Home Made Bouquet

Although the wedding is not until May, my sister, BT and her fiance went to SF City Hall on 12/28 to get married. They want to take advantage of the Health Care Open enrollment period for 2008 -- hence, the rush to register before their actual wedding.

She asked me to make a bouquet for her, and here is my work! Believe it or not, I bought these flowers at my local Safeway and for a grand total of $20!! I used a dozen of cream-colored long stem roses, white Astromerias(5 stems) and Hypericum Berries (5 stems) as filler flowers. I also made a matching boutinere. Making a bouquet is really easier than you think. Here are the steps:

1. Arrange the flowers to your liking and tie the flowers together with a rubber band


2. Wrapped the stems with a white 1-1/2 inch satin ribbon


3. Pin the ribbon ends with pearl-end pins.


4. Cut the stems off to reach your desired length


5. VOI-LA!! You're done!!
