DIY Flower Combo Packs

FiftyFlowers sells these awesome DIY flower combo packs that have been curated by color or style. They have everything you need to create well-styled floral designs. The pack I’m featuring today is the small, Sunshine Textured Filler Pack minus the Dusty Miller and the Solidago, it contains:

• Yellow Craspedia (aka. Billy Balls)
• White Stock
• Yellow Freesias
• White Spray Roses
• Yellow Solidago
• Dusty Miller

Rehydrating

FiftyFlowers is a farm to customer, wholesale flower company. Which means that your flowers are shipped straight to you from the farm! They will arrive in large cardboard boxes.

• Using two hardware store style buckets, fill them up 1/4 of the way with water, make sure they are clean to start with.
• Carefully unbox and unpackage your flowers, per the instructions from FiftyFlowers. Each flower is different and their team can walk you through the prep for each flower if needed.
• It is 100% normal for your flowers to look a bit tired and lifeless, they’ve been on a long journey to you.
• Give each stem a fresh diagonal cut and place in the water to rehydrate for 4-12 hours.
• Keep out of the heat and sun while rehydrating.

Cleaning

This pack of flowers was incredibly easy to process, clean and prep for this project. Simply pull all the leaves off the stock, spray roses and freesias, then cut the stems down to 5″-8″ to make them easy to work with.

Bouquet Wraps

You can use any type of paper or fabric to wrap these darling little bouquets with. We found that a triangle of paper worked great. To find the right size, take a regular piece of printer paper and fold it to make a square. Then cut that square in half to form an 8.5″ x 8.5″ x 12″ triangle. If your bouquets are a little bigger or smaller, you can adjust your wrapping triangle size as needed.

Make Tags

Whether you’re going to give these cuties out as favors or use them as seating cards, feel free to print and use our FREE tag pattern! Cut out each tag, hole punch, and write your guests information.

Create Your Mini Bouquets

Cut the 12″ chenille stems into thirds.

***If making these the night before your event, you’ll want to put the stock and freesia stems into mini-water tubes. If making them the day of, it’s not necessary but they will last longer.

Build your mini-bouquets by layering your largest flower first, in this case, the stock, then freesia, the spray roses and finally a billy ball or two. When you’re happy with your design secure by wrapping with a chenille stem!

Kraft Paper Wrap

Wrap the kraft paper around your mini-bouquet and secure with twine or ribbon. Then add a tag!

Tissue Paper Wrap

Wrap the tissue paper around your mini-bouquet, being careful not to tear it, and secure with twine or ribbon. Then add a tag!

Doily Wrap

Wrap the doily around your mini-bouquet, being careful not to tear it, and secure with twine or ribbon. Then add a tag!

Seating, Favors, and More!

If you’re planning a garden wedding, smaller mini-bouquets would be the perfect seating cards. If you’re bridal shower is coming up, these would make adorable favors for your guests… and since Mothers Day is right around the corner, you could whip up a mini-bouquet for some of the awesome Moms in your life that live localy!
