Thanks for the video but I agree about the bouquet not being symmetrical you needed a 3rd green hydrangea, it looks funny otherwise. Also you don't need to use a rubber band. I wrap a bit of stem with floral tape then add another one and wrap and continue. And I also secure with sewing pins that have the pearl top makes it look very professional and so far all of my brides have loved my work. I will be working on a Hydrangea, Calla Lilly and Corn flower bouquet. :)

I think you made things more difficult for yourself. It would have been better to first make the bouquet as symmetrical as possible. Then use floral tape to secure the stems. Once that was done you'd move on to using the desired ribbon, securing them with sewing pins going upward towards the flower.

your videos are lovely and have given me lots of ideas so thanks a lot - just a minor critique ... it's bouquet (it's french after all so "bou" is closer to "boo" in english than "beau")

Can you show us how to make a Hydrangea and rose wedding bouquet

Some people don't want it symmetrical.

I'm sorry but this was a pretty awful bouquet. It wasn't symmetrical at all, had gaping areas.
