For all of you "do-it-yourselfers" out there, here is a video of an experienced designer assembling a cascade style bouquet for a recent wedding.  Duane has over 25 years of design experience and assembled this bouquet in about an hour.  The video is show in "fast forward" for your viewing enjoyment and is captured from the side perspective. 
 
The video does not show the inital greening and set up of the bridal holder.  He is using a specialized stand to elevate and stabilize the holder during the design process.  The holder must be soaked in water and preservative for about 3 hours before he can begin designing.  The initial insertions of the bouquet are simple ming fern greenery which covers the holder itself and prevent "holes" in the design.

Here is another video that "do-it-yourselfers" might find helpful.  It shows our experienced designer, Duane, assembling hand-tied, clutch style bouquets for a recent wedding.  This style is technically less demanding than that of a cascade style bouquet, but don't let hand-tied bouquets fool you.  The finished product requires trial and error of placement of the flowers to get the balanced and round look that the bride requested.  Each bouquet required about 15-20 minutes to complete.  The video is shown in "fast forward" for your viewing enjoyment and is captured from the side perspective.
