A simple single-flower wedding bouquet is not difficult to make, and the classic dome shape of this round bridal bouquet complements most wedding gowns. You should ensure to stick to hardier flowers like roses, which are easier to arrange and can endure a little manhandling. To make a bridal bouquet about 8 inches in diameter, following instructions can be followed. This bouquet takes between 30 and 60 minutes to construct, and about 30 to 60 stems.
The main requirements for creating a Bridal Bouquet are 30 to 60 stems of a hardy flower like the rose (20 to 40 for each bridesmaid bouquet), Bucket, Paper towels, Ribbon (in a complementary color), 1 to 2 inches wide, Rubber bands or green waxed floral tape, Stem cutter or very sharp knife, Stem stripper and Straight pins or pearl-tipped corsage pins.
The first step is the preparation of the flowers. Thorns, excess foliage and unattractive outer petals ought to be stripped off by hands or by using a sharp knife. Subsequently a bucket full of water is taken and stems are cut 2 inches from the bottom keeping them immersed in the water. The resultant flowers are to be kept in the water to absorb some of the moisture for some time. It should be noted that the stems should be kept long before the final finishing is done. The cutting cannot be undone, therefore, one should be very careful in cutting short the stems. If the roses' head aren't open yet, the blooms can be forced open by placing stems in hot water for a couple of minutes. The longer duration of roses in lukewarm water may kill the flowers.
Step 2 is to assemble the Flowers. One stem at a time is taken with one hand, and the other hand is used to hold the flowers in place. Then, four flowers are assembled at an even height in a square shape as these will be at the center of the dome. Thereafter, the other flowers are arranged one by one around the center flowers to create a dome shape. Knot Note: To better see what the bouquet will look like in your hand, stand in front of a mirror as you construct the bouquet to observe how the shape is progressing.
After assembling one needs to secure the bridal bouquet. A floral tape or a rubber band is tied at an appropriate spot to fix the stems. Similar procedure is done near the end of the stem leaving a buffer of 2 inches stems, which ought to be taken care of when the final finishing is performed.
The concluding step is to finish the handle. The objective of this step is to make sure that the flowers are in harmony with each other and that no extra part of the stem is hanging aloft. Unless this step is performed meticulously the bridal bouquet won't appear beautiful no matter how stunning and attractive the flowers may be. The matching ribbon is finally used to wrap the flowers. This bridal bouquet is kept at a cool temperature so that the decay of the flowers can be avoided.
