make your own bridal bouquet
Want to make your own bridal bouquet? This beautiful wedding bouquet is fresh and bright with vibrant roses contrasting with the hydrangeas. This is a true hand tied, although we highly recommend that you create this as a mock hand tie. Both hydrangeas and lisianthus can wilt quickly without a water source.
You will need the following flowers and products:
- 6 blue Hydrangeas
- 7 stems white Lisianthus
- 7 bright pink Standard Roses
- 9 white Standard Roses
- Blue #9 ribbon
- White Sheer Organza Ribbon
- Finishing Touch Flower Sealant
- Green Stem Wrap
- Florist Knife
Do NOT cut your flowers with household scissors. You can crush delicate flower cells making it unable to draw water up the stem. Feel free to change colors or substitute flower varieties to suit your own wedding palette.
Always mist well when finished with a flower sealant. Store in refrigerator or in a vase in a cool, darkened room until the wedding day. Mist each day and replenish water in vase as needed.
