Start with three flowers to act as the center, and create a triangle in your hand. The flowers should be almost but not quite exactly the same height. Then, add three more flowers around the three sides of the triangle. Stop to look at the mini bouquet and evaluate color placement and height of each flower. Once you are comfortable, keep rotating the flower bouquet in your hand, adding flowers as you turn, until all the flowers have been used. Place each new layer of lowers a little lower than the last, creating a dome. If you are not happy, you can easily start over from the beginning.
Finally, tie the flower bouquet with a rubber band, cut the stems off the bottom with a sharp knife until they are even, and embellish however you would like with ribbon or jewels.
Your bouquet will be your most favorite and memorable of your wedding flowers. Many brides have their flower bouquet preserved or freeze dried to keep as a memento for all eternity. How much more special would that bouquet be if you knew you had created it yourself!
