I watched this as a maid of honor and found this very very helpful. We were so lost with putting bouquets together! Thank you for taking your time making this and telling us that it's ok to struggle and drop pieces into the cage ❤
“Clean stems are zen” 🧘♀️✨ I’m a new florist and your channel is absolutely amazing! So thorough and easy to understand, super chill, awesome techniques to try, and there is always a good laugh along the way 😆🌸🌻 thank youuuu Flower Moxie Crew! 🩷
Thank you so much! I know that test can be a challenge and it's super old school, my friend showed me her book and we had a good giggle on the styles. XXXX, Amy
@@FlowerMoxie you aren't kidding. My personal fave is the French bread with spaghetti stuck in it, tied with a bandana and red carnations sticking out of it too. 🤣
Thank you for the tutorial ❤️ may I know if you will place the bouquet in the vase before sending to the bride ? Will the fresh flower die when they leave the water for too long ?
Great question, Chloe! Yes, I always deliver all bouquets in a hydration vase and urge my client to pop it back in the vase when they are not using it. Most flowers hold up just fine throughout pictures and ceremony, it's just Hydrangeas you've got to be careful with and pop them back into water more frequently. Overall, bouquets hold up just fine, but they always look rough at the end of the night and ain't nothing can be done for it. =)
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I have a follow up to this question. When you have a larger crisscross bottom what are you using for hydration? The vases my boss uses aren’t wide enough for this.
May I request a tutorial for hanging installations where there aren’t clear areas for hooking or attaching things? I’d like to do hanging greenery that drapes across the room but the venue ceilings are two stories high. Standing installations would me amazing too! Thanks as always for your videos
Hey, could you do a video on a bouquet or arrangement with just baby’s breath on its own? Seen it all over Pinterest and want to do it for my winter wedding but not sure how to and how much to use.
When putting the bouquet in water how do you stop the dried flower stems from getting wet? Do you wire them so only wire goes in water? Beautiful bouquet btw
diy bride here. i love the look of mixing dried with real flowers. would storing them in water overnight or in wet floral foam for a center piece damage the dried items in any way?
It will be just fine! Try to avoid spraying down dried with Crowning Glory, but other than that they will hold up just fine even if their stems are in water or foam. XXXX, Amy
Sorry, updated and here it is. Flowers used are: - 3 Quicksand Roses - 3 Terracotta Carnations - Bleached Italian Ruscus - Tinted Leather Leaf - 2-3 White Carnations - Sprigs of Brown Lisianthus - Baby's Breath - Dried Palm Spear - 2-3 Lynette Cremones - White Lisianthus and maybe a few white ranunculus
In the tutorial it does, but if I was making this for a client, I would cover the mechanics by pulling in greenery or baby's breath tighter so the cage would not be seen.
There are so many options! We like a double faced satin ribbon, but chiffon, silk and velvet also work too! It all depends on what the vibe is. If you're tying the ribbon beforehand, make sure to have the bouquet stems just kiss the water in their hydration vase, this will ensure that your ribbon doesn't get soaked!
@@FlowerMoxie how do you keep them hydrated if you want to completely cover the stems in ribbon (obviously not when the stems are splayed out or this arrangement)? And if you do have the stems peeking out the bottom, is there a risk of staining your dress? This always scares me lol
The one we used is a 4" oval shape, the 6" would be better to use for an arrangement, or else you can continue to add product to cover your mechanics! You'll leave the egg in the bouquet, it's establishing the foundation of the bouquet.

It's definitely okay to struggle and part of the creative process. We have no doubt that your bouquets will be gorgeous!
How to make a ɓow please

So happy to have you with us!
I live for your comments during the video. The XXL head one made me LOL😂
We try to keep it light 😂
Super pretty. You make it look so easy.
Oh more egg bouquets for the bride and bridal party.
Will do! XXXX, Amy
Thank you for such a great video! I loved those soft boho colours. would you consider doing a tutorial on chair flowers?
We have a video for this, and a pew holder. I love requests so let me know if I don't cover your questions!
@@FlowerMoxie thank you! I'll check it out 🌼
Great tips/tutorial, y'all. I'm studying to become a florist in my home state of LA so I'm eating everything you post up!

Thank you!
So beautiful! Can you link where to get dried flowers please? Im trying to make my wedding bouquet
Here's our site: flowermoxie.com/
Here's our supply site with dried and preserved diyflowersupply.com/collections/dried-and-silk-flowers
Another killer video. will you make an updated tutorial for flower crowns one of these days?

Ah, installs can be so tricky. Does the venue allow for hooks? I'm afraid a command hook wouldn't be strong enough.

Ha, you got the right idea!
Hey, could you do a video on a bouquet or arrangement with just baby’s breath on its own? Seen it all over Pinterest and want to do it for my winter wedding but not sure how to and how much to use.
We have a new cascade one we just published, will that work?
Can you use this and put the bouquets in vases on the tables?
Yes, absolutely!
When putting the bouquet in water how do you stop the dried flower stems from getting wet? Do you wire them so only wire goes in water? Beautiful bouquet btw
I set them down into the water with the rest of the bouquet. I've never had issues with it. =)

Hey great job, could you list the supplies used in this tutorials? I will much appreciate it
Sorry, updated and here it is.
Flowers used are:
- 3 Quicksand Roses
- 3 Terracotta Carnations
- Bleached Italian Ruscus
- Tinted Leather Leaf
- 2-3 White Carnations
- Sprigs of Brown Lisianthus
- Baby's Breath
- Dried Palm Spear
- 2-3 Lynette Cremones
- White Lisianthus and maybe a few white ranunculus
Where did you get the fern from? Is it dried, and what color is that 😍
It's preserved pink leatherleaf fern! We're currently sold out of it on our supply site but we're going to be restocking lots of preserved items soon!
Can these flowers go in water if I want to do this for a centerpiece design, since it has dried flowers?
Yep, it don't hurt the dried. I mix fresh and dried all the time and place the stems in water.
@@FlowerMoxie thank you!!
Does the cage still show in the back?
In the tutorial it does, but if I was making this for a client, I would cover the mechanics by pulling in greenery or baby's breath tighter so the cage would not be seen.
@@FlowerMoxie ok Great! Thanks!
How far in advance can you make this bouquet? Will the dry be okay on water for 1-2 days?
We recommend creating this 1-2 days before the wedding. The dried material will be completely fine, even if the stems are in water!
What type of ribbon do you recommend if you don’t have time to tie it at the venue
There are so many options! We like a double faced satin ribbon, but chiffon, silk and velvet also work too! It all depends on what the vibe is. If you're tying the ribbon beforehand, make sure to have the bouquet stems just kiss the water in their hydration vase, this will ensure that your ribbon doesn't get soaked!
@@FlowerMoxie we need you here in Florida :-) thank you so much!
@@FlowerMoxie how do you keep them hydrated if you want to completely cover the stems in ribbon (obviously not when the stems are splayed out or this arrangement)?
And if you do have the stems peeking out the bottom, is there a risk of staining your dress? This always scares me lol
So you just leave the egg in the bouquet? I have the 6in and you could see it under the flowers? How do I cover that?
The one we used is a 4" oval shape, the 6" would be better to use for an arrangement, or else you can continue to add product to cover your mechanics! You'll leave the egg in the bouquet, it's establishing the foundation of the bouquet.

😊♥ Thank you for watching!
Ehere can i by the egg cage thing?
We've got 'em! flowermoxie.com/products/egg-bouquet-floral-cage-holly-chapple-egg
Dried floral, means that it will last for a long time?
Yes! Dried floral tends to be slightly more fragile, but if taken care of can last for years!
