Step 1: Begin by bundling together single stems in one hand.  Start with larger flower heads and mix in wildflower stems as you go. 

Step 2: Continue building your bouquet.  Work in a circle, making sure that similar stems are evenly dispersed around the bouquet. 

Step 3: When you are pleased with the fullness of your bouquet, bind it together with twine.  Wrap the stems several times and secure with a tight knot.  Trim stems so they are even using wire cutters. Cover the twine with colorful ribbon to finish the bouquet. 

You now have made your own silk flower wedding bouquet.  You can make this months before your wedding day.  Simply store upright in a vase, away from direct sunlight.
