The next step you need to do is add ribbon to your handle to make it look nice and elegant.
You have to remember that the bride's going to be nervous, so you she's going to really
be messing around with this so you have to give a nice feel to it. I always use a satin
quality ribbon, and what I do is add a couple pieces of the plastic stems from the flowers
that you cut off on your focal flowers. Put a little hot glue at the top and you start
raveling it down. Keeping it tight, just wrap down the handle, very loosely the first way,
the first time, go all the way down, keeping it tight. Once you get to the bottom, you
kind of curve it and start going back up. This is the part she'll actually see, so you
need so you need to make sure that your seams are fairly even going up the handle right
here so it looks good, creates a nice feel for her. You don't want it to be too loose
on there so hold it pretty snug because she's going to be messing with it whether she likes
it or not, she does. When you get to the very top, you take a couple twists to get a nice
clean edge along the end up there.
And then with a pin you can just insert it right on up alongside the handle to keep it
there and you'll cut your ribbon off. And basically, it will give you a nice clean finish
to the bridal bouquet. And that's how you make it look nice and clean and professional
for your bride.
