What to Look for When Buying Fake Flowers
-
Save Money – Fake flowers cost at least 50% less than real ones from a florist. You can make a beautiful bouquet without spending too much.
-
Lasts Forever – Unlike real flowers that wilt and die, artificial flowers stay fresh-looking forever. You can keep your bouquet as a special memory for years.
-
Perfect Match for Your Style – You can pick any color or type of fake flower to fit your wedding theme. No worrying about seasonal flowers being unavailable.
-
No Allergies or Wilting – Real flowers can make people sneeze or droop before the wedding. With fake flowers, they’ll always look perfect—no sneezing or last-minute fixes!
Materials You’ll Need for Your DIY Flower Arrangement
Here’s what you should have ready before you start (you can find all of these at EnjoyBridal!):
-
Artificial Flowers – Pick your favorites, like roses, peonies, or eucalyptus leaves. These will be the main part of your bouquet.
-
Floral Tape & Wire – The tape helps hold stems together, and the wire lets you bend and shape flowers exactly how you want them.
-
Ribbon or Lace – Wrap this around the stems for a pretty, finished look. Choose colors that match your wedding or style.
-
Scissors & Wire Cutters – You’ll need these to trim stems and cut wire or ribbon to the right size.
-
Hot Glue Gun (Optional) – If you want to make sure everything stays in place, a little glue can help secure ribbons or loose flowers.
With these supplies, you’ll be ready to make a beautiful, long-lasting bouquet!
How to Make Your Own Fake Flower Bouquet - Easy Steps!
Step 1: Pick Your Flowers
Choose 3 types of flowers:
-
Big main flowers (like hydrangeas) - These are the stars of your bouquet
-
Medium flowers (like roses) - These add pretty details
-
Small greens & fillers (like baby's breath) - These make it look full
Step 2: Build Your Bouquet
-
Hold one big flower in the middle
-
Add other flowers around it, turning slightly after each one
-
Cut all stems to 6-8 inches long (use wire cutters)
Step 3: Hold It Together
Wrap green floral tape tightly around all the stems, starting right under the flowers
Step 4: Make the Handle Pretty
Cover the tape with ribbon or lace - use pins or glue to keep it in place
Step 5: Final Touches
-
Spray with flower scent if you want (optional)
-
Gently adjust petals so everything looks natural
Now you have a beautiful bouquet that will never wilt!
