How To Make A Great Bouquet EVERYTIME!!!

[@paulagardner3218]

You put flowers together and people pay money to buy them. I believe that makes you a professional. I love your bouquets and I love your videos. Y'all work so hard and I wish you ever more success.

[@donnacochran3335]

I never realized how much I appreciate your flower farm until now. I love seeing you make bouquet's from your garden, so many beautiful colors and textures. You are SO talented. I can't believe you took grocery store flowers and made something beautiful out of them!❤️

[@tinaholbrook9719]

😲 That second bouquet! I want it so bad!!!! So beautiful! ❤❤❤❤

[@christinast6346]

I am so thankful for this video. I have been so excited to plant my first cut flower garden, buying seeds like I’m a large scale farmer or something hahaha up until this video I hadn’t considered that I have never done this before…I realized i could be in my backyard with tons to choose from and not know where to start as far and cutting and actually making the bouquets. Thank you for breaking it all down for me. Your an amazing teacher! I know your super busy but have you considered offering online course? Anyways love watching your videos and your your content 🌻 -Team Flowers

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I don't think we are at a place to get online courses together, but its something to consider as a winter job next year. The first time I made a bouquet, I had to do a Google search to figure out what to do, lol. I haven't done a crazy amount of research on actual florist tricks, mostly just how to make bouquets, but there are lots of really help simple videos on KZbin. You can make things complicated, but I think just focusing on simple mechanics, and not feeling too intimidated by need to copy someone else's style, is the base that everyone needs to confidently make a great bouquet

[@otterluv4941]

This is by far the best bouquet tutorial I’ve seen! Thank you so much for putting in the time and $ to make it ❤

[@barryhenson7232]

Trained or not your videos are so informative easy to follow, thank you. Jan

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks!

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

It's been wonderful watching your skill and confidence grow at your ability to make your farm a success. You are succeeding because you keep analyzing what worked and what didn't and why. Congratulations for what you have already done and your plans for the upcoming year.

[@LizZorab]

How did I miss this in March? I really enjoyed this video, thank you!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Lol, everyone missed this. KZbin didn't push it at all. But now we have it to reference when someone asks how to make the bouquets

[@katieknoke3356]

I watched this ages ago before I followed you and just rewatched it. I remember finding it really helpful but now that I “know you” I love it even more. Thank you so much for all you’re helpful content💚

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Everything looks so easy when someone with lots of experience does it:)))

[@bohemiangardensandgourdfar8812]

Serina wears many hats, gardener and farmer, artist, business woman, instructor, inspirational speaker and motivator, wife and mother (and let's not forget the sun hat and vacation hats!) She wears them all very well and with her own style and flair! Today's video is one more feather in your cap lady!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Hats are very important, lol

[@lauras5312]

your true talent, is your honest giving through sharing. ❤ blessed❤

[@Booo858]

Such a helpful video! I'm in zone 3 Alberta and I'm making a huge cut flower garden this year because of you two!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

That's so fun!

[@tudorpottudorpot8423]

Amazing, such a difference from your early days. You teach very well. Freda

[@silverwillow9348]

This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your joy. God bless.

[@naturesheartgardening7456]

Very very beautiful flower bouquet thanks for sharing very informative video 🤩💯🤩

[@lindasowash7054]

absolutely love the bouquets. So glad I found your channel. I’m a first year flower farmer and one of the best tips I’ve learned from you is don’t buy mixes. (Too late now). Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

[@patriciajacques7653]

Thank you so much for this. I’m just getting into the world of flowers, when I realized last year I needed more pollinators for my veg garden. It’s definitely trial and error for me!

[@maryal4540]

Thank you , loved your tutorial 🤓🏵️🌼🌺🌿🌸💮🌷🌱🌻🌹

[@Teachingandmore]

I am excited to see you doing your beautiful bouquets from your farm. All the best to you, Ian, kids, and the farm. :)

[@catherineengle4196]

Serina every bouquet was beautiful! God bless y'all

[@peteginnievota3061]

We are growing flowers for bouquets this year on our 1/4 acre property. You have encourage me to reach past my limits. I made a few last year from our growth around the property and they sold. Thank you

[@MarisGardenandKitchen]

This was really helpful! All of them looked beautiful 💐 I can't wait to try making some bouquet with the flowers from my garden this year. Thank you for the video!!!

[@ggbrock1244]

Thank you for this great video!

[@christydalgaard]

Loved this video. So useful and you did the guide explaning really Well. More of this kind of content plz :)

[@Lynninterrace]

Enjoyable and inspiring,🙏

[@FromtheRootsUp]

Love this!! Thank you so much! My little 10 year old is starting her own flower farming area. This is going to be so super helpful for her💜🥰

[@tinaholbrook9719]

My daughter and I started our flower farm 2 years ago so we could make money for her ballet classes ❤ It's a LOT of hard work, and I'll be honest... I do most of it. But I have seen her love of flowers just grow so immensely...as has mine ❤ I always wonder if I'm in over my head, but quite honestly, I can't live without these beautiful plants anymore. ☺Good luck to you and your daughter in your journey!

[@Botruc]

Thanks for the inspiration! I can not wait for Spring!

[@kelliinoregon5002]

Thank You...U are a great teacher !

[@ambergreen5531]

This was fun to watch! I’m ready to see you planting out into your tunnels!! Wishing you guys the best of luck with the flower farm this year. 🍀 I’m loving your haircut!!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks!

[@memagranola]

Beautiful Serina! You are so talented. Thanks for making it look easy

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks!

[@natalietolchard7896]

NICE!!! I say my market bouquets are made by a thumbs and toes florist! It gives you the license to create bouquets that people are generally going to recreate when they get home sometimes anyway. Fresh flowers are always going to be loved no matter how and who bunches them. We just have to have them.

[@Amanda-jy7ut]

Thank you. Cutting flowers has always been intimidating for me. This helps a lot.

[@leslienichols5268]

I can tell I will be watching this over and over!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks!

[@chrishobsonwhalen5238]

This was super helpful just for those of us that like fresh flowers on our table. Thanks!

[@sandychristiansen1749]

Thank you so much -- This was so informative. I am going to watch it when I make my 1st bouquets this spring. You make it look so easy.

[@cristincarlisle7675]

Always great info!!!!!! Thank you

[@barbaramccann7944]

I needed this two weeks ago when I made a bouquet and a few boutonnières for my son and daughter in law’s small wedding, using flowers from Trader Joe’s. Unknowingly, we used the spiral method, they were beautiful!

[@avismcdaniel1503]

Great video. The best flower arrangement video ever!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks so much

[@Ohiogardengoddess]

Very beautiful 😍 ❤ love it! The berries at 2:34 is st John's wort! The greenery at 19:52 is ruscus!! That stuff lasts forever lol

[@MeganSherow]

Thanks for the fantastic lesson, Serena! Can’t wait to see the ranunculus bouquets soon!

[@dibamoca9885]

You make it look so easy breezy 💐

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

It really is a fairly simple technique with a little practice.

[@judithjohnson2111]

Thank so much. I love this. Super helpful.🌹

[@lisagvojich3139]

Love this video so much! I'm a complete newbie to boquet making and this was helpful. Your background in this video is beautiful.

[@suzannehager7036]

Thank you Serina!! I’m good at growing the flowers, but all thumbs when arranging them. Spiraling!! Who knew??? You videos have inspired me more than you know!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Lol, I feel the same way. I learned about the spiraling, and it instantly made everything so much easier, and the bouquets look so much better. It sounds awkward, but it does sit really nicely in the hand, and it's a very natural movement even without a lot of practice

[@ambersimpson75]

That one you made for your table is gorgeous 💚💚💚 Thank you

[@imaginecastles]

Thank you. This was new information to me!

[@altheab.8907]

Nice video, Serina. I’m sure it will be very helpful for people just starting out and give them a confidence boost.

[@carolleimbach6407]

Thanks for the inspiration! Those bouquets are beautiful. 👍

[@clivewright5437]

Thank you for Sharing :) Love and Rainbows

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks!

[@slgoad]

Thank you so much. I love fresh flowers and buy and then growing season, I cut my own...........but, I have never known how to make a bouquet with the spiral technique. I loved the boho arrangement. Again, thank you for sharing.

[@giomammina8965]

I can't wait for the spring/summer! I can't wait to see the next yarrow bloom in your farm and the sunflowers and zinnias!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Me too

[@blommfleuriste]

Yesterday, I added "2 flower bouquets" to my grocery list, cause I'm now seed starting loads of flowers for the first time and I wanted to play with some actual flowers. This video is exactly what I needed, thank you! 😁

[@jenniferfahnestock450]

I am itching for flowers. This video scratched that itch a little bit! Thanks for all the great techniques!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

When I brought the bouquet in, my daughter started clapping and laughing with joy, saying "flowers, flowers, flowers" - its been a long winter for all of us, lol. She was then confused about how we had flowers ready in the garden, because I have never I my life bought store flowers, lol.

[@marymorris2810]

Great video.

Love to see your confidence sky rocket this channel is going to grow so much more

[@marietownsend8396]

You did so many of us a lovely service. The overhead and close up shots were very helpful. I buy all my flowers at Trader Joe's in the U.S as they have a inexpensive and great assortment. With the world on edge I needed a calming moment of beauty. Thank you

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I'm always amazed at the videos where people show the cheap trader Joe's flowers - they are such a good price. Costco is the closest to a Canadian equivalent, but its still a higher price

[@julievanerem9578]

Hypericum berries. Spikey - Protea and Orangy foliage bits are Alstromeria Lillies. They are fantastic when boomed out. Dont be afraid to raise your color up a little above your filler, let it jump out. Ive been a designer for more than 30 years. You do a very good job. Cant wait for your gardens to be overflowing!!!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks! And great to have the specific names

Wow Serina, your bouquets are beautiful, so is the cat!🐱

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Bo loves drinking out of the flower buckets, lol

[@WildFloridian]

You’ve got me inspired to try a bouquet of my native wildflowers! I’ve been growing them for my wildlife but maybe a few to try as a bouquet will be a nice touch inside 😊

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

A good trick before bring in lots of stuff is to do a vase test. Not everything works well as a cut flower. I will cut 5-10 stems of something, and put it in a jar and see how long it lasts. If it lasts a week, then I'll use it for a cut flower. But lots of stuff will only last a day or two, and so those I just enjoy in the garden. Hope that helps!

[@jenniferhenderson4674]

Yes! Been waiting for this🍃 I think there was a previous demo back some videos. 2022 version is your technique advanced! Berries - Hypericum Spikey globe flower - Protea

[@leeyang7924]

[@BramptonGardener]

Great tips, I can never get enough filler together, and its awkward in my hand but its so rewarding. I usually do fixed arrangements not hand held, but I need to practice.

[@Rebecca.Robbins]

Thanks for this video! I didn't know about spiraling and can't wait for my flowers to grow so that I can start doing that with my own bouquets!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

It's a great trick. It makes for a fast bunch to pop in a vase too

[@45jessiemad]

Love it!! Very helpful . 😃

[@ahavarichardson5426]

TFS Serena! Everyone has their own aesthetic and style! I'm learning everyday! My season starts mother's day occasion week. Excited to start making bouquets!

My first time on your vlog tonight. You were recommended by a subscriber from Whispering Willow Farm. I was thrilled to see your location is Kelowna BC where my Brother and his family live. I watched three of your vlogs, loved them and subscribed. Looking forward to watching more.

You are a great teacher! Would you considering offering bouquet workshops on the farm in that space

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

We would like to teach some small classes in the future, but we might be a little too busy for that this year

[@ErinSpears7]

Hi Serina!! I love the idea of a fresh and dry flower arangement....i am curious how you store it having a mix of both. The fresh would need water but the dry flowers don't like water? Congrats on your success thus far!

[@janetaicorrie6186]

I love your flowers bouquets. do you sell walking onion seeds?

[@SylviaRR]

So helpful. Thank you. 2nd year flower farmer as I retire from teaching and I have so many requests exploding for my flowers. Scared to Death!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

It can be intimidating, but we are always our own worst critics. I always learn a lot by looking at bad examples and seeing the things I don't like about it, then making sure I don't do that myself. It can be hard to see what someone is doing right in the perfect examples, so I find it helpful to approach it in the opposite way.

[@anneramirez9577]

Thank you for this one! You didn’t even need to harvest and sell, but you made this effort for us! I have a question: how long do those dried flowers last, in a wet, fresh bouquet? I worry about that.

[@sharonjennings1282]

I have some beautiful ornamental pepper plants and was wondering if they would work in small bouquets for example mason jar bouquet. The foliage is so pretty and so are the little pepper; I’m just not sure what the base life might be. Any idea?

[@katrienvh4289]

How different these flowers look. Can't wait till the "real" flowers are back

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I like carnations and mums and roses, but they look so fake to me compared to the local flowers. I just find them boring, lol

[@Sullivan_Owen]

Actual floral designer here with 12 years of experience Anyone cannot make a $100 bouquet look great. Does $100 look bigger and fuller than a $20 bouquet, yes because it should contain more flowers. And in order for florists to pay their overhead, there has to be mark up which in some parts of the world can be has high as 5 x so somewhere out there, someone made a $100 bouquet with your $20 worth of flowers. If I were to make a $20 bouquet, it would have to have about $5-$7 wholesale and I can assure you it takes a ton of skill to make that little look good. No real designer or florist just throws stems into a bouquet or vase without a thought for the costs but also the type, shape, color and overall design. I've spent two years making designs cut from my garden, they all look just like compositions I would make when given an entire flower market to choose from. It's not about the flowers, it's about what you do with them.

[@jodygrant1255]

Thanks for sharing what are the names of those flowers. I like the light blush color one. What is the name of that one?

[@KelJayP]

Great video! You instinctively discovered the florist and landscaper's rule of 3s. For whatever reason, the human mind prefers arrangements with 3s (or any odd number, actually).

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I actually cut out a whole section from this video because it's too long, where I was talking about the fact that I'm not strict about the rule of 3s. I find that it works well for the size of bouquet I normally do. But if I'm making a larger bouquet, I keep a similar recipe, and then work with 4s or 5s. I focus more on making things look balanced then on any specific number.
