How To Make Your Own Beautiful Bouquet:
Begin by choosing in-season flowers. Generally one or two types of mass flowers (round) will create the base of the whole bouquet. Then add one or two form flowers for interest. You can add filler or accent flowers if you'd like to create something more interesting.

Flower Guide:
- Mass Flowers. Any flower that has an overall rounded head shape and a concentric petal structure, including: roses, chrysanthemums, dahlias, ranunculus and carnations. If you’re creating a round bridal bouquet, it makes sense to use round flowers. Build outward in a circle.
- Form Flowers. Any flower where the form (outline of the petals) is emphasized, including: lilies (oriental, Asiatic and calla), anemone, hydrangea, anthurium, some orchids (cymbidium and phaleanopsis) and any flower with an interesting head shape. These work well in round bridal bouquets because they look great with mass flowers and are easy to use.

STEP 1: To DIY or Not To DIY?
The most important floral element in any wedding is the bridal bouquet. It will be with you throughout the day and will be captured in almost every photo. Your bouquet should look stunning, but more importantly, should make you look stunning too!
Your bouquet should accessorize your dress and pull other elements of your wedding together seamlessly. That's a tall order if you're planning on creating it yourself!
