Useful Ideas On Making Own Wedding Rose Bouquets

By Brittney Swanson


It is cheaper to make your own wedding rose bouquets compared to hiring a professional florist. This is not a hard task, yet you end up creating an elegant floral arrangement for your big day. Besides, some couples may spend a lot of their money on this important inclusion in their marriage ceremony. Cut down on cost by choosing to prepare your own flowers using the following tips.

Always remember that flowers are delicate and need proper care if they are to survive throughout the wedding day. A good idea is to get them a few days before the ceremony, preferably on the eve of the event. However, they should be ordered in advance to avoid a last-minute rush. Ensure they are transported properly to the venue to minimize damages.

It is necessary to store them safely in a room with moderate temperatures so that they do not wither quickly once exposed to sun during the event. This is very useful especially for those people who have to collect the blossoms a few days before the ceremony. Cut off the stems evenly a few inches above the bottom to get good bunches for the day. Plucking is necessary to remove thorns which may harm those handling. In addition, look for damaged and guard petals to remove them as they will make the bouquet appear not so good. Always use a sharp garden clipper to avoid bending the roses during this exercise.

After preparing the different pieces, you can go on and tie in bundles. Start with around five pieces to give the bundle a firm support. A floral wire wrapped with a tape to enhance its looks is used for tying.

You can also enhance appearance by adding green leaves around the bouquet. However, make sure they do not extend too high as they could cover the flowers. For this reason, you can choose to place them around the base, where they will not cause any form of distraction. Find someone to assist you when putting the leaves around the bunch so that none of the pieces fall apart.

Another importance of the greenery is that it covers stem especially after removing the petals and other unwanted parts. Some of the good choices of greenery include galaxy and Aspidistra leaves. Lilies of the valley also enhance the appearance of the bouquet especially if put between the flowers. All you need is to put the extra leaves beneath the flower buds.

Once through, ensure to keep the bunches in water ready for use in your wedding. In some cases, it may be necessary to keep them refrigerated under moderate temperatures. However, when plucking take care of the stem not to pluck a lot of skin. This is because roses take water in from the bottom of the stem via the skin.

Roses are in no doubt a legendary symbol of love. Everyone would want to include them in their marriage ceremony. Besides, they are beautiful and come in a variety of colors to suit different wedding themes. However, sometimes they can be expensive and thus one has to find other ways of meeting their desired design for the big day. By applying the above tips on making wedding rose bouquets a couple can achieve their dream celebration at a cheap price.
