Make a Hand-Tied Bouquet

Learn Fresh Flower Bar’s signature style at one of their in-studio workshops, where floral design and arranging techniques are taught for all skill levels. Here, they share a foolproof method to create their distinctive hand-tied bouquets and signature color palettes, right at home!

Hand-Tied Bouquet:

  • After conditioning your flowers (removing thorns, broken petals, or ripped leaves, etc.) lay your first greenery on your workspace, in a slightly fanned-out shape.
  • Add 3 stems of an additional type of greenery, this helps add fullness and structure to your bouquet.
  • Lay 3 stems of linear flowers on top of your greenery. Here, we start with 3 stems of Stock
  • Next we add 3 stems of Delphinium, for additional height in the bouquet
  • Add 3 stems of Spray Rose or Rose to the bouquet by laying them on top of your line flowers
  • Now add Wax Flowers or a filler flower, any flower that has a lot of small flowers (Baby’s Breath is another example). Filler flowers are helpful to fill in any spaces between the other flowers to make the bouquet full and lush.
  • Add 3 stems of your focal flower as a final ingredient. Focal flowers, like Ranunculus, are quite delicate, so we add them last.
  • Next, slide a piece or two of bouquet wrap, kraft paper, or even a recycled paper grocery bag underneath your bouquet
  • Cinch the paper over the stems, below the flowers. This wrapping style keeps the flower petals protected and on display!
  • Tie a bow with a coordinating ribbon for a breathtaking bouquet!
