Step-by-Step Guidance To Create Stunning Bridal Party Flowers


The workshop is designed to take you through every step of making your bridal party flowers, from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect:


  • Choosing Your Flowers and Colors

Samantha helps you pick flowers that suit your wedding colors and style. Whether you want soft pastels, bold jewel tones, or earthy neutrals, she shows you how to mix blooms for a harmonious look.


  • Preparing the Flowers

You’ll learn how to wire stems and prepare flowers for arranging. Samantha explains how to handle dried flowers gently to avoid breakage.


  • Arranging Techniques

Using wire, floral tape, and ribbon, you’ll build your bouquets or boutonnieres. Samantha demonstrates how to layer flowers and add accents like dried grasses or seed pods for texture.


  • Finishing Touches

The final step includes wrapping stems neatly and securing your arrangement so it holds together beautifully throughout the wedding day.


This hands-on approach means you leave the workshop not only with your own bridal party flowers but also with the skills to create more floral designs in the future.

Tips for Selecting Flowers and Colors to Match Your Wedding Theme To Create Stunning Bridal Party Flowers


Choosing the right flowers and colors can feel overwhelming, but Samantha’s tips make it simple:


  • Match Your Wedding Palette

Look at your overall wedding colors and pick flowers that complement them. For example, if your theme is rustic with warm tones, dried sunflowers and amber-hued grasses work well.


  • Consider the Season

Even though dried flowers are available year-round, selecting blooms that reflect your wedding season adds authenticity. Soft lavender and dusty pinks suit spring, while deep reds and golds fit autumn.


  • Think About Texture

Combining soft petals with spiky or feathery elements creates visual interest. Samantha encourages mixing flowers like fluffy bunny tails with structured seed pods.


  • Balance Size and Shape

Use larger flowers as focal points and smaller ones as fillers. This balance helps your bouquet look full without being bulky.


  • Personalize with Meaning

Choose flowers that have special significance to you or your partner. Samantha shares stories about popular blooms and their symbolism to inspire your choices.
