Teardrop shape

This bridal bouquet is shaped like a teardrop. The base is 3D-printed and consists of fern-shaped ribbons. The teardrop shape incorporates leaves from Tillandsia ‘Xerographica’ and individual leaves from freeze-dried roses. You can create this base several days before the wedding. Then, on the day itself, all you need to do is attach the fresh materials. Fresh materials used here include: Phalaenopsis ‘Golden River’, Hypericum, ranunculus, and flowers from the Ludisia orchid.

Craspedia heart

A Smithers Oasis bio-foam base was used for this ring pillow. The outer edge is finished with dried Craspedia flowers from Marginpar, strung on wire. These have a long shelf life because they are dried before being arranged. The interior is made with fresh flowers: Limonium cut into short pieces as a base, with ranunculus, Gloriosa, Clematis ‘Kibo’ (feathers), and mini Cymbidium arranged among them. The rings are secured in the center with two pieces of aluminum wire.

“Getting into the nitty-gritty”

“Wedding floristry is one of my favorite subjects. You can really go all out with the details. Of course, you have to listen carefully to the bride. It’s actually quite difficult to sell bridal work effectively. When I had a shop, I always tried to sell more than just the bridal bouquet. You have to buy all the flowers and materials anyway, so if you can sell some additional related items on the side, that’s obviously a nice bonus.

Consider, for example, a ring pillow, which is a lovely addition to the overall bridal package. A bracelet or floral tiara for the bride, her mother or mother-in-law, or the bridesmaids are also great ideas.

"For various bridal bouquets, I use a base created with a 3D printer or a 3D pen. You can create many different shapes with these, and the filament used is available in just about any color. It takes a bit of experimentation, but I always see some great possibilities."

Elegant wrist bouquet

One of my favorite styles is a wrist bouquet, also known as a cuff bouquet. The cuff and the ginkgo leaves were created using a 3D printer. The bridal bouquet contains leaves of various sizes. Each leaf was individually wired, and these wires were fashioned into branches. These branches were wrapped around the tube and joined together. There are also branches made with wired and dried Craspedia balls. Fresh flowers used in the arrangement include chrysanthemums, Phalaenopsis, yellow Limonium, and Gloriosa.

Flowers for a personal touch

The most beautiful day of your life calls for floral arrangements that go beyond mere decoration: it calls for a piece that tells a story and enhances the wearer’s personality. In this in-depth special from DPK Floral Magazine
we DPK Floral Magazine how the boundaries of the
traditional bridal bouquet are blurring, giving way to floral art.

Pronounced

This bouquet takes its inspiration from a single striking Heliconia, held in place by an XL ring wrapped in wool. From this central element unfolds a selection of flowers, chosen for their distinctive shape, character, and texture. The emphasis is on individuality and expression: each flower is given the space to shine within the hanging arrangement. This creates a powerful, characterful interplay of lines where tension and balance meet.

The materials used include Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, Rosa ‘Princess Hitomi’, Clematis ‘Amazing Kansas’, Cymbidium, Hypericum, and lisianthus.
