How to Create a Wonderful and Memorable Hand Tied Wedding Bouquet

Every decision made about the look of a wedding is an important one, including the wedding bouquet that the bride will carry.  Many brides can picture the type of wedding that they want to have and the details that come with it.  For brides that are interested in a romantic and soft look for their bouquet, they may want to consider hand tied wedding bouquets.  They are so simple to make that you can even use flowers from your own garden, and they give a beautiful and unique look.  You can practice making your own hand tied bouquet before the day of the event, and if you feel confident with the results you can make your own for the wedding.  Or, you can take your example to the florist and have them create a professional recreation with the flowers that are going to be used in the reception or for the bridesmaids.But it might be fun to keep one task for yourself.

There are three basic shapes that you can consider for a hand tied wedding bouquet.  The first is a striking, single flower.  The next option is a mass of flowers that look as though they have just been picked.  The third shape is a simple collection of blossoms that are just opening and buds.

Most hand tied wedding bouquets look best if they are held together with a luxurious ribbon, and the tails drift down and away from the bouquet.  Choose a ribbon color that compliments the colors that you have selected for the wedding, as well as the specific flowers.  Red and orange are frequently popular colors because they are warm and are also associated with passion or romance.  For bridesmaid bouquets, you might want to consider choosing a ribbon that is a different shade of the color of their dress, to bring contrast as they walk down the aisle.

The most common flower that is used for a single-flower bouquet is the rose, since it is most associated with love.  It can be surrounded by leaves or even lace, which creates a “collar” effect around the flower.A single ribbon holds everything together and adds an graceful touch.If your blooms are brilliantly colored, you might want to consider a ribbon that it a lone color so it will not conflict with the intense colors of the flowers.  Consider the overall feeling of your wedding as you choose colors.  Are you having a formal ceremony, or something more casual?Are your decorations brilliant and multicolored, or simple and traditional?  If you are preparing the bouquets yourself, make sure to purchase more flowers than you expect to need.  You can then choose the prettiest ones and you will have backups in case of problems.

Creating hand tied wedding bouquets just takes practice.  Experiment with different flowers and colors to create a look that suits your personality and the atmosphere that you are creating with the wedding.  It should be a joyous day and the perfect hand tied wedding bouquets can add to the excitement.
