Making Wedding BouquetsEasy Flower Arranging Tutorials for DIY Brides
Making wedding bouquets is easy with my step-by-step tutorials. Check out my other pages for bridal cascades, corsages, centerpieces and church florals. This tutorial requires the following supplies: 3 Standard Gerbera Daisies
Large Bouquet Holder 
Insert the Gerbera daisies first, as your focal flowers. Focal flowers are usually larger and draws the eyes to them first by their size and/or color. 
Lightly fill in the bouquet with white daisies. 
Add in some filler flower. Filler is usually small, mass flowers that "fill in the holes" 
Add in a contrasting color - in this case hot pink daisies. These do not come naturally in this color - the wholesaler or flower farm dyes them this bright color. 
I added another secondary flower for interest. I chose light blue delphinium. See how quickly this turns into an attractive bouquet for a very inexpensive cost. This would be perfect for a casual bridal bouquet or as a posy for the bridesmaids. Finish by locking in the stems with a few squirts of Floralock, then mist the entire bouquet with Finishing Touch. Keep in a cool (not cold!) refrigerator or in a darkened, cool room until the wedding. If you don't use a self-watering bouquet holder, be sure to check the Oasis. Rewater if necessary to replenish the water the flower drink each day.
