How to make a traditional cascade bouquet - Part 1

[@lisabenedict2615]

Thank you soooo much for your video part 1 and 2. This is the only video I have found that I can actually follow foraking the cascading bouquet.

[@ritanavarre9326]

I just wanted to say Thank you with all my heart because of you both I was able to create my daughters beautiful bridal bouquet! I was hoping to send a picture but not quite sure how to do it ! Again Thank you

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobbiehanson5481]

Looking forward to part two!!

Both bouquets are beautiful! Would it be possible to list the greenery that was used?

[@debrasaas3939]

Can you please list the greenery because you don’t mention what you used for some of them, especially the floppy one

[@TheMrsmonicajones]

Good video, very informative

[@OhYoureLovely]

Glad you liked it

So glad these videos are being made! I'm 'diy'ing my wedding in January with Sola flowers, but at the moment I'm having such a difficult time finding the bouquet holders. Any one have ideas on where to find them? I wasn't going to use them, but when I tried making a cascade by just holding everything... it didn't turn out so well.

I have only found the rounded top bouquet holders not the angled ones at hobby lobby

[@kaleytongate1948]

Amazon has some for cheap too!

Question on the foam. Does it have to be that hard craft foam? Or can it be the dry floral foam that has the same texture of the wet foam but it’s specifically for faux and preserved greenery?

Wedding flowers arranged

I would take some spaghnum moss and very lightly cover the styrofoam before adding the greenery. Personal preference, but I like the finished look when I do this.

Hi can you use the same technique with fresh greenery and flowers? Will the glue work the same way with fresh flowers? Really enjoying watching your video.

[@OhYoureLovely]

If you are using fresh you will want to use wet foam to keep the flowers looking fresh longer. It is probably a similar processes creating the shape but I would search out some more tutorials to give you some more inspo.

I have a bride that wants a large cascade bouquet BUT doesn’t want much greenery. And suggestions on what to use as an alternative? She likes sunflowers and sapphire roses.

[@PurpleBird1234]

Something that could possibly work is building the rounded top portion with big focal flowers, and maybe for the tapered portion, something long and flowy like pampas grass, or even really drapey amaranth stems, or wisteria. I'm no expert, I just thought maybe that could help! Good luck and best wishes to the couple!

what is your opinion on using part live part artificial. I am getting about 95% false flowers. I am wanting to get cosmos but where I bought all my other stuff from was out of stock and I can't find them anywhere with cheap or free shipping. So I may have to get some live ones locally to save shipping. but primarily greenery. I have a few beautiful climbing/viney type plants in my garden with lush thick waxy leaves, leaves remind me of ficus. one is a flowering one, one isn't can I get away with using live and artificial? would I do the wet bouquet holder? I will try find some greenery in local cheapy stores if I really shouldn't go live and artificial

[@OhYoureLovely]

you can use a mixture of fresh and artificial. Here is a tutorial I made doing just that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emHVpZ2CaMujoJY

Where can i find the angled bouvquet holder? I cant find one anywhere and you don’t sell them either

[@OhYoureLovely]

I have had some luck finding them randomly at various craft stores we havent been able to find a supplier in order to bring them back on our site unfortunately

[@johnston.erin.m]

I can't seem to find a bouquet holder with "craft foam." I've seen ones listed on Amazon with styrofoam--will this work? I know not to use wet foam, but I'm wondering if styrofoam would be okay. Alternatively, if anyone has a good idea of where I can look for a bouquet holder like these with craft foam, I would really appreciate it! Amazon and Michaels seem to have let me down so far...

[@jessicaperu4380]

I couldn’t find one either so decided to just go with the regular one and angle it

[@catherineterrell4888]

you took to darn long
