    Here's the links to what I mostly bought, as well as the tutorial we loosely followed:

    All the flowers minus the succulents:

    Some of the greenery:

    This is what I used to shape/hold my bouquet:

    I will say for the bouquet holder I had to have something super sharp and sturdy to actually make the holes for the stems to go into because without that I couldn't really push the stems into it. Just my small tip if you were to get that.


    The rest of the greenery and the succulents I bought at Michael's. I wasn't really finding the exact ones I bought online so you would likely have better luck visiting a store. We mostly just started sticking some of the longer greenery towards the bottom and then slowly started filling in flowers and other greenery. Like I said, we loosely followed the tutorial but it was semi useful! I hope this helps!

    Most of the flowers (minus the succulents) were from Ling's Moment! The rest (majority of greenery and succulents) I got from Michael's.

    Thank you! I got all of my flowers at Trader Joes, and I just sat on the floor with towels laid and just went at it honestly. I will say that for ever 4-6 stems I added, I taped up the bouquet with floral tape. That way, I wasn't trying to tape together a massive bouquet in the end and hope they all stayed.

    Floral pins can be annoying, so just be patient and don't get frustrated if they bend.

    Eucalyptus is very sticky, which I didn't know before putting it in my bouquet.

    Don't be too concerned about them looking perfect, really no one will notice the flowers much except for maybe yourself and a very few others. My bridesmaids only had 11 roses each because somehow a couple of my white roses ended up getting broken or were browning when I got them home.

    Lastly, the florist recommended making the bouquet 1-2 days in advance (make a trial bouquet a while ahead of time if you're anxious) and after they were made to put the bouquets in warm water as it opens up the blooms.


    Feel free to message me with any other questions!
