How to make a Floral Wedding Bouquet - Long Style

This is a spectacular long flowing bridal bouquet. And it is very easy to make if you just follow the steps. An extra pair of hands is a plus when making this wedding bouquet. You will be so surprised how pretty it looks when you are through, and it costs a fraction of what it would cost if you bought it from a florist.

2 stems of maiden hair fern
7 open large white roses
2 medium white rose sprays
3 stems white rose buds
3 -6 Bells of Ireland(optional)
4 yards white ribbon for the bow and streamers
1 yard sheer white ribbon for loops in-between flowers
3 sprays of cream/white baby's breath package of round pearl sprays
Floral wire
Floral tape
Glue gun/ glue sticks
Wire cutters
Scissors
White Tacky glue

Optional:

Long spray of pearls to hang down with ribbons. Add more greenery (fern) and morning glory garlands on the bottom for a more formal look.
Try adding large white lilies in place of the large roses for a different look.

	1. Lay the ferns flat on a table. Stagger them an inch or so. Keep the overall length around 20". Arrange 4 stems (cut the sprays into stems) of baby breath on top of the fern. Lay the rose buds on top of the baby’s breath. Place the buds up to the ends of the ferns.
	2. Cut the flowers from the rose bush leaving the stems as long as possible. Save one rose for later. Arrange them on the bed of fern and baby’s breath. Cut morning glory garland into 5 inch sections. Place these sections so they flow downward.
	3. Bind the stems together with floral wire. (The stems will be uneven.) Cut the stems to four inches long at the bottom.
	4. Starting at the top of the stems (under the flowers) place the end of the floral tape around the stems and stretch it as you wrap it around the stems. It will stick to itself.
	5. Cut the 1 yard length of sheer ribbon into six 6" lengths. Make them into individual loops and secure the ends with floral wire. Hot glue them in-between the flowers.
	6. Cut up the remaining babies breath and hot glue it in-between the flowers and ribbons.
	7. Make a simple looped bow about 9" wide and glue it to the stems underneath the bottom flower. Make another simple looped bow about 6" wide and glue it on top of the first bow.
	8. Cut two streamers with the remaining ribbon and hot glue it on top of the second bow.Cut or remove the remaining rose from thestem and hot glue it on top of the bow and streamers.
	9. Cut the ends of the pearl sprays a half inch below the glued strip that holds them together. Dip them in white glue and insert them in-between the flowers and ribbon loops.
