What length do you start with for a bouquet of that size?

[@embloome]

Hello! Thank you for your question. 😊 I assume you're asking about the length of the flower stems for the bouquet. Typically, I use stems that are around 8 to 10 inches long, although some can be longer, reaching up to 30 inches. When it comes to stems with multiple branches or flowers, I usually cut them into individual usable pieces. I then extend their length using additional stems I have on hand or by using 2mm-diameter wire to achieve a workable length. I’ve demonstrated this process in my video titled "How to Join & Lengthen Silk Flower Stems Before Making Bouquets and Arrangements," which you can find here👉🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4jcZ6p6aLRkZ8U Sometimes, I simply pop the flower heads off and attach them to separate empty stems that I purchase. You can see this technique in the video at around the 05:05 mark. The empty stems I use are approximately 13 inches long, and I've included a link to "Floral Wire Stem with Leaves For Flower Heads" in the video description for your convenience. 😉 For reference, the diameter of the bouquet I created in the video is approximately 11 inches. I hope this answers your question! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

So pretty! Where did you get the flowers from?

[@embloome]

Thanks for the sweet comment, Dania. I get my silk flowers from the Chinese local version of Aliexpress (ˊ•͈ ◡ •͈ˋ)
