How To Make A Wedding Bouquet

Make A Wedding Bouquet. Florist Trish Haunton demonstrates how to make a bridal bouquet using garden roses and berried ivy. The only other question is 'Who will catch it'?


Step 1:

You will need

  • 20 20 stems of garden roses
  • 4 stems of berried ivy
  • a tape measure
  • scissors
  • a vegetable knife
  • 1 metre metre of ribbon
  • 3 pearl headed pins

Step 2:

Cut the Ribbon

Measure and cut one meter of ribbon.

Step 3:

Berried Ivy

Choose 4 large pieces of berried ivy, breaking off extra sprigs, leaving stems approximately 20cm long from the last leaf to the tip of the stem. Arrange them in your hand so they make a dome shape. This will be the basic shape of the bouquet.

Step 4:

Roses

Holding the stems firmly but gently place the flowers in and around the ivy, keeping the dome shape to the bouquet. Break off any leaves that protrude under your hand. Then add roses around the outside of the bunch. The stems should radiate out at the bottom of the bouquet. When all the flowers have been added check the shape.

Step 5:

Tie the Ribbon

Wrap the bundle of stems in ribbon starting just above where the hand holds the bouquet. Three quarters of the way along the ribbon, twist the ribbon around twice tightly. Lay the bouquet down and tie a firm double knot. Gather the shorter end and wrap it around the knot. Then wrap the longer end around in the same direction.

Step 6:

Pin the Ribbon

Using the three pearl-ended pins push them through the ribbon directly into a stem. Ensure they sit in a nice neat row.

Step 7:

Cut the stems

For the ideal length measure one and a half fists below the ribbon, and cut all the stems to the same length. Adjust for the ideal shape.

In less than three minutes I learned everything I needed to know about making a simple, elegant wedding bouquet. The concept can easily be applied to any flower type, the key only being to get that dome shape. I watched the video once and it helped make my first bouqet for my friend's engagement gorgeous!!

Perfect. Just what I have been looking for. I intend to use this in combination with a friend who is starting a flower arranging course soon - I only need the bouquet to last the duration of the ceremony and the photos, after that, I dont really care if it falls apart, Im not planning on eating and dancing with it!!

Great - never thought of pinning the ribbon on instead of using double face tape to keep in place. The words were especially helpful as the volume on my computer doesn't work. Thanks!
