Make a Bridal Bouquet
How to make a bridal bouquet . . even if you're not a florist! Making hand-tied bouquets can be a little tricky, even for an experienced designer. Here is a simple way to make it a little easier.
This same technique can be used for other flowers. Just remember to use a KNIFE . . .not scissors to cut flower stems. The delicate nature of flower stem cells can be "pinched" shut, therefore making it impossible for a flower to draw water up it's stem. Either use a good, sharp kitchen knife or a florist knife . Tougher stems can be cut with floral snips . The special angle of the blade slices the stems rather than pinches.
