Best Flower Bouquet Tutorial ｜ How to make a bouquet

Hi guys and welcome to another video. Today I'm going to be teaching you how to make this really really cool golden pink bouquet. So the flowers and foliages we're going to be using today are 5 stems of leatherleaf, 2 stems of thalassole and 2 stems of harmonies. Now I'm going to be spraying all of these gold so I didn't want to put them on the table because these are dry and the table is wet. And I need to spray them gold so. Then I've got 3 gorgeous pink hydrangeas and 7 pink roses. I've got 3 that look like a pale pink and 4 that are like a serious pink. Now this bouquet is going to be £50 and I am also going to be putting in some pink feathers as well and I'll show you how I put the pink feathers in on top of them etc. Cellophane and a bag. So let's spray these gold and yeah. So I like to go outside and spray them gold. It is raining at the moment so I don't know where to bloody put my phone for you. So I'll be right back. Right so the spray that I use is this one 24 pure gold. It's the best gold colour. Oh isn't the lighting good out here? Ok so I'm going to spray every single stem gold ok. I normally do it one by one but because I'm showing you. I'm just going to sort of spray the whole lot and then individually go over it. So it's all nicely sprayed gold. No green bits. Ok brilliant. It's semi sprayed gold and now I'm going to go over them individually to make sure there's no green bits but I won't bore you with that so BRB. I have just laid them outside nicely to dry. I leave them for about 15 minutes and I get on with the rest of the bouquet whilst they're drying. Ok this is not a good angle but whilst we're waiting for those to dry I'll show you how I wire my feathers basically. So I like to get quite nice long ones. They come in like packs like this from your wholesalers or you can get them on Amazon. Don't get the small like dinky ones because they really piss me off. Because it takes ages like they're really fiddly. Anything fiddly like no, no thank you. And then you just get a wire and make sure it's not too thick. Yeah just a wire like this. I'm not 100% sure what gauge it is but it's nice and flexible like this nice and thin. And then you put them at the bottom like where the quill is. Make a hook like this. Line it up. If you can see I've put the hook there. Making sure they're all then wrapped around tightly and nicely. And there you go they're all nicely wrapped together and I basically at the end just plop that into the bouquet. So I'm going to make 3 of those so I'll show you just one more time. Save you having to skip back to watch it. So 1, 2, 3. Line them up nicely. Grab them by the quill. Make a hook. Line them up at the bottom of the stem or the quill. Wrap around tightly. There we go. You have got your flowers. Okay so I'm just going to make another one of those and then we're good to go. I was going to do the other bouquet while I was waiting for them to dry but then I remembered I need the phyllis bea. So yeah. Anyway you won't have to wait so what am I even talking about. All the foliage is now dry. It's very gold. So I've got my phyllis bea, palm leaves and my 6 lovely. So first things first I'm going to use a hydrangea then I'm going to add my 2 stems of phyllis bea in there. Okay so I'm going to put 1 this side at an angle, turn it round and then 1 the other side at exactly the same angle like that. Then I'm going to put my hand at the binding point here so not at the top so it's all squished together. Just slightly down so it's nice and airy. Then what I'm going to do I'm going to put 3 roses in the centre here because I'm going to put another hydrangea here. So maybe 1 of the cerise and 2 of the lighter pink roses. Then I'm going to put another hydrangea here. Then I'm going to put a hydrangea at the front here and then anywhere that we can see gaps because I want to separate the hydrangea I'm going to insert roses into. So maybe 2 of the cerise there and then turn it round and then I can see a bit of a gap here that needs to be separated so I'm going to put 2 there as well. Okay so there you have it. So we've got our triangle sort of shape with the hydrangeas and then the roses basically separating it and then we have this lovely gold phyllis bea here just to make it look like expensive and luxury doesn't it. Then we're just going to go round with our gold leather leaf in a circle. Same at the angle just keep turning all the way round. Okay so we go all around the bouquet. You may need 4 I mean sorry 5 or 6 maybe just move that one around there so they're all equal. Okay then I'm just going to move my roses up a little bit like so. So that's how it's looking at the moment. Then I'm just going to take the bottoms of the palm leaf off because we don't really need that many stems coming from it and then I'm going to find the back of my bouquet. I'm just going to lift that one up. Okay so that's going to be the front and then I'm just going to put the 2 gold palm leaves just at the back. Okay like so. So it just adds a bit of drama at the back of it. Okay then we can sort of move it around a bit so it looks equal. Then I'm going to get some raffia. Here we go. Then we're going to tie it at the binding point. So where my hand is here I'm just going to put the raffia in the middle, put the bouquet down, twist it round twice like so, put it on the table and then just make a sort of knot. Okay then we want to cut the excess off and that is our hand tied bouquet then. Then we're going to wrap it in pink cellophane. Okay so I'll just get rid of this off the table, it is still a bit wet so I'm just going to sort of dry it a little bit. Okay then I've got this pale pink cellophane and just like always I'm just going to cut 3 triangles out. So like for the large to medium bouquet I always use 3 rectangles. Okay so about that big. Okay so rectangles that big. Then I'm going to fold them in half this way and half it at an angle like this so it's got a couple of peaks. Okay then do it for all 3. Grilled. Okay, ooh my back, ooh it's gone. Okay then we're going to go to the middle of the sheets and cut a square out. Square or rectangle so then it doesn't scrunch up when you're putting it round the bouquet. Okay so then we're going to place the bouquet on there and I'll show you where to put the binding point. So just rest the binding point on the top of the square here then we're just going to grab these 2 bits and then put a bit of sellotape here. Okay so I'm just going to turn this round so you can see. So as I was saying pull it up so it's overlapping like this. Okay then you're just going to want to secure it with a bit of sellotape. Then do a quarter turn, do exactly the same. Pull it up, bit of sellotape, secure it. Now this has got a bit wet but don't worry it will dry. And then the other side as well. Okay just like this and then a bit of sellotape to secure. Okay because this has got a bit wet I'm going to put a bit of wrap here around it as well just to make sure it's nice and secure. So just like we did at the binding point, just wrap it around, make a knot, double knot it and cut off the excess. And there we have it, that's lovely and secure like so. And then it's looking like this. Now we're going to need to put a hand where the binding point is here and then another hand and then cut the stems where your second hand ends. So mine ends about here so I'm going to cut to about there. Now there is going to be stems that are shorter than that so just go around and make sure every single stem is cut at an angle otherwise they're not going to get water and they're going to die and we don't want that. Okay so still at an angle, every single one. Okay brilliant, make sure they're nice and level at the bottom so we can do that. Okay then we're going to cut a square out. So instead of the rectangle we need basically two rectangles long to make a square. Then we're going to place our bouquet on here and make sure this end of the stems here are in the middle of the cellophane square. And then you can see, if I pull that down a bit so it's a bit wet, we're just putting that there and then we're going to get the bottom of it and then cut it upwards. This is going to create the bubble to put the water in. Then we're going to get it at the binding point with our hands and then these two other sides we need to pull up and pleat. Okay so pull up and pleat. Please do make sure your table is a bit drier than this but I'm just doing this for tutorial purposes okay. Okay then we've got our bubble and then we need to get our raffia again. Raffia, string, whatever you want and then tie it just like we did at the binding point again. Okay so that bubble's going nowhere. Okay then again I'm just going to tie it twice and then cut the excess off and I'll show you. Here we go, beautiful. Then I'm going to get a bag, my flat pack bags if I can open it, a bit of ASMR. There we go and that's the bag that that's going to sit in so I'm going to find a dry place to put this. I'm going to take this to the sink and fill up the bubble from the top. So just straight into the bouquet the water and if you put your hand on the bubble you can feel the bubble filling up and stop the tap when you feel the water get to the binding point. Okay and I forgot to put my bag up so I'm going to have to use one hand. I won't stress that in the sink for a sec actually. So open your bag up and then just pop the bouquet into the bag like so. Make sure the cellophane's nice, you can cut it down a bit, I mean that bit's a bit long so I'm just going to cut that down and it's looking like this and the bouquet is already looking absolutely gorgeous but remember we made these three feathers so we're just going to pop those in as well just for a little extra. So one, two, oh look at that and then I'm going to put one right here as well. Just make sure they're nice and securely in and how lovely does that look, it brings the bouquet to life. Then I'm just going to go over here and get my branding stickers. If I can do this with one hand, come on. Oh my god, I'm not doing well here. There we go. Okay then I'm just going to put one in the middle of the bag there and then another one just on the top here just to make it look a bit more professional. Beautiful. Then I get my flower care card and my business card, I put them together like so, grab a pic and then put it into the pic, then take it back to the bouquet and then just pop it in there and then people know how to care for their flowers and it's also got my details on there as well and then if there's any card messages or anything do exactly the same with the card message. But here it is, sorry about the horrible table but how gorgeous.
