Making A Hand-Tied Bouquet

Wedding Roses and spray roses used as hand-tied bouquets are so elegant and easy if you want to "DIY" do it yourself. Here are the easy steps to create this look with your wedding roses and spray roses from www.freshrosepetals.com.

1. Clean foliage and remove the thorns after the stems have been fully hydrated in clean water.
2. Cut the stems down to length desired (approximately 12 inches).
3. Lay the roses side by side on a flat surface.
4. Hold three stems in one hand about 4 inches from the flower (this is the start of your bouquet).
5. Pick up the remaining roses one by one with the other hand and add to your bouquet.
6. Once the bouquet is formed, keep a firm hold of the bouquet in one hand and using the other hand cut the stems to even out the bottom of the bouquet.
7. Secure the flower stems using a large rubber band. To secure the bouquet really well, it is helpful to stretch the band up and down the length of the stems.
8. Add ribbon, fabric or raffia to decorate as desired. In our sample photo above, we have added wedding tulle to lavender and pale pink spray roses and it looks great! They are super easy wedding flowers too!

See, you really can make a hand-tied bouquet yourself. It is easy with wedding flowers from Fresh Petal. You can't go wrong when you have plenty of beautiful fresh flowers in front of you. Have fun, enjoy the process, and the flower's sweet fragrance will help you remember your experience forever.
