| Flowers can be on of the most expensive items at a wedding. If you want to preserve your bouquet during the traditional bouquet toss, you can create a special bouquet of ribbon just for that purpose. A ribbon bouquet will also stand up to several re-tries if nobody catches it on the first throw. |
| Materials: Ribbon for roses 1 ½” to 2” wide Single faced satin works best.
Floral wire and tape
Wider ribbon for the bow
|
| Technique: |
| a) Following our “rolled ribbon roses 101” technique create the roses for the bouquet. Depending on the size desired anywhere from 12 to 36 roses. |
| b) Affix each rose to a piece of floral wire by simply twisting it to the rose like a twist tie. Cover all of the stems with floral tape. |
| c) Build the bouquet working from the center out doming the roses as you go. Bind the stems together with more floral tape and finish the stem with a beautiful ribbon and a bow. |
