What You'll Need
To achieve the Sun-Kissed Garden Bouquet’s signature radiant look, gather the following stems from our collection:
Poppies + Gazania Stems – For a burst of sunshine yellow that instantly brightens the bouquet.
Golden Billy Button Stems – To create balance, texture, and a playful pop of color.
Soft Greenery Stems – To add depth and a natural, organic feel to the bouquet.
Cream Blossom Leaf Sprays – To provide a delicate, fresh backdrop.
Long Plumosa Fern Sprays – For added texture and a soft, flowing shape.
Your Step-by-Step Guide
Prepare Your Stems – Start by trimming your stems to the desired length. A good rule of thumb is to keep the stems long enough to hold comfortably but not so long that the bouquet feels bulky. Cut at an angle for a clean finish and to make arranging easier.
Create a Foundation – Begin with your soft greenery stems, such as the Cream Blossom Leaf Sprays and Long Plumosa Fern Sprays. These will act as the framework for your bouquet, giving it shape and volume. Form a loose, natural base by arranging the greenery in a circular or cascading shape, depending on your desired bouquet style.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep the greenery slightly asymmetrical for a more organic, natural look.
Build the Shape – Next, add the Long Yellow Poppy Stems and Bright Yellow Gazania Daisy Stems throughout the bouquet. Place them evenly to create fullness and a balanced structure. Position the poppies and daisies at varying heights to give the bouquet a dynamic, layered effect.
Add Texture – Once your base and main florals are in place, insert the Golden Billy Button Stems to add texture and warmth. These small, round blooms create contrast and visual interest while complementing the yellow tones of the poppies and gazanias. Distribute them evenly throughout the bouquet to maintain balance.
💡 Pro Tip: Step back and look at the bouquet from all angles to ensure even distribution and symmetry.
Secure the Bouquet – Once you are happy with the shape and balance of your bouquet, use floral tape to bind the stems together tightly. Wrap the tape around the stems multiple times to ensure a secure hold.
Wrap the Handle – Cover the floral tape with a beautiful ribbon or fabric wrap. Choose a material that complements your wedding color palette — soft satin, lace, or velvet all work beautifully. Secure the ribbon with pins or a decorative tie for a polished finish.
Make Final Adjustments – Fluff the bouquet by gently adjusting the stems and florals. Ensure that the bouquet feels balanced and comfortable to hold. If any stems feel loose, reinforce them with additional floral tape.
Styling Tips for Your Sun-Kissed Garden Bridal Bouquet
Pair with Natural Wood or Linen Textures – Complement the bouquet's organic feel with wooden accents or linen table runners at your reception.
Ideal for Spring and Summer Weddings – The soft yellow, white, and green hues make this bouquet perfect for warm-weather ceremonies.
Accent with Gold or Copper Details – Metallic elements like gold or copper candle holders, chargers, or flatware will elevate the warm tones of the bouquet.
Add a Personal Touch – Wrap the handle with a piece of fabric from a loved one’s wedding dress or include a locket with a meaningful photo for sentimental value.
