How to you make a cascading flower Bouquet?
I’m making my cousins wedding bouquet’s for her wedding, the only type of bouquet I’ve ever made before is a regular up-right bouquet (which I’m making for the bridesmaids) but I want to surprise my cousin with her bridal bouquet and make it cascade like this:

See how the flowers just fall on one side? How do I do this?
You will need a Wire Cutter, and @ least 3 Green short Flora Picks if using styrofoam in bouquet holder. Green Florist Wires, a Heavy Guage of wire, but not too heavy. The flowers and fern leaves you want to cascade down the wires, and 2 to 3 Rolls of green Flora Tape to wrap each wire separately, ( it shouldn’t take 3 rolls), it depends on your wrapping ability, and the number of, and length of wires you’ll use, also how many flower stems and leaves you’ll use to wrap onto the cascading wires that will hang out of the bouquet, as shown in your lovely picture. Begin with your bouquet already made, using your picture as guide, Measure and cut each wire at the length you desire (using your picture as a guide), Use the Flora tape to Wrap the number of the green Florist Wires you want to cascade dwn out of the bouq. (usually 3 @ different lengths) attach each one of these wrapped wires to a florist pick, insert the first pick into the bouq, where you want it to cascade (hang) from. Now wrap the florals and leaves onto the cascading wire as shown in the picture,so that you can line them up to hang neatly from the up-right Bouquet. I’m not sure of the guage of Florist wire,( ask at the place where you buy your Florist supplies), Get the green wires.Tiny green Florist picks to attach to the already wrapped wires, and push into the foam, or wrap onto bouquet stems if not using foam. I sure hope this will at least give you an idea. I know it will be Lovely.
