Yay! I am so glad you are enjoying them. Congrats on the upcoming wedding, so exciting!

[@aimeemhawkins]

This is beautiful and literally what I want my bouquet to look like 😻 I might just have to do Sola flowers for my wedding now

[@OhYoureLovely]

That's so exciting I am glad it inspired you!

[@kath132]

This is beautiful!!!! This would be perfect for my wedding in October!

[@OhYoureLovely]

I am loving the color story, so pretty. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

[@kath132]

Oh Youre Lovely thank you!

[@karendevasquez3246]

I was going to buy my bouquet, but I'm really crafty now I have never done this but thanks to you Im going to give it a try 😁 wish me luck and thanks again I love your all of your videos

[@OhYoureLovely]

That makes me so happy! You've got this!!!

[@bobbiehanson5481]

I LOVE this color combo!!!! Thanks for showing us the whole process start to finish on making this bouquet! I hope the bride loves it too!

[@colleenkearns2810]

Thank you so much for the greenery info! My daughter is using the steel blue and burgundy colors, so the greenery you used, I believe would be excellent! I’m glad her wedding isn’t till November, lots of work to do! You rock! These tutorials will really help me! Looking forward to more!

[@OhYoureLovely]

Thank you that means so much!!😍

[@sherriabbott9058]

Hi, Stephanie! I hope I spelled that right. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos. I'm getting married this coming May and am using sola flowers for my wedding... even though I have ZERO floral arrangement abilities. Would you consider doing a video where you slow down and explain your thought process behind bouquet flower placements, please?

[@OhYoureLovely]

Hi Sherri! Thank you so much for your comment. You might want to check out the latest tutorial that just went up. It helps create a bouquet without over thinking the placement of flowers or greenery. It might be helpful for just playing around at first to get you ready to make your own bouquet.

[@sherriabbott9058]

@@OhYoureLovely Thank you so much! Your videos are absolutely priceless! 😊

[@janetnelson4500]

I'm so enjoying the wedding tutorials...the bouquet is so beautiful...thanks so much

I am glad you are enjoying the series Janet!

[@wellnesswize]

you are amazing! i wish you could arrange mine. I'm going to have to watch EVERY ONE of your videos

[@OhYoureLovely]

You can do it!

[@moreganlaughery6009]

What is the greenery you used? I absolutely love the greenery you used and would love to use the same ones for my own bouquets.

[@cherylbritton8270]

I’m doing a non traditional wedding. Blacks grays and purples The greenery isn’t exactly green. Sugestions?

[@carliescott6137]

I really wish I could order this bouquet!

[@elisabutler9596]

Can you do a Sola wood flower ring bouquet. I am making those for my wedding in March. Trying to find an easy way to do it.

[@OhYoureLovely]

Elisa if you want to message our fb page with an inspo picture I can take a look and see if I could create a tutorial for you. Another great resource is our facebook group: Put a Flower on it we might be able to have the community help give you some tips/tricks

[@OhYoureLovely]

Here is a hoop bouquet tutorial we just uploaded recently kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5WZk2OkerWHaMU

[@shannontaylor2110]

How do you decide how many flowers to dye in each color? and if I am making boquets for myself and 5 bridesmaids, how many flowers should i do?

[@OhYoureLovely]

I honestly winged the number of flowers I dyed which I know isnt helpful. I normally try and have extra paint just in case I need to dye more flowers for a project. Bridal bouquet I used between 30-40 flowers, bridesmaids 20-30 typically I use a mix of flower sizes a majority would be 2/2.5 inch flowers and then sprinkle in some tiny flowers for filler and big flowers for impact. I hope that helps a little!

[@SakuraKenji]

Is there something else besides broom husks as bouquet grass? I dont like the look of the yellow on the bouquets. I'm looking for ideas for my bouquets for next year. Thanks in advance and I love your tutorials!

[@OhYoureLovely]

You could wrap the whole handle in ribbon or twine. You can collect a bunch of other greenery stems and surround the floral wires with the faux stem and then partially wrap with ribbon or twine. You can also look into bouquet grass, the one thing to note with this is you will want to test it out first, sometimes dyed bouquet grass, in particular, will have the dye transfer onto your hands/dress so something to be aware of if you go that route. I hope that gives you some ideas on what you can do!

[@SakuraKenji]

@@OhYoureLovely Thank you so much! I will look into it and yeah I wouldn't want dye to get onto my hands. I'm new to sola so I'm trying to learn my best!

[@rachaeltisdell4276]

Omg I love this it's stunning, definitely gonna try it for my bouquet, the greenery is that real or fake? Where did you get it from?

[@OhYoureLovely]

Hi! All the greenery is artificial and most of it can be found in our shop here: ohyourelovely.com/collections/greenery-filler

[@djmindy]

Omg... so happy you're doing a video with these flowers was thinking of using these instead of real flowers so I can save them forever. Love your frames where did you get your glasses??

[@OhYoureLovely]

I honestly cant remember the site anymore but I get all of my glasses online.

[@princesbesada3252]

Hi. Love your videos! ❤ Do you have a tutorial on how to make different sola wood flowers?

[@OhYoureLovely]

Not yet!

[@sashagreenly.realtor]

The colors for my wedding are lilac and sage so this is perfect. However, I would like something more of a cascading bouquet for myself, the bride and then these that you are making in this video more for the bridesmaid. I would love to know the cost for making this particular bouquet. I'm also wondering were these ordered as is, already dyed or did you have to dye them?

[@OhYoureLovely]

We sell the sola wood flowers typically raw (cream and bark) but do have some sets that are dyed assortments but right now we dont have a purple set that would work. You can check out all our flowers here: www.ohyourelovely.com and if you place an order feel free to use the code: KZbin30 to get 30% off one order.

[@Shaelynnblaha]

I absolutely love this bouquet! I'm going to make mine for my wedding like this series just in different colors. What are the names of the flowers you used off the site? Thank you!!

[@OhYoureLovely]

Here you go here is a bit of a better breakdown you can also check out the following tutorial that shows the flowers and the paints/dyes Flowers used: American Beauty Mature Peony Hydrangea Blanche Tea Roses Rosa cottage rose kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3XXY319j79ngck

[@harliefuqua1122]

Could you show how to make bouquets with just the flowers and maybe baby's breath as the fillers? I'm planning on using sola wood flowers for my wedding and idealy I want to make the bouquets with carnations, aroura roses, and cotton bolls as my "filler". Thank you!!

[@OhYoureLovely]

This might be helpful but instead of when I slide in pieces of greenery you could put in baby's breath kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJbdqq1jpMmGq68

[@maribethcastroparada9676]

What is that big pink flower in the bouquet? Do you have that in your store? So lovely!

[@OhYoureLovely]

I think the one you are asking about is our largest cottage rose, it's currently out of stock but it will be back if you want to sign up for notifications on our site. ohyourelovely.com/collections/luxe-sola-wood-flowers/products/dusty-rose-sola-bali-wood-flowers-qty-5

[@ecollins1122]

What greenery would you use if your colors are Navy, burgundy, and yellow (sunflowers)?

[@OhYoureLovely]

I really love using our Italian ruscus ohyourelovely.com/products/italian-ruscus-stem-artificial-greenery-14-inches#

[@erikafilbert5359]

What kind of flowers were used and how many?

[@justinaorwick3071]

If you use a foam bouquet ball thing, do you clip the stems? How many stems should I have?

[@OhYoureLovely]

if you are using a bouquet holder with foam yes you will want to cut the stems to fit properly into the foam. I have only ever made a cascade bouquet using a bouquet holder and it was a lot of greenery. It will depend on the style of the bouquet for how many stems are needed as well as how full you want it. .

[@kellyhargrove1235]

If we don’t have enough egg cartons what can we use to dry them on

[@OhYoureLovely]

I have seen people use: cookie wire racks, puppy pads, and parchment paper for a few ideas

[@kellyhargrove1235]

@@OhYoureLovely okay I just laid mine on plastic wrap untill the wedding how often should I spray them with water and glycerin

[@skyewilliams9343]

I’m trying to order from your website, I have a question about how much greenery to purchase for 10 small/medium-ish bouquets? Is the greenery one stem per purchase or is it a bundle?

[@OhYoureLovely]

Hi Skye. The product listing picture shows exactly what you will receive if you order a quantity of one. Hope that helps!

[@Ls3462]

Do you make bouquets to sell or simply just products to DIY?

[@OhYoureLovely]

We are craft supply company. We dont sell finished pieces normally. This particular bouquet I made for a member of our team.

[@cmp019]

What size flowers did you use?

[@OhYoureLovely]

Primarily 2-3" flowers and then little bunches of hydrangeas I created out of three single hydrangea blooms

[@mercedeslou22]

Could you make a ring bouquet ?!

[@OhYoureLovely]

We just uploaded a hoop bouquet last week! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5WZk2OkerWHaMU

[@lillyv9247]

[@OhYoureLovely]

Yes I have this is more of a quick "cheat" cascade but still turns out super pretty! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGPcZWCZdsedq8U

[@cbar3487]

You mentioned the name of the first greenery but is there anyway you can let us know the other 3 greenery’s you used?

[@OhYoureLovely]

The other two I believe I got at hobby lobby, one is a faux seeded eucalyptus and the other was just another greenery that went along well with the color story

[@jlizzy1105]

Where is the greenery from?

[@OhYoureLovely]

It was a mixture of greenery we carry along with a few pieces I found at other craft stores.

[@ashleighmccullough5316]

Is the Italian ruscus your 14 in or 21in size?

[@OhYoureLovely]

I used the 14"

[@donnajackson-hayes1268]

What is the name of the greenery that you used in this bridal bouquet?

[@OhYoureLovely]

at about the 2:00 mark I talk a little bit about the greenery the ruscus we carry in our shop. the rest of the greenery I believe I found at hobby lobby

[@lckk50]

How do you make a cascading bouquet?

[@OhYoureLovely]

Here are two videos we did making a cascade bouquet, I have yet to do a true free form cascade but it is coming soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZzcn413pJKbrbs and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGPcZWCZdsedq8U

[@whitneysaylor5528]

When making the bouquets do you have a recommendation on how many types of flowers to work in or as long as they are in the color palette it’s fine???! I have 200 flowers and am a little overwhelmed on where to start any guidance would be great. Thanks!

[@swagergm]

How many types of greenery do you need for a bouquet?

[@OhYoureLovely]

It's truly a personal preference I like to add a few different types for visual interest but I have seen plenty of bouquets with just one type of greenery. For this bouquet, I used 4 different types of greenery and one additional pop of color with a filler.

[@swagergm]

@@OhYoureLovely thank you for your expert advice. Enjoying your videos.

[@lisafix9092]

What did you use to trim the wire stems?

[@OhYoureLovely]

I have used for 2 years now Crescent 8" Pro Series Diagonal Compound Action Dual Material Cutting Pliers - PS5429C and love them

[@KTCatfight]

What are the names of the different greenery pieces you're using?

[@OhYoureLovely]

The only greenery that came from our shop is the Italian ruscus the rest were found at either Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or At Home

Where do you get your greenery?

[@OhYoureLovely]

We carry some greenery at our shop www.ohyourelovely.com and I also get greenery from Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Joanns, and At Home mainly
