : Continue filling the foam with various flowers and berry decorations until the green foam is completely covered.
Step 7 Copy: Lastly, add a few pieces of
Blush Wired Ribbon and
Burgundy & Pink Ribbon through the hole in the bottom of the crystal bouquet holder. Your gorgeous bouquet is now complete and ready to accompany you down the aisle! This arrangement went beautifully at our recent
Berry Inspired Wedding and we are sure you will create your perfect bouquet as well! Want to see more from our Berry Wedding, be sure to look at:
