Make Your Own Bridal Bouquet

Hand tied bridal bouquets can look casual or formal and can be used to create a number or common bridal bouquet styles such as a presentation bouquet, posy bouquet, round bouquet and the Victorian wedding flowers called tussy mussy which these where often used to convey a message to the receiver.

The hand tied bouquet is a style that most brides and florist prefer; it is also a very easy bridal bouquet design if you want to make your own bridal bouquet as it is very easy to assemble.

Generally this type of wedding flower design holds about 15 flower stems, but this will vary depending on the types of wedding flowers you are using, even the bridal bouquet style and the size of your bouquet and your bridesmaids.

You can use anywhere from one dozen (posy size) to two or three dozen and more for a large bouquet.

The stems are usually cut to 30cm (12 inches) however this can vary depending on your own personal taste and the bridal bouquet design. When deciding on a suitable length do a test; by cutting one stem a little at time and test the length with both your hands. When you have got the correct size, use this as a guide for cutting the other flower stems.

To keep your flowers fresh place the bouquet stems in water, keep it soaking for as long as possible. When you are ready to use it use a towel to dry of the ends so that the water with not stain your dress.

The type of wrapping that you use on your bouquet will have a big effect on how it looks. You can wrap a satin ribbon all the way down the stems for a formal look, or leave a portion of the stems bare.
