Large wedding florals are easier than you think.  More detailed work like corsages and boutonnieres, which requires intricate wiring and taping, is harder than the flowers for your wedding church.

Although this design was done in silk, the techniques are basically the same for fresh flowers.  You'll need the following:

• 7 - 8  Stems of Linear flowers - (Suggested:  gladiolus, delphinium, liatris, roses or carnations
• 5 - 6 Asiatic or Oriental Lilies
• 3 - 5 Smaller Headed Flowers - Alstroemeria, Spray Roses, or Spray Carnations
• 1 Oasis Floracage Holder
• 1 waterproof floral greening tape
• Finishing Touch flower sealant

I used to create large silk florals and then used them as rentals for weddings.  This candelabra is one of those designs, but I wanted to take you through the process as if you are using fresh flowers.

First you must always take care to process your wholesale flowers immediately upon arrival.  You can purchase bulk flowers and greenery and all the basic products needed for DIY flower designs.
