How To Make A Wedding Bouquet 💐 Neutral Theme Bridal Bouquet Tutorial

In this flower tutorial we will be making a bridal bouquets for a wedding in a neutral theme. I will be teaching you about all the flowers, foliage and materials we used to construct this and how to make it yourself.
We used:
Mixed eucalyptus inc: cinerea,poplus,gunni and baby blue
Soft ruscus
Playa Blanca Ecuador roses
Agapanthus
Astilbe
Veronica
Eustoma
Spray roses
We use the spiral technique to construct the bouquet using the foliage first then added the flowers.
To bind the bouquet we used oasis waterproof floristry tape then wrapped this in white satin ribbon secured with white pearl pins.
You will also need hardy scissors or secateurs.
And then just watch and learn. You don't have to use everything I have used, you can use any flowers and foliage you can get hold of and use the same principle as me.
Ask any questions in the comment box below.

Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Aw Jem, hi....thank you so, so much for being kind enough to get back to me with such a lot of information - this is great, and has definitely given me something to think about, as I may need some help with this small bouquet, although I really, really want to do it myself, so I will take everything on board what you have said. Can't thank you enough.... Kind regards - Roz xxx

[@haileymolloy9334]

Absolutely stunning I did my first on Friday small hand tied ❤ love the way you created a vase with foliage xx

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Thank you so much! When I first started floristry I found using the foliage as a vase in my hand, I could place the flowers exactly how I wanted and it looked a lot neater! Defo the best technique! I would love to see your hand tied! Xx

[@megankress6925]

So pretty!! Gem, do you ever use anything other than warm water to condition your flowers?? Like Quick Dip?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Thank you!! I don’t no, we don’t really use quick dip. Are you from the states? Is it any good? Xx

[@megankress6925]

I am from the States. I just started out in Floral and saw that a few people use it, so I was just curious! I haven't, though.

[@lynettestrange1031]

Love it you make it look so easy..I always grip mine too tight 😢

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

I used to!! I learned to hold the stems further down and they naturally sit more freely in your hand xx

[@golden-light-healing]

Thank you so much for the explanation. The bouquet is very beautiful! I will definitely make my own now. I know all the bouquets have the ribbon on them now but growing up (back in Germany) I remember, the bouquets were wrapped all the way to the bottom. Likely to avoid the green stems staining the dress. Is that still a thing or outdated?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Thank you for your comment 💕 It’s more popular now to just tie the top. It’s a very traditional way of wrapping to the bottom of the stem. I mean it’s just personal preference, if you feel more comfortable with wrapping all the stems that’s fab. There is not right it wrong way xx

[@golden-light-healing]

@@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091 Thank you!

Hi Lovely! Thank you for the tutorial! I was wondering which size Oasis waterproof tape do you use? The 1/4 or the 1/2 wide? Or does this matter?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hey babes! I use any size, they all work the same. Although I do think you can get a really thin one, try to avoid this as it will take longer xx

[@user-ue7ux7pl3l]

Hi! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Do you post bridal flowers as well? if yes? What is the best way to do it? Maybe a future video

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

I wouldn’t recommend posting bridal flowers as would personally be too stressful. Can’t trust the couriers haha xx

[@susanduong2663]

How long does the flower last? Can I make it a few days in advanced? Should it be stored in the fridge? Does the water need some sort of food for the flower. 😊

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hiya! I would make them no longer than 2 days before the wedding and keep them cool, you don’t necessarily have you use a fridge, I don’t have one, but it depends where you are in the world. I know the states use fridges as it can get super hot in some places. I don’t use flower food, I just make sure the stems are cut at an angle each day with fresh water xx

[@user-yp1nt6sz7k]

Hi Jem, just watched your bridal bouquet tutorial, and it was really, really helpful thank you. I am wanting to make my own, and I want a spring woodland bouquet with blue cornflowers, buttercups, daisies, forget-me-not, muscari and some twisted willow. I'm going to have to make it about 30 hours before my wedding. My questions are: is that too long before I get married, and are all those flowers in bloom at the end of May..?? Thank you so much, and I would really appreciate some tips. Roz. x (I'm using my hubbys you tube page)

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hi Roz! Thank you so much! Ok, let me give you come advice, some of these flowers you have mentioned are wild flowers not cut flowers. So the flowers you can get are: Twisted willow, I get this out my garden lol. Blue cornflower is fine also Muscari, you will need to get a cut flower version from a florist or wholesaler matthiola daisies (cut flower daisies)- these will have to be sourced by a florist or wholesaler For buttercups you can’t use these, there are other flowers you can get that will work that you can get from the garden which will be yellow Ranuculus (they are part of the same family) ladies mantle foliage will give the same vibe. The reason you won’t be able to use the ones above are because the stem isn’t long enough and they will die within a few hours. I recommend not making the bouquet any longer than 24 hours before the day, but just keep an eye on the bouquet and keep it in a cool space and take any foliage or guard petals off. Change the water at least once and cut the stems at an angle when you change the water xx

[@user-yp1nt6sz7k]

​@@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091 Hi Jem...thank you so, so much for replying so quickly with all that wonderful information you have given me. I will definitely take on board what you have suggested with regards to choosing others alternatives for my bouquet. I may have to have some help with this, but I really, really want to do it myself. I actually don't want it to be perfect, just really rustic, and quite 'meadowy' so I will probably be alright. Thank you so much Jem, that's just great....regards - Roz. xxx

[@jillsheppard7341]

Hi jems. Beautiful. Just a question. On funeral work, could u please tell me about the lettering on ribbons please. Jill

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hi Jill! I use a cricut machine to print out vinyl stickers the stick them to poly ribbon. You can also get the letter vinyls already cut from a wholesaler or online xxx

[@peggyoneill279]

I'm having trouble mastering the spiral...any tips

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hiya! Sure I can help. Always make sure the stems are at an angles and continue the same direction with every stem or they will sit straight and the stems will snap. Try holding your hand further down the Stem, it’s easier to spiral xxx

[@aishahabdulaziz8160]

Butterflies

[@lindaharper4624]

Hi Gem , what is the tape called that you wrap around the bouquet .

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Waterproof floristry tape xx

[@lindaharper4624]

Thankyou x

[@katherineyoung1094]

How much would you charge for something like this?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hi Katherine! This size I charge £120 xx

[@user-be6vp5ns3w]

Ugh how do you keep them fresh for the next day? I feel like mines die by the time the wedding starts

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Oh really! I sometimes if I have a big wedding start making the bouquets two days before. What I do I cut a square of cellophane, but it in a floristry bag and fill it high enough for all the stems to drink and keep it in a cool space. The more compact the bouquet the better xx

[@nancyvonesh2674]

Would this keep for 2 days?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hiya! Yes if you keep it in water and a cool room, just make sure the flowers are looking fresh and no bruising or marks before you give it to the bride xx

[@Clickiefish5971]

Hi, at what point do I throw in the flower food sachets? I need to keep my flowers looking good for 3 days before my wedding... so scared they droop and die.

[@sherrymullenix387]

Is it ok to do the bouquet 3 days before the wedding?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

It is yes, as long as you keep it hydrated and cool and check on it. It’s all good xx
