Yellow DIY Bouquet “How-To” Steps:

Step 1- Prep your flowers
To make sure your wedding flowers and flower arrangements are their most beautiful and long-lasting, please carefully follow these guidelines when handling your flowers. If your roses have thorns, de-thorn your roses. Use your hands, knife, or a stem stripper to remove all foliage and thorns from the stems. To remove the thorns by hand, apply slight stress to the sides plus then push them through the stem. If using a paring knife to remove thorns, scrape them from the stem carefully using a sharp floral or partnering knife.

Step 2- Start Putting Your Bouquet Together

Start to build the base of your bouquet. Choose 2 yellow roses, 1 stem of the purple tulips, 1 stem of alstroemeria, and start building from the inside of the bouquet to out.

Step 3- Build Up Your DIY Bouquet

Begin wrapping the bouquet stems 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the flower blooms. Continuously wrap your bouquet with floral tape. Leave between 1-4 inches of stem exposed depending on your personal preference.

Cut the flower stems the same length.

Step 4- Wrap the Bouquet Stems with Ribbon

Use floral tape as your guide and pin the ribbon horizontally to cover the floral tape. Wrap downward until the floral tape is covered and pin to secure the ribbon. (DIY Tip- wrap bouquet stems with two different ribbon colors.) Finish with three decorative bouquet pearl pins.
