Hey all hoping for some help. I’m looking to make my own bouquets and have gotten some silk roses so far but would like to know how to go about arranging them, has anyone done this themselves and has photos? I don’t want them to look tacky so just fretting about that. I’m looking to have something like the photo

I did my own flowers just got fake ones then used a glue gun to attach the ribbon around the stems. Everyone loved them at my wedding

Do you have the range close to you? Or do you have the flowers already, I made my boquet for a tenner.. honestly i couldn't be happier with it, sit n fiddle with the fowers until youre happy with the way they sit, and take your time, if you feel yourself getting stressed out it down walk away n have a cuppa..go back to it late, good luck xx

An American website, afloral.com, they sell artificial flowers and also have step by step tutorials and videos. Also, YouTube has lots of videos too. I've been looking the last few weeks. I've had a little play with what we've bought for table decorations but need to buy more for bouquets. Here's a pic of what I've achieved.
