Making Your Own Hand Bouquet


A hand bouquet is an important part of your wedding event. But face it, having several hand bouquets, one for you and one for each of your brides maids, can get expensive very quickly. An alternative to having live flowers is to use a silk flower bouquet, which can be quite affordable. You should face the fact, however, that a silk flower bouquet does not have the same appeal or style that a live flower bouquet does. However, if you have a limited budget, you don't have to go with silk flowers, you just have to be creative and make your own hand bouquet out of live flowers that you purchase.

Much of the cost associated with a hand bouquet is due to how difficult it is to actually create a bouquet, not the cost of the flowers. The flowers in a hand bouquet are artfully arranged, wrapped and tied with precision. The end result of a professional arranged bouquet can be breathtaking, and many people take years to properly learn this skill. However, this does not mean that you can't arrange your own bouquets. It is just that you need to use care and be a bit creative during the process as well.

If you aren't as creative as you would like to be, a simple way to create your own elegant hand bouquet is to use a small amount of large flowers, such as Gerber Daisy's, to create your bouquet. Three or four large flowers can look like a lot more than they are and can create a stunning look. What's more, you don't have to know anything about arranging flowers, simply tie the stems together with a lovely ribbon and you are good to go. This is a great way to save money on your wedding bouquet and still create the impact that you want with the bouquet.

If you want to go with a large grouping of flowers then you will want to create a list of how the flowers are to be arranged in the hand bouquet. This ensures that there is continuity between the bouquets. If you are enlisting the help of others (always a good idea), then you will definitely want to make sure they follow your design for the flowers. Use the Internet to get ideas for flower grouping and wrapping and tying the flowers as well. You don't want them falling to pieces in the wedding.

While creating your own flower bouquets can be a bit stressful, it will save you money. Additionally, when creating your own bouquets, you will ensure that you are getting exactly what you want.
