Summer Wildflower Bouquet

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Assorted floral picks
• White lace ribbon
• Wire cutting tool
• Floral tape or floral wire
• Scissors

DIRECTIONS:

1. Use wire cutting tool to cut apart floral picks.


2. Starting with greenery, begin building the bouquet in your hand and creating a frame for the shape. Add larger flowers next, making sure to disperse the color and texture throughout. Add additional fillers and small flowers to fill any gaps that appear. Allow for some of the fillers to stick up past the other flowers, creating a wildflower and whimsical look to the bouquet.


3. To finish off the bouquet, add several stems of additional greenery as a collar around the base of the bouquet. This helps to hide any imperfections in the stems and fills out the base of the bouquet.


4. Wrap floral tape or floral wire around the base of the bouquet to secure the stems in place. Use wire cutters to trim the ends of the stems.


5. Use scissors to cut a piece of ribbon about 18" in length. Tie the ribbon in a small bow around the base of the bouquet, making sure to hide the floral tape/wire. Trim the ends of the ribbon if needed.
