How to Make a Bouquet

To craft the perfect bouquet for a wedding or anniversary, begin by selecting a combination of cut flowers you think work well. Consider colour compatibility as well as how different petal shapes look together, then prepare your flowers by removing the thorns and leaves from the stem using our microsnips or a thorn remover. Cut the stems at an angle and place the flowers in a vase for hydration before arranging.

When arranging your bouquet, work out from the centre. Try to place your strongest or brightest flowers in the middle and surround them with supporting flowers, ensuring variation in height and shape for a natural aesthetic. For fullness and extra colour, also consider adding greenery.

Once you’re pleased with the arrangement, bind your bouquet using floral tape, wire, or a ribbon. Ensure the stems are secured tightly and won’t slip from their position. For a wedding bouquet, consider an extra ribbon compatible with the colour scheme of the big day.

How long does a bouquet of flowers last?

With appropriate care, a DIY flower bouquet can last for between 5 and 10 days. For optimal results, keep your bouquet cool and away from direct sunlight, changing its water every day or so. Prior to building your bouquet, also consider using long-lasting flowers such as chrysanthemums or sunflowers.

How to Make a
Flower Arrangement

To make a fresh cut flower arrangement, follow the same preliminary steps as when making a bouquet. Select a nice blend of flowers that vary in colour and shape, remove thorns and leaves on the stem, and select your favourite flowers as the centre of your arrangement and work outwards.

Flower arrangements do, however, require some special considerations. You must select a vessel that accommodates your arrangement, both in terms of its height and weight, but also its different colours and shapes. Be sure to add sufficient greenery and supporting flowers for a natural look, and regularly change the water to keep your arrangement fresh for as long as possible.
