"Here are pictures of the bouquets. I'll be sure to send you pictures of the wedding too.

As for as how I did it - I made it up as I went along - but here's how I went about it."

1. Start with one center flower - and wrap wire around it. 2. Put flowers around the center flower - wrapping wire around them to secure them. 3. (optional) I wanted Eucalyptus mixed into my bouquet - so occasionally I would wrap a sprig of that in the bought. I think lavender would be pretty too - depending on a bride's colors. I just wanted something that would give the bouquets a scent. 4. When you get to the size you want - just make sure it's round - add flowers where you need to even it out. 5. Cut the stems of the flowers to make them the same, desired length for your handle. 6. Wrap floral tape around the stems. This will smooth things out and make the ribbon lay nice. 7. Then wrap the ribbon and decorate like you want. I used a hot glue gun to secure everything.

"I added some red bead garland after I took those pictures.

Anyway - that's my 2 cents. I really like them. Now- on to my next project. DIY invites."
