Ed. Note: Happily, one of the most elegant and popular choices for a bridal bouquet \u2014 the hand-tied variety \u2014 is also the easiest to master. With a couple of trial runs, you\u2019ll soon learn to make your own floral masterpieces for yourself and your bridesmaids \u2026 while saving a ton of money.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

For a sleek, contemporary look, use only one style of flower (red roses are among the most popular, as are a mixture of red and white roses or colored calla lilies<\/a>), with or without a finishing collar of leaves or lace. For a more eclectic style, whip up a mixed bouquet with a contemporary edge, such as green mums and arched bear grass. For an unforgettable flower girl or junior bridesmaid bouquet, use matching rosebuds.<\/em><\/p>\n

To make this type of bouquet, you use a technique where you hold the flower and foliage stems in one hand, and add the other stems in a spiral fashion using your other hand \u2014 criss-crossing the stems at the one point, and binding them in position with string. A ribbon bow with long tails completes your bouquet.<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
