Selecting the perfect focal flowers and fillers for texture is absolutely essential!

2. Complement focal flowers with smaller blooms like ranunculus, spray roses, or tulips.
3. Add delicate fillers, such as baby’s breath, wax flowers, or astilbe.
4. For added texture, consider incorporating ferns, eucalyptus leaves, or ivy into your small, professional, do-it-yourself wedding bouquet to create an eye-catching and stunning look.

Keep it simple by using your favorite flowers and wrapping the stems in ribbon!
1. Keep things simple; it’s all about small things. Choose flowers that are manageable and not overwhelming.
2. Select a round or slightly cascading shape. Your bouquet should be proportional to your frame.
3. Pick a color scheme that complements your dress and the wedding theme using pastels, whites, or bold hues.
4. Add a touch of sentimental charm to your bouquet with ribbon, lace, or a family heirloom (a brooch or locket).

Here are the simple do-it-yourself steps to follow for creating your bouquet:
1. Prepare the flowers by trimming the stems at an angle and removing excess foliage.
2. Start with the focal flower(s) in the center and layer the smaller blooms and fillers around it.
3. Distribute greenery evenly throughout the bouquet to add texture and volume.
4. Wrap the stems tightly in floral tape and then cover the floral tape with your favorite ribbon.
5. Cut the stems to an even length and add any final touches or embellishments. Keep the bouquet in water for as long as possible before the ceremony.
