Hand-tied bouquet arrangement
Step 1:
Wash the flowers thoroughly and cut the stems diagonally to help them absorb water better. Let the flowers rest for about 2-3 hours in cool water before arranging.
- Step 2:
Arrange the main flowers in the center, add supporting flowers and leaves alternately around. Rotate your hand evenly to create a dome shape or let it fall naturally.
- Step 3:
Use wire or elastic bands to fix the stems. Then, wrap the handle with burlap ribbon or twine.
- Step 4:
You can add small wooden tags, dried flowers, or vintage lace pieces for decoration.
🌿 Note: It’s best to arrange the bouquet close to the wedding day to keep the flowers fresh longer, especially if you choose heat-sensitive flowers like peonies or dried lavender.
