Once the bouquets are wrapped in tape and the stems fluffed out, I like to add tulle to the stems. I do this for a couple of reasons; one- the tape is sticky and no one wants icky hands going down the aisle and two- it's just pretty!
The amount of tulle that you cut is going to depend on the thickness and length of your bouquet. I like to go with about two feet, but you can adjust accordingly. When the length is cut, lie it flat on your working surface and position the bouquet with the bottom of the stem in the center of the tulle.
(You can click to here browse Dollar Tree online for their selection of floral stems and supplies)
Bring the sides of the tulle up and tie a knot at the bottom to secure it in place. Then begin wrapping from the bottom up, crisscrossing the tulle on top of itself.
Keep going until you reach the top and tie another knot, then trim the ends.
Using another length of tulle, I like to add a simple shoe-string bow.
Just tie the bow, knot the tulle and then fluff out the loops before trimming the tails.
And there you have it, a lovely hand-tied bouquet!
