Build Your Own bouquet

CALL US or CHAT WITH US Building your own flower bouquet allows you to create a personalized arrangement tailored to your preferences and the occasion. Here's how to do it: Choose Your Flowers: Start by selecting the flowers you want to include in your bouquet. Consider factors such as color scheme, flower meaning, and the recipient's preferences. You can choose a variety of blooms or stick to a single type for a cohesive look. Select Greenery: Greenery adds volume, texture, and depth to your bouquet. Choose foliage such as eucalyptus, ferns, or ivy to complement your flowers and fill out the arrangement. Gather Supplies: You'll need floral tape, floral wire, scissors, and a vase or container to hold your bouquet while you work. Prepare Your Flowers: Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline in your vase to prevent bacterial growth. Trim the stems at an angle to help the flowers absorb water more effectively. Arrange Your Flowers: Start by selecting a focal flower or two to anchor your bouquet. Add filler flowers and greenery around the focal blooms, adjusting the height and placement as you go. Hold the stems together in one hand as you work. Secure the Stems: Once you're happy with the arrangement, use floral tape to secure the stems together just below the blooms. Wrap the tape tightly around the stems, overlapping as you go. Wrap the Bouquet: Cover the floral tape with decorative ribbon, twine, or fabric to conceal it and add a finishing touch to your bouquet. Tie the ribbon in a bow or knot, leaving some excess for a trailing effect if desired. Trim the Stems: Trim the stems to the desired length, cutting them at an angle to promote water absorption. Place the bouquet in a vase filled with fresh water to keep the flowers hydrated until you're ready to present them. Personalize Your Bouquet: Consider adding a handwritten note, a small gift, or other personal touches to make your bouquet even more special for the recipient. By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and customized flower bouquet that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the creative process and the joy of giving something handmade and heartfelt!
