Dont know if you are doing bouquets or table arrangements. If they are bouquets get bouquet holders from Michaels or Walmart..put greenery around the back first, then main flowers..roses or carns, then fill in with babies breath. For table arrangements put oasis (water holding foam type )in container, again put greens in first, then major flowers in a wagon wheel type pattern, then fill in with babies breath or greens or something small
Reply:I put flowers together for two weddings. It depends on what you are looking for. I am not a crafty person but one wedding I was in and I was just trying to get the bride not to have a breakdown. The other was my best friend%26#039;s wedding and I helped her sister in law (who was a florist). But I did put together the bouquet.





First wedding...unopened roses. white and red. We put five white roses in the middle and surrounded it with red roses...we used wire and wound each one together. Then we used wide white and red ribbon to cover the outside wire and curled it with the scissor. We tied to together the white roses first and then the read onto the outside until we had three rings around. That is a very classy look.





Second wedding. Bride ordered flowers...florist went out of business two days before wedding and would not do wedding (actually I think they went bankrupt). Did give us whatever in stock that we wanted. We filled up two buckets of flowers. We had carnations, baby%26#039;s breath, roses, etc. Her bridesmaids dresses were dark pink for the maid of honor and light pink for everyone else. We actually went to the dress store and asked them for extra fabric from the dresses (I had to order a size 16 for my chest but my skirt size is 8) we had a lot of fabric from my skirt (plus they took off three four inches from the bottom). Friend%26#039;s Mom sewed little flower pouches and glued white lace on the outside edges and everything was beatiful. I wish I had pictures.





You can do anything as long as it goes with the event. If it is early day casual, you might want to have litte baskets or just hand tied ribbons on flowers. If it is formal, you want it to be more uniform and tighter. Just look in the bridal magazines and see what you like.

Reply:Well it depends on the color of the wedding and maybe you should go with the color of the brides mades dresses and throe in some lighter colors of the origional color.Or you could maybe go to a person who plants flowers and create gardenings and ask them whatwould go right.make up
