Video: Blush Bridal Bouquet

In this video, you’ll learn how to create a blush bridal bouquet using a variation of the spiral technique. This is a pretty basic and simple foundational design to have in your toolbox, and it can easily be built upon to create a more complex bouquet.

Traditionally with the spiral floral arrangement technique, you would layer each stem over one another at a 45 degree angle over and over again. However, today, I’m going to implement a slight variation by beginning with a hydrangea to create an instant source of stability for the stems. 

Ingredients Used in This Blush Bridal Bouquet

• Hydrangea

• Artemisia

• Lamb’s Ear

• Pink Stock

• Thistle/Brunia

• Taupe Spray Roses

• Allium

• Scoop Scabiosa

• Scabiosa Pods

• Bunny Tails

• Sarracenia Pitcher Plant

Key Points When Creating a Spiraled Bouquet Floral Arrangement

• There are so many types of techniques you can use to accomplish various outcomes. This particular one may not be the technique you need, but it is a great way to create a tailored, round bouquet.

• Adding a bit of stock (or other bulky bloom) around the base of the bouquet is a great way to cover the rest of the hydrangea and pull color throughout the arrangement.

• Using dried flowers or grasses in your arrangement can make a sweet keepsake for your clients in addition to adding another layer of texture and interest to your design.
