How to DIY a Something Blue Wedding Bouquet

“There is something blue, borrowed, new, and old.” Five things a bride needs on her wedding day are described in this traditional proverb. It is supposed to safeguard the bride and groom in their new married life and offer them luck and wealth. Even while this custom dates back to the 1800s, many brides continue to follow it, at least partly to this day.

Every bride can create her version of this custom, an excellent way to incorporate sentimental gifts from loved ones into your wedding day. Traditionally, the “something blue” was a blue garter belt worn underneath the wedding gown. These belts were sometimes inherited from married mothers.

But nowadays, this wedding custom comes with a lot more fun and flexibility. Flowersarch offers a unique chic flower belt option if a garter belt isn’t your thing.

Flowersarch created this gorgeous blue bouquet with fake flowers. Continue reading to find out how to make this lovely bouquet for a wedding.

How Do You Make A DIY Wedding Bouquet?

Step 1: Prep the flowers

Straighten the stems of the flowers after taking them out of the Designer Flower Box. Arrange them all on your desk to make it easy to see what you’re working with. To prepare them for the bouquet, trim a few small flowers and leaves branches. Using a variety of sizes will give your finished bouquet depth and appeal.

Step 2: Add wire to the small flowers

For any flowers that require a longer stem, like the small one you just cut, add floral wires to the stems.

Step 3: Start to create the bouquet

To make a circle form, start with a single focus flower and add blossoms around it gradually. To build out your bouquet, start with the larger flowers and keep adding smaller flowers and foliage. To create a dynamic and intriguing floral arrangement, follow your intuition and add the smaller flowers and foliage at varying depths.

Step 4: Add finishing touches

Add the tiniest flowers, buds, and green accents to complete your bouquet. These minor details give your arrangement a new level of sophistication and individuality. Examine the entire layout and make any necessary last-minute changes. You want your floral arrangement to feel balanced on both sides, even if it is natural and organic.

Step 5: Tie the bouquet

Secure the base of the bouquet at the stems with a floral wire. You want it to maintain its shape throughout the day, so be thorough. Wrap floral tape around the bouquet’s base to conceal the floral wires. In addition to hiding the cables, this will help keep your gorgeous arrangement securely fastened.

Step 6: Tidy the ends

After the base is fastened, you can trim any extra wire or low-hanging stems. Any floral wire protruding from the bottom of the bouquet can be covered with green tubing. No one will be able to tell that these aren’t genuine flowers, so the arrangement will continue to look natural!

Step 7: Add finishing ribbons

Wrap your preferred ribbons around the bouquet’s stem. This will give you a refined appearance and serve as a hold for walking down the aisle. Lastly, tie a bow at the base of the bouquet using another length of that ribbon. Look at your timeless and feminine arrangement for a moment!

Step 8: And you’re finished!

And voilà. Your Something Blue wedding bouquet is finished! Waiting until the time comes to walk down the aisle is all left to do. For your ideal wedding, this Flowersarch do-it-yourself bouquet is the ideal “something blue.” It might even be your “something new.”
