Floral Crown Steps:
1. Remove extra leaves and cut stems at an angle so that they’re 3-4 inches long.

2. Size wire to your head and leave a few extra inches, cut wire and twist ends together securely at size of head.

3. Attach the first flower to the wire by wrapping the floral tape around the stem.

4. Continue to add flowers, wrapping the floral tape as you go. Work all the way around, or attach flowers only at the center, or just on the side...you choose the look you want.

5. Once finished, continue wrapping the floral tape around the wire to the end.

6. Attach to the hair with a few bobby pins.
Hint: You can cover the floral tape in ribbon, or just add strands of ribbon at the back of the crown.

Roses offer such depth and variety in color, size, and texture. We wanted to create a simple bouquet that really highlighted the peony-like blooms of the Cabbage Garden Roses, the frilly petals of the Peachy Cantaloupe Garden Roses, and the delicate buds of the Perfumela Peach Spray Roses. The roses were offset by just a few sprigs of dark greenery.Blooming Bouquet Steps:
1. Pick out 3-4 large flowers to be the bouquet’s focal point and hold tightly in hand.

2. Carefully add more flowers, around focal flowers. Add 1-2 stems of greenery in between the roses. Continue until desired fullness and look is reached.

3. Wrap floral wire tightly a few inches away from the base of the bouquet, and work your way down the stems until secure.

4. Wrap floral tape tightly around the stems and wire so that all the wire is hidden.

5. Cut your stems evenly a few inches below the end of tape

6. Wrap stems with ribbon or lace and pin to keep in place.
