Prepare the flowers

Start with peeling the flowers from unattractive leaves and those uncomfortable thorns; after this, you should fill a sink with water and place the stems in this water as to cut their bottom with about 2 inches. After this, make sure that you nourish the flowers and place them in a bucket that is filled halfway with water.

Gather the flowers

In order to see whether or not the bridal bouquet suits you, make sure you stand in front of the mirror with the arrangement in your hands and so, visualize the moment you go in front of the altar with the bridal bouquet in hands.

Fix the flowers in the bouquet

This procedure involves the use of floral tape and rubber band in such a way as to end up with the proper bridal bouquet. Use, if it’s necessary, multiple such tapes and make sure that the flower arrangement is tight and no flower will be missed.
