I did it, I did it... but now I need help

[MrsIvey]

I spent hours in Hobby Lobby yesterday and decided to make my own flowers, I bought burgandy roses for the groomsmen boutonniere and white mini Calla Lilys for the ring bearer and my son (whom, along with my dad will walk me down the aisle)..I also bought the supplies for my MOH and BM bouquets but I don't know how to put them together can someone help...I have gooogled a little but can not find anything-These are not going to have the bouquet holder with the handle like the one that I have on my bouyquet. All help and website links will be very appriciated.

The easiest thing I can think of for the bouquets is hand tying. For my toss bouquet, I simply glued the stems together, wrapped them in ribbon and glued a seashell (you might use something different) to hide the ends. Now that I think about it, maybe letting them hang down would be nice.

I didn't make our boutonnieres, but I'm thinking now if I did, I'd simply take a single flower, put a piece of greenery behind it and wrap the ends in florists' tape (the ends are hidden in the little pocket thingie, right?).

Shoot... now I wish I'd done that for our wedding!

I just tied them with ribbon.

It was a trial and error thing to get what we wanted. I worked from the bottom up and then tied a bow with long ribbon left hanging.
(pic from trial were I didn't like the ribbon hanging at the bottom)


For my bouquet I found a pearl wrap at Wal Mart... that could work for the bridesmaids.


For the guys I just used floral tape. I wraped a piece from the bottom up and then used another piece to wrap around and down. I also bought those pearl ended pins to pin them on the guys.
