- How To Make A Modern But Classic Bridal Shower Bouquet
The fashion at the moment is for hand-tied bridal bouquets, but for an elegant shower style, a bridal holder allows you the flexibility to create something really special. In this video we create a bridal design, so you can see how to approach creating this type of arrangement. From wiring in the longer stems, to creating a good finish from behind, this video will hopefully inspire you. You might never make one, but we hope you enjoy watching!
Ingredients - white calla and black calla lilies, white phalanopsis orchids, white lisianthus or eustoma, rub us, kalanchoe, small succulent plants / echevaria, reindeer moss, French rusckus, eucalyptus, large ivy leaves and an ivy trail

Some lucky bride will pay a fortune for this beauty. I have not seen one so interesting both in colour and design. '
Thank you for sharing. I certainly know here in NZ this would cost a fortune.
Thank you 😊 hello to you in New Zealand 🙋🏼♂️ I can make at a good price but the delivery might be expensive to your area 🤪
Some Queen Ann’s Lace would be lovely too
Yes - that would be very pretty and a nice contrast 😀🌼
Great video, thank you for keeping me company on my meal break at work.
Our pleasure - that officially counts as multi-tasking! 😊
Absolutely beautiful. I love watching your videos, thank you .
Thank you 😀
My daughter just got engaged and this stunning bouquet is exactly what she wants. I can't wait till she sees this video. You do amazing work, thank you.
Kathleen Baughman thank you - a shower bouquet is a good choice - very stylish and elegant. Hope she likes it!
I love watching artists work and their thought process. BEAUTIFUL.
That’s a Masterpiece!
Thank you 😊
Lovely colors.
Thank you for such a detailed demonstration of a beautiful bouquet. Please do not worry about the length of the video. Those of us who follow you are keen to learn from your professional experience!
Isabel McIntyre thank you very much! That is lovely to know 😀
와우~~감동ㆍㆍ너무 아름다워요!
Wish I had seen this video long ago. Did a lot of wedding work in my time. Did a TAFE course but a year was not long enough to cover the different facets if work i did. Now I'm retired a lot of this work wontbbevused by me but I still love to watch you work. Thank you.
Gorgeous bouquet John, really inspired to try this now - thank you for explaining the process so well.
Just Beautiful !!!! Love watching and learning. Thank you John.
Ich liebe Orchideen. Sie sind so wunderschön und in dieser Kombination. Einfach Klasse!!!!!! 🍀
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. Now I am going to water my calla lilies regularly to practise on!
Beautiful arrangement 👏👏👏
Thank you 😊
Don’t know how you placed so many flowers into that small foam ball !! It’s a gorgeous bridal bouquet! 💜
😀 thank you 🌼
Absolutely stunning and gorgeous too. Thank you so much John, your really really awesome and amazing and brilliant too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Mags Nash thank you 😊
A stunning bouquet!! Thanks again John for sharing this tutorial.
Jabeen Fatima thank you!
I love how you actually show the"design" aspect of floristry. It's not just sticking a bunch of flowers into foam. Thank you very much!!!
Joe Sullivan thank you!
Flower Joos you have a great voice and an absolute to die for accent...i have a question. How come u dont see florists ...or evenncreative you tuners that do arrangements using fresh cut flowers and actual plants in pots...especislly for a gifts...i asked.a florist and she looked at me like i was crazy..and changed the subject.
Agusta Sister thank you for the question. So, plants and flowers together in a design? This is a style known as pot-e-Fleur and was very popular about 30 years ago. I think florists have specialised more to flowers. Traditionally they were flowers, plants and fruit and vegetables but now most florist shops are not so suitable for holding plants. It’s a pity, as houseplants are really making a comeback as they are so healthy in the home. It is possible to design around a single plant, or make designs using just one type. We shall add a few designs into our videos!
Flower Joos ...well..THANKYOU....i NOW have a search term maybe i.can find something on pinterest...i came right back to say i found one on u tube..lol..but it looked like a potted plant that had a couple of flowers an a bow stuck in it..yuck
Flower Joos also..i now live in a tiny old town..and our florist retired...he had three green houses attached to his shop...evidently not used used in ages. I asked why they did not sell the business...they live in thr back and did not want to leave...it had been in the family for.generstions but must of suffered a fire or tornado because thr shop house looks to be constructrd in the 1970s..the green houses are well constructed and look much older...maybe 1950...so sad...all that knowledge and skills..and facilities and no one in the family took it on. Anyway it explain those three green houses....i had never seen that before...
And im old
They have this stuff in the USA called "crowning glory". They just spray that on the flowers and they last for a few weeks. A work of art like this should last for as long as possible. Just so beautiful!
Carla Heimerl yes, you can get that here as well. We don’t tend to get warm weather, but in areas where the ambient temperature is high then it’s a good addition. Thank you for adding that 🙋🏼♂️
I love you bouquet support-brilliant idea. The bouquet is very beautiful. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning, showing many techniques thank you 😊
Beautiful
Your work is stunning. I was a floral designer for 25 years, and have never seen better work. You are gifted. Well done
Maryann Lane thank you very much 😀
This is the most beautiful arrangement I have ever seen!
Kathleen Weeks wow! Thank you 😊
Oh no!!! I have seen all your videos now John, i love watching them, more please.
Lesley Kay we aim to have one a week - on a Tuesday. Lots to come, so keep watching 😀🙋🏼♂️
I love watching your videos and the way you explain it with your soft voice it really makes me get more interest and finish the whole process...love your artistry👏👏👏
Ricardo Galicinao thank you! 😀🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
His lovely soft voice is soothing for the learning. I agree.
such a nice and beautiful bouquet！ and a very good demonstration！
Thank you 😊 🙋🏼♂️
You are amazing! Thanks for sharing😊
Thank you 😊
I would use this arrangement as a wedding bouquet. It is stunning
Bardha Gast thank you 😊
Beautiful!
Thank you 😊 🙋🏼♂️
Stunning♥️
Bellísimo espectacular
Thank you 🌼🙋🏼♂️
A very clearly demonstrated video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. No wonder why some florist complains about their flowers falling off the bouquets. It’s the technique and one of the main step they try to avoid to secure flowers in a cascading bouquet to save some time, but what about the embarrassment😏. I like this idea better then spraying the glue. Thanks for a detailed video. I’ve learned a lot from it. A good teacher always produce a good student. Thank you again.😊♎️
Libra thank you! It’s lovely to get comments back, and I really appreciate them, their honesty and they do help with us creating videos in the future!
Stunning bouquet! Beautiful! Keep these videos coming!!! You are a gifted artist and teacher! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much 😊🌼
It's so beautiful...love the colour combinations 😍
WOW!! You are a natural artist! You design with such ease..LOVE it!!!
Thank you 😊
Again an excellent demonstration:would love to spend a week learning from you ,also love your sympathy arrangements
Mary Byrne thank you so much 🙋🏼♂️😀🌼🌼🌼
I love bouquet 💐
Absolutely mesmeric I am so enjoying these videos. I wondered whether it was light of flowers deliberately on the right and also if the berries would stain but they added so much to the theme of the bouquet. Thank you
Thank you! The berries are specifically grown for cutting and using - they are quite hard, so no danger of staining. That’s a good point though. I think the aim was to be slightly aysymetricsl - maybe that is why lighter on the rhs.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😀🌼🙋🏼♂️
Thank you John I can wait to try to make my own you are very detailed and explain clear
Your wiring technique for cascade is genius! I don't do many of these but always stress and worry - I'll use your advice from now on! :)
Tracy Furey I don’t like stress and worry - thank you for watching and commenting 🙋🏼♂️
a beautiful bouquet and a very well informative video, thank you
Simply stunning! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you 😀🙋🏼♂️
Beautiful As Always John :)
Gorgeous
Everything you make is just beautiful!!
Carla Heimerl thank you 😊
Very beautiful and stylish! Thanks for teaching!
Natalyaandall thank you! 😀
Such a great explanation, and very artistic! Thank you!! I almost don't mind the ads, you deserve all the revenue haha
Thank you 😊 without ads we wouldn’t be able to keep creating designs sadly 🌼
I LOVE your work!!! Your arrangements are naturally pleasing to the eye. I am going to try something similar to this for the Autumn months...Thank You so very much!
seapearltoo1 thank you 😊
Such a beautiful bouquet the way you explain everything is excellent so thank you 😁
Teresa Cole thank you - we really wanted to create a video like this
Beautiful excelent idea❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
It’s really nice. I love it. You’ve done it again so beautifully. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
Antonia Buena Walker thank you!
Exquisite work!
Hi Joos I enjoyed watching .. my name is Calla .. those are beautiful Calla lilies gorgeous colours, well placed and nice contrast textures... those little clusters of flowers gave the bouquet a dainty feel... love it...
Amberina Calla DeAbreu thank you so much Calla. What a lovely name 😀
Stunnig!!!! You’re the best !!!!👏👏👏👏👏❤️💐

Kat Jean thank you!
Lovely design. First time I have seen these two colours in . That's the special in your work. I really loved your colours and beautiful arrangements 🤗
chandani stephen thank you!
Thank you g or sharing this ,never seen one done before, beautiful 😍
Thank you 😀🌼
I love how you use so much different varieties of foliage\filler so beautiful 💖
Hi John, that was a wonderful demonstration and running commentary as you designed the bouquet. You used some very interesting material (moss) which I've not thought of putting into a bouquet before, but didn't it help produce a stunning bouquet. I especially appreciated the wiring of the calla lily, even the really short stems. It's always good to watch others demonstrating, you can learn so much. I like the back drop, hadn't thought of that either! Helps to make the arrangement stand out, it's clean and clear. Thank you once again - and the photography was good too!
Julie Speer thank you - this was a video I have wanted to make for a while but worried if it was long that would put people off. It needs to be long though to cover the subject well. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Flower Joos We really like a long video 😊 its so relaxing too listen You🌿 Thank You John and Janos!
Gorgeous as usual 💐
Thank you 😊 🌼
awesomeness.
자연스러운 신부부케 잘보고 갑니다^^

Gracias por mirar - saludos desde flowerjoos
The most beautiful design, the colour contrast is stunning. However, i just see a small negative space on the right hand side between lily and the eucalyptus. I was hoping you'll put a small white flower there. Love your work
Thank you! This is the problem with video making - afterwards I see little things as well 8 wish I had done. But thank you for the good feedback 😀🌼
@@FlowerJoos
You're fantastic, likewise i enjoyed watching the videos..
All the best with your work
@@sarahaliraja9553 thank you 😊 🙋🏼♂️
Magnifique c'est vraiment Très beau moderne J adore Bravo joos
Maria Debonneville 😀😀
very nice.
Your arrangements are beautiful. I need to know how I can make a high center peice with red roses
Grace Pacheco thank you! Have you had a look through our other videos? We have a rose design in an urn video that might be of interest.
Precioso, soñado
Bello
Beautiful and well explained, as always. What do you call the stand and where did you get it? I would love to get one! What about using some flower glue for the shorter flowers like the kalanchoes so that they do not come off?
John, you have such an incredible aesthetic and eye for line, balance as well as textural contrast. What a beautiful bouquet and wonderful tutorial! Thank you, as always, for sharing your skills and talent. One question: is there a name for the apparatus you used as a bouquet holder? Hand tieds are still "all the rage" here in the midwestern US, but I can see the oasis wet foam bouquet and cascade making a comeback soon. More metropolitan areas on both coasts are already making the switch, but it takes a bit for these trends to make it to the middle. I'd like to have one of theses holders so that I'm ready to sell this style as soon as I can.
Henry Stollard thank you for commenting ! The holder has been in my work for years so I do t know where we got it, but it is exactly the same as you would find in a science lab in a school. It’s great because it is so adjustable. It even has another arm, so if you had a bridesmaids version, you could leave it supported on the stand when finished, while working on the bridal one.
Yes, hand-tied bouquets rule the roost here also, but shower or cascade styles are stunning on the right bride / dress, so it’s all about selling. If o have a bride I think this will suit I tell them about it first. Brides need a confident florist - and if you are confident you can sell them this style, as long as it is the right style for them!
John McDonald I love your techniques I like what you do does bridal bouquet shower is so pretty I will mention that I like using when I was doing the stuff work plumosa Fern I think it is gorgeous its Airy it it moves its romantic what can I say it's similar to oh I forget the other phone but anyway it's called plumosa and it is gorgeous I'm sure that you are familiar with it I think you used it in a video one day and I am not sure and another wonderful floral I love is stock as well as freesia two of my favorites oncidium orchids just there's so many I just can't tell you but you do a fabulous job fabulous
James Redd thank you so much! Yes, I like a touch of fern - it adds a little contrast and is soft and airy - perfect for brides. Thank you for watching 😀🙋🏼♂️
How you explain the process to make this beautiful bridal buquet.....A+ love it!!!
sandra trucido thank you! 😀🙋🏼♂️
Would be a great idea for me to create one and display it a work
That would create a real talking point in a reception area. It would be good as such a variety of people would see it 🌼
Ty John.😊 I've followed your channel 4 a lil while I was subscriber #8. Now you're over 15K. Your Badass rock star amazing self !This Industry needs you.The industry of Floristry in America is losing its footing 2 mass market enterprises such as Wal-Mart K-mart even Target with low pricing no personalization & Big fake Icons like Martha Stewart that boasted on many occasions that training in art of design is unnecessary whilst arranging by segregated groupings or 15 stems of same flower No depth No texture No movement plain & lame pieces. As a florist I despise the everything's "disposable" mentality. The way I've been combating that energy is to educate w in-store workshops & when I design bouquets w succulents or roses I include a "care" package w a list of techniques 2 plant/grow em in2 the anchor/matriarch w multiple off shoots sim 2 Sansaveria (snakeplant/mother-in-laws-tongue) or Bromeliads .As many ppl like keepsakes of the special occasion w/out incurring additional expenses 2 the buyer
designprosb thank you so much for the lovely comments - I never thought of myself as BadAss but I am happy with that! I think you are right, floristry has lost its skill level to cater to economy, and that’s a real shame, as it’s our special thing, the thing that defines us as experts.
Shops here can’t compete with the hours offered by the big retailers - and maybe that is something small florists need to address. Maybe see if they can’t stay open much later. It depends on the geography.
Adding that little extra - a keepsake, or pot, is a good idea!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😱.Oh My God Job...!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Is very wonderful, I'm freaking out with it! It seems gentle, elegant, original and different. Is very nice.
Congratulations!! I love it!!
Job, how do you get keeping the flowers wet in the oasis since you make the bouquet until you give it to the customer.
Do you save the bouquet in a special place with and correct temperature until give it to the client? For instance, and special fridge or something like that.
I like a lot the calas and the orquideas.
Thanks so much...
😊. 🦓🥀
Judith Montesdeoca zerpa thank you! Ideally I would create this on the day required, but you could make it the afternoon before. For storage I would place it somewhere cool - not in a fridge because of the orchids. It possible maybe to give a slight mist with water, and then cover with a thin plastic sheet or bag just to help create a microclimate.
So it can be left on the stand until boxed for delivery.
Thanks for watching and your lovely comments 😀🙋🏼♂️
Flower Joos Thanks so much!
Your words are very important!
Bridal bouquets are problematic, aren’t they? The tips for securing the callas in the cascade are great!!
Thank you 😊
Excellent video, your flower knowledge is great. Could you please tell us what wire gauge you're using? Thank you for this.
Marianna Mullarkey - on our video “ how to wire different flowers “ I have listed the wires and the gauges there. I tried to copy and paste but it wouldn’t play!
Thanks for watching and commenting 😀
Beautiful work!! Would you be willing to share where I might be able to find and purchase a bouquet stand similar to the one you use when you make your bridal bouquets. I live in the United States in the southern New Jersey area. I would very much appreciate your help! Thank you for your help and for all your amazing videos...I simply can’t get enough!
Thank you - that was lovely feedback. The stand is the type you find in science class at school . I’m not sure where we got this one , but you can find them online - Amazon has them I think.
Thank you for watching the videos 😀🌼
❤️❤️❤️
Fantasy
Love watching your arrangements. Are these artificial flowers or natural flowers?
I see. Natural 🌸
They are fresh flowers 😀🙋🏼♂️
you are an exquisite designer, do you finish off the back of the bouquet holder and handle? if so what and how do you do it?
Kathy Chavez thank you for the lovely comment. Yes, I would finish off the back. Normally I would use satin ribbon to cover the handle. This is simple and easy, and in regard to cost is not expensive. It could be finished in a few different ways though, such as cord or even beargrass as a tail. If fancy, then probably worth doing the finish before starting the bouquet itself.
Hi John!! will you make another cascade tutorial and emphasize about the shape, lines, proportion... how to. I love this one for the mechanics but the flower part is still looking so complicated for me! I want to make one of these for me next year wedding!
HD .E it is complicated so yes, we could do a classic version video! If you want to make one for yourself, then I would suggest you practise, practise practise.... it will also be quicker and you will know how to place flowers and how best to secure them.
I want to do a few versions using a holder.
Flower Joos Yessss, more please!! This one is soo pretty!!
😍
😀🙋🏼♂️
Hi John thank you for your beautiful presentation. I’ve just been asked to do a bouquet for a friend and it’s my first. I’m new to arranging and would like to give her a this as a gift. Could you tell me what size wire guage did you use? Many thanks🙂
Hi there. The wires used were -
The thin green wire - 0.22
Stub wire 0.24
Thicker rose silver wire - 0.26
Thin silver rose wire 0.28
Hope that helps. This is an item that needs a good amount of practice, so please have a few trial runs to see how you get on - it will be less stressful I think 😀🌼
I love it.. but I don't like to much greenery.
Watching 31 August 2020
Irene Davo thank you 😊 🙋🏼♂️🌼
Am back!
Where did you get the great metal stand and holder for holding the foam bouquet holder?
This is a science lab stand - like you have in school classes. You can find them online to buy - we had this for years at work so I’m not sure where it was sourced originally. It’s good as it’s flexible and has a good weighted base
This is artistry. How do you decide what flowers to use?
Ice Blue for a wedding bouquet this would of been decided when discussing the flowers with the bride, so it’s just a case of working out how many of each key flower is needed per item you are going to create. I use a wedding flower plan sheet to pop in each flower for each item - then the total gives me the flower order to get in for doing the whole event.
I see. The flowers you chose blended together. You are really a professional.
Ice Blue thank you!
May I know what gauge size wire did you use to tie the flowers used in this video?
On the one hand I’m told there are different gauges of wire but I’m not told which gauge is best for what? I’m a complete novice and thick or thin is not enough for me please tell me what gauge you’re using at any given time
That is a good point. For the thinnest silver rose wire the gauge is 0.28 and the slightly thicker rose wire is .26
For the green flexible wire the gauge is .22.
Where we are based you can find that the wholesaler might not have a bundle of the one you just had for the last 4 years, so it’s really good to get a feel of how you find different wires and how they preform.
These big bundles of wires last for ages though. 😀
Thank you for that 👍 it’s very helpful. Love your work by the way!
