How to Make a DIY Cascading Bridal Bouquet

Imagine carrying a cascade of exquisite flowers down the aisle, which would wonderfully complement the fluffy chiffon of your wedding dress. We’re here to teach you how to make your own stunning and reasonably priced cascading bridal bouquet, even though you might think you need to hire a professional (and pricey) florist to build your ideal wedding bouquet.

Delicate orchids are used in this do-it-yourself cascading bouquet to create a sophisticated flowing arrangement that resembles an overflowing of elegant flower blossoms. Additionally, it’s straightforward to construct with Flowersarch’s assistance.

Create this gorgeous bridal bouquet for yourself by following the instructions below.

What You’ll Need to Make a DIY Cascading Bridal Bouquet

Sometimes, the secret to an innovative, stunning design is simplicity. To create this do-it-yourself cascading bouquet, you need a few basic supplies:

• An Orchid Designer Flower Box with Phalaenopsis
• A Spray of Flocked Lamb’s Ear Greenery
• Ribbons of Chiffon
• Green tubing, iron wires, and a pair of pliers or wire cutters
• Your Creative Spirit with Floral Tape

Because of their flowing, waterfall-like blossoms, orchids were our choice for the center point flowers. Faux orchids are paired with complementary flowers, such as delicate silk and foam roses, in our orchid designer flower boxes. The orchid flowers’ distinct beauty is nicely accentuated by the roses and lamb’s ear greenery, providing depth and romanticism.

Although we’ll use a pink color scheme for the Adele Dusty Rose box today, you can personalize your design by selecting any Flowersarch orchid box options. Instead of flowing orchids, use another feature of flowers or greenery, such as rosa banksiae vines.

How to Make a Cascading Bouquet

Step 1. Prepare Your Leaves

Please remove all of your materials from their packaging first. Secure the leaves of your lamb’s ear with a wire and tie them into a bundle. Divide the leaves until they stretch out into an open, organic shape. This will serve as the bouquet’s foundation.

Pro Tip: Forming and shaping the greenery beforehand helps you arrange your flowers in an attractive manner and directs the bouquet’s shape.

Step 2. Add Flowers

Now that your leaves are prepared let’s introduce your blooms, which are the main attraction.

Because the orchids’ cascade will serve as the bouquet’s primary shape, pay attention to where you arrange them. As you position for pictures or go down the aisle, consider where you want them to fall. For visual intrigue, we positioned our orchids close to the bottom of the bouquet and offset them to the side.

Step 3: Accessorize

Let’s highlight your primary flowers now that you’ve organized them.

Little extras like tiny pearls and leaves are included with each orchid package. Use them to give the design height or to direct attention to your favorite flowers.

Step 4. Make a Handle

Congratulations! You have completed the bouquet’s main design! Let’s create a handle to help you carry it down the aisle.

For extra stability, wrap a second wire around each of your stems. After that, trim the ends with your wire cutter to be the same length. Few stems should be left in place to make carrying difficult, but just enough to allow for a pleasant handle.

Insert the stems into your floral tubing in your do-it-yourself toolkit. This will shield your hands while holding the bouquet and hide loose wires. For a polished look, wrap your stems in green flowery tape.

Step 5. Finish with a Ribbon

Let’s add a ribbon as a last touch to complete the design.

Tie a bow around the handle with a matching-colored chiffon ribbon. Let the ends of the ribbon fall to enhance the flowing, billowy look and draw attention to your orchid avalanche.

All Finished!

You’re done! The stunning waterfall cascading bridal bouquet of your fantasies is now yours. You can keep your flowers long after your wedding because they won’t wilt.

DIY Bridal Bouquet FAQs

What Flowers Look Good in a Cascading Wedding Bouquet?

Many kinds of flowers will lend a lovely touch to cascading wedding bouquets, yet we concentrated on orchids and roses for this DIY demonstration.

To create the distinctive draping, linear style of a cascading wedding bouquet, consider the form and structure of the flowers you want and how they work with accessories and greenery. Poppies or peonies soften the image, while dahlias and mums are sturdy and solid. Try different flower arrangements to see what sparks your imagination.

How to Make a Cascading Bouquet Look Unique?

When creating your bouquet, you should incorporate textural elements to highlight your preferred gorgeous flowers, even if our Designer Flower Boxes offer a unified assortment of flowers, greenery, and accessories.

Consider using greenery that adds visual depth and movement to cascading bouquets, such as the lamb’s ear featured in our demonstration or the sweeping leaves of willow or eucalyptus.

Use creative textural components to highlight your wedding theme and style. Use clematis vine to give whimsical touches to a beautiful spring garden event or structured palm leaves for a tropical beach wedding.

How Big Should My Cascading Bridal Bouquet Be?

The stunning design of cascade bouquets makes them stand out, but how much floral waterfall is necessary for your wedding day?

To draw attention to your body without overpowering your dress or figure, choosing bouquet sizes within a few inches of your hip and bust measurements is generally advised. Even if you want the flowers to enhance your appearance, you should still take center stage.

What Other Wedding Bouquet Styles Can I DIY?

There are countless style possibilities available when assembling your wedding bouquet. Whether it’s a spherical rose bunch, a waterfall of orchids, or any other floral arrangement, our do-it-yourself kits provide the means to construct the wedding bouquet of your dreams.

Why Use Artificial Florals for My DIY Wedding Bouquet?

Using faux flowers instead of their fresh counterparts simplifies do-it-yourself floral arrangements. You have a lot of freedom to experiment until you achieve the perfect cascading bridal bouquet because our artificial flowers never wilt.

What if I Don’t Have Time to DIY?

A lovely cascading bridal bouquet full of rich flowers and gorgeous greenery can still be carried if you’re pressed for time and your wedding day is approaching. Our pre-made bridal bouquets come in chic and timeless color schemes to match any wedding theme.
