Step 1: Using wire cutters, trim any leaves from the flower stems. 
   

Step 2: Gather your larger focal flowers and start arranging them into the desired shape that you want your bouquet to be. Add in the medium and smaller flowers, wrapping with floral tape as you go. Finish by adding in the berries, securing with tape.

Step 3: Use filler flowers and greenery to fill in any gaps in the bouquet. Continue wrapping the stems with floral tape. When you have added all the flowers and filler, trim the stems with wire cutters.

Step 4: Finish off the bouquet with your ribbon of choice, starting near the bottom of the flower stems and wrapping downward toward the base of the flowers. Secure the ribbon with a dab of hot glue.
 

With your extra stems, create a matching boutonniere!
