Flower Tutorials Galore!

When you begin to research wedding flower options, you probably spend a lot of time on Pinterest, looking for DIY flower tutorials. Most results for DIY flowers lead you to paper or tissue flower tutorials. The paper flower tutorials are abundant, which are only good if you want to spend 50 hours (small exaggeration) cutting, scrunching paper, taping, wiring, gluing, and fluffing tissues into flowers.

We are problem solvers here at BloomsByTheBox.com, so we compiled over 140 of the best step by step FRESH flower tutorials for weddings and events. From centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres to aisle decor and more. There was a dangerous amount of time spent on Pinterest finding the best tutorials. Here are just a couple of our favorite/ most re-pinned projects! Use them as a reference when you are ready arrange your wholesale flowers. Click on the images to see the full tutorials.

Favorite Centerpiece Tutorial

This flower tutorial is especially helpful because it shows an affordable DIY arrangement. Using spray roses, greenery, and fillers with small plastic vases and miscellaneous small glassware is budget friendly. Small glass vases like above can be found at your local dollar store! Using a tape grid, like in this post is also a great skill to learn!

Favorite Bouquet Tutorial

Peony and dusty miller bouquets are very common among modern brides. We created our very own Do-It-Yourself flower tutorial to provide an example for a budget peony bouquet. The secret is to use dusty miller and one bunch of peonies for the bridal bouquet. Then, use 5 stems and dusty miller for your bridesmaids bouquets. This is a great alternative if you really love peonies but need to stay in budget.

Favorite Garland Tutorial

Floral garland can be pretty tricky to make if you have never had any experience with it before. You may need to practice before diving in head first. In order to start, get some greenery and wire it together to make the base of the garland. Add the flowers after! Click on the photo above to see the full tutorial.

Favorite Boutonniere Tutorial

This is living proof that DIY can be SUPER simple. This is perfect for a couple who needs to make 10-15 boutonniere because it is affordable, easy, and quick to put together. Each boutonniere would take about 2 minute to make! Just grab some nautical ribbon (or something that matches your theme) some rope (or string) and baby’s breath and you are ready to rock n’ roll.

Favorite Floral Accent Tutorial

Floral accents usually take a back seat with wedding DIY. However, there a lot of ways to use these adorable napkin rings. If you have 100 guests and don’t have time to make 100, then you can use them  parents of the bride and groom, the wedding party, and the bride and groom. OR use this very simple idea to make small accents for the ceremony by placing them along the aisle on chairs or pews!
