How to Create Your Own Hand - Tied Bouquet!

Hand–Tied Bouquets are very popular, and easy to make. A single type of flower such as roses can be used or it can be a variety. Greenery such as ribbon grass can be placed around the edge for a fuller look.

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Hold a few flower or foliage stems tightly in one hand
2. Add each successive stem in a spiral fashion, with the stems crisscrossed in your hand.
3. Once you have placed all your flowers, and while still holding the bouquet in one hand, tie your bouquet with string, ribbon or raffia at the point where the stems come together. (This can be a bit tricky, but gets easy with practice.)

Now you’re done! This yields a bouquet in which the stems flare out, giving room to each flower, as opposed to typical bouquets where the flower stems are parallel. A hand-tied bouquet makes a great gift for someone who has a lot of vases. Recipients can simply drop their bouquets right into a favorite vase, with no need to arrange them.

Flowers, Ribbons and Bows! Oh, My!

There are various kinds of ribbons that can be used to embellish any arrangement or bouquet. Flowers, ribbons and bows often go hand in hand.

The graceful movement of ribbon adds interest and detail to any bridal bouquet and rarely does a floral gift go unadorned by a decorative bow.

Holiday wreaths and garland often benefit from the addition of a fancy bow. The colors and textures of ribbons must be chosen carefully so as to be compatible with the compositions they are accenting.

One type of popular ribbon is curling ribbon, which is very narrow and will curl into loose ringlets when pulled firmly across a sharp edge, usually used for tying balloon bouquets.

One of the most popular ways to cut the ends of your bow once you have chosen the right ribbon is called, Fishtail Cut, which is an indented "V" shape on the tails of your bow - this adds a nice touch to any arrangement or bouquet! (The image above shows a Fishtail Cut.)
