Video: Blush Bridal Bouquet

See this content in the original post

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.
