How To Make An Exotic Shower Bridal Bouquet

[@lynnemcnab3093]

Welcome back! John and Janos I love this. Thanks to you, I did my first wedding!! My son got married in a provincial park on Lake Ontario, which was really lovely. I brought a bucket of flowers that were sold at the end of laneways of farms and used them for my new daughter-in-law's bouquet and my son's boutoniere. They wanted everything to be natuural. My new daughter-in-law is an artist, very fond of colour, so I used my knowledge of spiraling learned from my teacher, John, and made a handle of lace for both--my son's feature flower was a snapdragon! Thank you so much for making me confident enough--thankfully my debut was an easy one! So her bouquet was more like this one than the traditional floral style, I guess you really are my teacher!

😊 I’m so glad to hear everything went well, and thank you for your kind feedback. I would love to see some pictures ( [e-mail] ) and it sounds like the perfect selection for the bride and the setting. Mixed farm flower buckets can have a really exciting mix - and it’s good to be local and sustainable. Hope you make more designs - as you say just try it, be confident and see what happens! 😀🌼

This man is truly the master of the artful and the original!! Love to watch all his demonstrations!

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you so much 😊 😀👋

I'm not gonna lie...I had to fast forward a few times because I was just dying to see the end result! And I kept thinking of the word "funky" and then you said the same word! That last piece you put in for movement and used glue on really made it. L❤VE it, John. You are soooooo creative!

[@FlowerJoos]

😊 Thank you - That’s good feedback to hear you zoomed forward! 😀🌼

[@karenbartnett8312]

Lovely John. Beautiful for a beach wedding. ❤

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 that’s a perfect setting!

[@carolsoutar4719]

That looks different but looks great.Thanks John.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊🌼

[@LinaBooC-tg8ou]

Such amazing greenery. Definitely for a bold and artistic bride.

[@FlowerJoos]

We need more brides to be bold and artistic - so many play safe with their choice! 🌼

Welcome back- hope you got enough rest during your break! Super weird but super cool bouquet, very fun

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 yes it was good to have a bit of a break. Glad you like the design 😀🌼

[@stepps511]

Wonderful to see you back, John! That is an unusual holder for the bouquet for sure! Your creativity come to the fore with this bouquet. Nicely done!

[@FlowerJoos]

It’s good to be back 😀 the cone is actually very comfortable to carry, and elegant as well with a drop style bouquet. Hope you are well 🌼👋

[@lindakhoyan1676]

Your artistry never ceases to amaze me. I learn so much from watching you. The bouquet is very "funky" !!

[@fivenine2]

Looks fantastic, I have often wondered what to do with those sisal holders, thank you

[@FlowerJoos]

😀 Thank you

[@hamda84]

This is a work that I love very much, and a very accurate work. Greetings to you from Egypt, you are really creative

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 hello to you in beautiful Egypt!

[@ΣτέλλαΜιτούλη]

Amazing job! I could never imagine a bouquet like that! I am astonished of what you created!

Thank you 😊 🌼

[@patmckelley-mckelley8413]

Impressive!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@patmckelley-mckelley8413 😊 Thank you

[@linuslinus1024]

Fabulously Amazing!! I saw you using rhipsalis and don't they have fine thorns? My plant dose and gets me every time.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 this one doesn’t - which is better for a bridal design! I love these plants 🌱

[@ИринаМаксимова-и1ф]

На маленьком островке разместить столько растений. Вы мастер!

[@FlowerJoos]

😊 большое спасибо!

[@BenjaminLinus-f1v]

Interneting design and I like it.

[@Nelson-ny7ms]

Another level of beauty ❤

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊

[@patmckelley-mckelley8413]

Gorgeous ❤

[@FlowerJoos]

❤️😊

[@byvike]

Love this little cutie, good for a person who’s size is like mine but you need to put more flowers in it for someone who’s bigger then me. Just a thought…

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 it can be altered to suit - and also good for a simple registry wedding, something special but not over the top. 😊

[@margaretscard-m4x]

I always use cold glue on the stem & whilst it doesn’t set it creates a stickier surface so helps stems stay secure. Mags the gilded lily Lancashire ❤

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you Mags! 😊 so that’s into the wet foam as well?

[@margaretscard-m4x]

@@FlowerJoos yes - been using this method for 20 years. I wire in the long stems & run a thin line of glue along the stem not on the stem end so the stem can still take up water … works very well 👍

[@judithmontesdeocazerpa1266]

🙋🏼‍♀️ 😊 Beautiful work John!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Very very original I love it, thanks for sharing!!! 😊🐯🪷

[@FlowerJoos]

🌼🌼🌼 Thank you so much 😀🌸 Have a lovely week 🌼🍃🍂🌼🍁

[@judithmontesdeocazerpa1266]

@@FlowerJoos you too 😊🌻☀️

[@margaretscard]

Ohhh never expected to get a reply :-) but yes, been making wedding bouquets for 20 years & if a cascade / shower, I'd wet the oasis holder maybe Tuesday for a Saturday wedding (to ensure some drying out) & wire the longest lengths as you do through the foam & loop back but for the shorter stems a thin line of cold glue on the stem edge (not the end so as not to "bung" up the end) & it works a treat - wait until the cold glue starts to go opaque & in you go stays very secure :-)

[@FlowerJoos]

Fantastic 😀 thanks for sharing your tip - it’s good to have different approaches up our sleeves 😀 even for hand-tied bouquets I find I do them in a couple of different ways rather than just one way all the time 🌼

[@designprosb]

Really great to see you. Any chance that youve compiled a blueprint ruffdraft for your book ?

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 not yet - but what style of book - basics, coffee table? One book only would have to cover a lot of content. I’m intrigued what would appeal to people.

[@lynnemcnab3093]

What would appeal to me is instructional sketches and then beautiful photographs. A section on the basics and then a section on "enjoying the flowers, and getting creative" I think both elements--and include your personality.@@FlowerJoos

[@FlowerJoos]

@@lynnemcnab3093 ❤️ Thank you Lynne!

[@lorikrusenstjerna8546]

Needed one more rose at the bottom

[@FlowerJoos]

The roses were so big - but it would take more flowers for sure 😀🌼

[@isabelmyosotis1588]

I like the modernity of the bouquet but I do not get the long holder… it seems very long. Having seen you at a demonstration in Aberdeen a number of years ago I know you are tall!! Good to see a different design though.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 it was long - I did think of shortening it but it wasn’t easily changed. You are right though - maybe our designs reflect us all a little - tall, or short, or colourful etc? 😀

[@linuslinus1024]

I was making an arrangement today and I was looking at my rhipsalis and used canna leaves instead. Talk about going into a completely different direction.

[@judylorbek1730]

Hi John can u please post more videos ❤

[@FlowerJoos]

There is a new video every week 😀🌼

[@joyceflowershed]

Kermit chrys look lovely but they shatter so easy also i never soak my holder i wire in trailing greenery and flowers then glue in top flowers, let bouquet sit for a wee while thrn give it a good spray seems to work ok.😂😂

[@FlowerJoos]

They can shatter - but the pop of green is a nice touch. That’s interesting your method, but the glue would stop the flowers accessing the water source? With a bridal bouquet it’s all about security though, and it just needs to last the day 😀🌼

[@joyceflowershed]

@FlowerJoos agree I thought this also but so far beern ok although will say i usually do all wired for shower bouquets. Your bouquet was gorgeous by the way 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁
