Best 30-miute instructional video ever!! Very interesting with awesome results! Whatever you charge for your bouquets you absolutely deserve it!!! Just beautiful!!
Hey there! I really love this video, but I was wondering if you had thought of putting a straight forward list of the materials used in the video description?
I am going to be making my bridal bouquet and have watched many tutorials for technique. Your video and bouquet stole my heart. My mind was blown when you folded over the leaves at the beginning and again when you added the sparkle to the roses, I plan to do that but yours was the first tutorial I have seen where it was actually done so I got to see the practical results!! That bouquet is breathtaking and exactly what I am aiming for!!
I'm so glad this was helpful and valuable to you- my friend... I'm glad you found it informative and educational.... that's what I try to do... make it easy and comfortable... and of course DOABLE!
How do you keep the foliage from falling out? My friend was walking on the beach with her cascading bouquet and some of the flowers started falling out.
AMAZING- AWESOME Question my Friend- Thank you Michelle- I use the FloraLok product- it's a special glue made by Oasis Floral Products- it has a WD40 type nozzle- after you have arranged the bouquet- I go back and glue all the flowers into place with FloraLok... here's a link- it's a DEFINITE MUST DO- rule with a cascade- or what happened to your friend will happen ALL THE TIME... www.oasisfloralproducts.com/products/floralock-plus-stem-adhesive?variant=32916028358752 Thanks for the great Question my friend... I appreciate it so Much! Thanks for watching too!
Hi my friend... I don't do that... because my videos are meant to teach techniques and methods- not recipes... I encourage you to create the bouquet you like with the flower you like or have available... Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the question on our UA-cam Preview Channel... The Cost of Cascade Bridal Bouquets can vary depending on the different flowers that are used and size of the bouquet... and the Wedding Designer you enlist to create it for you... the one I created would retail for about $300... It's important to consider costs... but at the same time... your bridal bouquet is a memory that will live on with you forever... in photos and your mind... it's one of the most important factors in your wedding!
O-M-G!! Can I just say, this video is equivalent to a $1000 flower course! I don't think any flower course would have taught the skills and techniques later out in this video, and it's FREE! Who says nothing is free?! WOW!
WOW- thanks Dion... I'm just delighted that it was helpful- and that you enjoyed it... that's my goal- to make people more comfortable with flowers- and offer a helping hand... THANKS AGAIN for the Kind Words my friend!
I use Cold Adhesive to Glue my Flowers into Long IVY Garlands... or Smilex Garlands... to create LONG Trailing Cascades... then I attach a wire to the Ivy or Smilex Garland... and wire to the Design Port Divisions on the Gala Bouquet Holder... coating the Garland with Chrysal Professional Glory helps them last much longer too!!!
Thanks for the comment on our UA-cam Preview Channel... One of the Greatest things about our Videos is that you can watch them again and again. We do offer a lot of information in the videos... with with a uBloom Subscription you can watch the videos as often as you like and as many times as you like... so you can have a resource to refresh your memory or fine tune your flower arranging skills... A uBloom Subscriptions is a Great Value!!!
Holy Toledo! That's stunning! I wish my florist had used a holder for my cascade bouquet. It was gorgeous, but by the reception the bouquet had majorly wilted. :(
That is the HUGE advantage to having a flower foam based holder- temperature and wilting can be a huge issue- and this is a good example of why we need a water supply to make sure the flowers last as long as possible... thanks for sharing that experience Christine... and Thanks so much for subscribing to my Channel... I appreciate it so much!
I'm making this for my wedding next Friday! And I bought 12 small gala bouquet holders for my 11 bridesmaids!! Question: I know that we float soak the holders for a few minutes... I am planning to have the flower arranging party the day before the wedding. I bought Chrysal professional glory... They should last until the next day right? We have a refridgerator in the garage. Should I store the arrangements in there overnight? Not too cold? SHould I store them upside down, right side up, or is it ok to lay them on their sides? Do I need to get more fluids in the foam later on? THANK YOU!!!!
Great Suggestion Kara... but here's the rub- these videos were created over a decade ago- so some items are no longer valid... if you are looking for the Gala Bouquet Holder- here's a link- www.uBloom.com/BuyGala - if you are looking for the halogen glitter or tack 2000- they are available at local craft stores... if there is something specific you are looking for... just put it in your comment- and I can help you find it... we have over 1800+ Videos- so originally there weren't websites and such that offered them... so going back and adding or updating links would be costly and cumbersome... I'm always happy to help ... just wanted you to know the backstory! Have a Flower Filled Day!
@@LifeinBloom So kind of you to explain! Wow! Your designs are still so relevant that it’s hard to believe they were created that long ago. I have learned some cool tricks from you🙂 Thanks for the info! I appreciate it!

Thanks for the question Shellie, You most certainly could use Permanent Flowers to create a cascade wedding bouquet... and the Gala Bouquet Holder is available with DRY Foam that is suitable for use with permanent Flowers... It's just another option and give you lasting keepsake after the wedding!
I very much enjoy your videos, but here in the UK we don't have the same products available as in the US. I use Oasis holders who supply a lot of products, but I've not seen one with a clear handle like yours. Do you not cover your handles with ribbon?
Thanks for the kind comments... it's true... You don't have the Gala® Bouquet Holder in England... I created it for the FloraCraft Corporation - since Oasis wouldn't listen to my complaints about the holders- they had created... I was the FIRST Oasis Design Director in the USA... and a long time fan of the Oasis Flower Foam... I still LOVE it and USE it Daily... it's amazing... Love the NEW Midnight foam - but back to the holder- I felt the holder should not be JUST Utilitarian - it should also be attractive- so that we didn't need to go to the extra effort- of covering it... or applying ribbon or anything else... the Gala® Bouquet Holder is CLEAR- and it can also be painted with "Oasis Floral Paint"- (It's Design Master here in the USA)... the Just for Flowers Products are Brilliant as they are also transparent- so it's really Beautiful when you use them... I also love the FULL Sphere of Flower Foam inside... it's a 4 Inch Ball- and you can access it from any direction- this bouquet holder - has 360 degrees of insertion possibilities... there was room for so much improvement on the standard bouquet holders we've used for decades... it was time for an update... THANKS for letting me ramble on - I appreciate your kind comment- and the observations from across the pond!
What is the diameter of the bouquet holder you are using? The one I have is approx 4” in diameter, and it just seems too small, yet I was told it was the largest available through Oasis. If the one you are using is larger, where did you get it? Thank you for your help.
Hi Lisa... Yes... I created the Gala Bouquet Holder- because I did not like the Oasis Holders- I wanted a bouquet that could be entered from any side- that is why it is a round sphere- with large design ports in all sides... the Gala comes in 2 sizes- with a 3 inch sphere inside one and 4 inch sphere inside the other... you can order gala here- www.uBloom.com/BuyGala I hope this information is helpful... thank you so much for the comment and asking the questions!
I do floral arrangements at work and on the side. I absolutely love your videos! anytime I have a cascade bouquet (no matter the length) I always reference this video for a breath of fresh air. I wish I could share a photo on here to show what I have created! You're amazing and I appreciate you so much!
nk you so much for the wonderful message Lynda... you can share any photos with me at J@ubloom.com or on the uBloom Facebook Page... if you would like as well... Thank you again for the sweet comments... I'm glad that you find the video helpful... and encouraging! Have a flower filled day!
Yes, absolutely- if you have refrigeration- you can make it up a day or two ahead of time... but if you do not have cooler- it needs to be made the day of the event... - Thank you for subscribing to my Channel my friend!
Hi Joseph... it's the Glue in combination with the flower foam- and cutting the stem at an appropriate angle... those three things- hold the stems in place... it's science... maybe you can give the Glue and Flower Foam another chance...I don't enjoy wiring and taping... so I love this process and always have great success!
That's an interesting idea Joseph... So what would you be interested in? It's complicated... as we need to arrange a time... and then have flowers- and supplies- if you wish for me to demonstrate- or if you wish to work along and create your own project... it's not going to be inexpensive... but it may be something that could be possible... You can email at J@ubloom.com - and we can discuss pricing and topics... THANK YOU!
Thanks for the videos so helpful the spray you used at the end and also the one you put in the water when preparing the flowers in another video Where do you get it from I live in Switzerland and would have to look online please help.
The Finishing Spray is Chrysal Professional Glory- the Flower Food- I prefer is Chrysal Professional 3... both are available at this link... www.uBloom.com/BuyChrysal - Or there may be another Chrysal Website in Switzerland! Hope this is helpful!
What a wonderful video...thank you! I had stephanotis once that 'dried' out in a bouquet and looked awful. How do you keep it from not drying out? Thank you. GORGEOUS bouquet!!!
+Jean Tovern Typically it's caused by using Steph Stems... a product made to assimilate the flower to the bouquet... I DO NOT remove the calyx... and I glue it into the bouquet.. my other secret trick is using Stephanotis from Eufloria Flowers... (www.EufloriaFlowers.com)... they grow some of the Best Steph on the planet... and I find that gluing the steph into the bouquet with Cold Oasis Adhesive (or rubber cement)... provides the best result... I do hope this is helpful... thanks for the kind comments... I appreciate it! Wishing the BEST!
Yes- I soaked the Flower foam (which is a sphere) inside the Bouquet Holder- I do this because its the water reserve for the Flowers- that keeps them fresh and looking great for the wedding... If you are using Silk Flowers- they do make a DRY Foam Bouquet Holder that was created for Artificial Flowers!
Can I use this same concept to make a bridal bouquet using silk flowers? How will I get the silk flowers to stay in place? Can I use the same glue that you used? And what is the size of the Gala bouquet holder? I went to the craft store and they were very tiny :(
Wow, I'm just amazed at this DIY You Tube tutorial. Like, I do a lot of crafts and researching how-to's, but this guy has by far blown my mind with this project and the simplicity of the process and the depth of instruction. Just wow!
I answer these in order received- so I didn't see this until I responded to the other comment... but I'M SO THANKFUL You asked- because if YOU Thought it... others will too... THANKS ALWAYS for the questions my Friend... I'm always Happy to answer them!! Take care... Stay safe and well Michelle!
+Katherine Tutschek - Thank you so much Katherine... It's a hard question to answer... as it depends on the flowers and time it takes to construct ... although I feel comfortable saying that this bouquet would range from $200 to $300.. based on the content I used to create it... It could be LESS or MORE depending on the flowers that are selected!
Very Nice compliment CosmicCraze333... I am NOT- I've been married for almost 25 years to my husband Kelly... but thanks for the fun comment... and thanks for subscribing to my youtube channel!!
Float soak the Gala Bouquet Holder in Water that has been treated with Flower Food... for about 3-5 minutes... if you float soak properly... it's fast... Place the holder on top of the water and allow to float and soak naturally. No need to soak flowers for an HOUR like most people say! hehehe!
Olá,sou sua Fã.adoro seus trabalhos sou do brasil ,parana ,Francisco beltrão.como posso adquirir estes assessórios aqui no brasil não se encontra e objetos para fazer estas incrível decoração com flores e arranjos????fico no agurdo em português, pois não sei inglês
Everyone has different elements that affect the pricing schedule. Flowers and Foliage are Perishable and usually are marked up accordingly... where the price of supplies is usually doubled. The Labor Charge for creating a bouquet can be figured by a % or by number of minutes... taking into consideration for shipping flowers or supplies... may add to the total price... and estimated range for this bouquet would be $300-$500.... based on content... remember it can be made smaller w/ fewer flowers!
I would suggest buying on line... I do not know of a distributor in the UK at the present time... here's a good resource for purchasing the product on line... the find.com/kitchen/info-floracraft-gala-bouquet-holder
Can you use this Gala bouquet holder on artificial silk flowers? I am want this type of bouquets and my theme "Rustic Country" I want Sunflowers as the focal, burlap stemmed ivory roses from Amazon with maybe daisies and obviously greeery. We'll be making our own rustic arch with some draping and flowers using the square or rectangular flower holders with zip ties to secure. Our guest seating very simple using bales of hay covered with white sheeting and held with a heavier twine. Tents with a buffet, and for the table for the Wedding Cake on a wooden pedestal, a lounging area also made from bales of hay, covered with old quilts, some homemade burlap toss pillows, a table for eating, a metal troff filled with ice for drinks, wood signs. Unity candle in wood and for my parents and his Mom, chairs I'm hoping to borrow for comfort. A table next to his Mom with a customized candle (in a Sunflower ring) with a special poem in memory of his Dad. Your work is stunning! Thank you Jo
Yes- the Gala also comes with DRY FOAM- so you can use it with permanent flowers- and you can create anything that you like... it sounds like you have a wonderful plan- just be sure to practice ahead of time- and take your time in creating the flowers that will last a lifetime! Have a Flower Filled day- and thanks for subscribing to my channel Mzfinnchik!
So I guess you don't add water to the foam at all right? I know it's probably a silly question. But you did say wired flowing bouquets make it so you can't get water to the flowers so I was just wondering
Beautiful, beautiful, but I wonder how is it possible that a lot of flowers can be set in such a small piece of foam without any of then can fell down.
it's easier with the Gala Bouquet Holder- and it's important to use the Floralock following the process... so you can be sure they don't fall out... Thanks for the question Beti Boo!
WOW!! I found this video by accident as I was getting ready to shut down my computer because I was on my way out. I couldn't stop watching! And then when you did that dramatic pause about the stephanotis, I was like, Oh well, sorry, friends, I'm going to be late!! lol I had to sit down and watch every minute. So many amazing tips with the folded leaves and the glitter, and you're such a great teacher. The love of what you do shines through. Thank you, thank you!
Wow- Thanks so much Beth- I appreciate your kind comments- and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video an project tips! - and Thank you for subscribing to my channel... my Friend!
You can use the same technique in this video to create a Silk (or Permanent) Wedding Bouquet... you would use HOT GLUE instead of the Cold Glue... I used the Large Size Gala Bouquet holder... however you can use the smaller size to create a smaller version! Usually the Larger Size is BOXED by itself... they also offer a Gala Bouquet Holder with Special DRY Flower Foam that works very well for Silk Flowers!
Quick question? How would you transport the already made pew arrangements? Being that I’m not an expert Florist I would have to make them before hand because I would be nervous trying to get them done at the church.
If you are creating an arrangement... rather than a bouquet... you could also use the gala bouquet holder in a vase... or place the handle of the holder into Flower foam... to give you a surface to extend the cascade!
Chrysal Professional Glory... it's available in our uBloom Store... or from local professional Florists ... Click on the FIND PRODUCTS button on the Ubloom website to find CHRYSAL products near your business or home!
Great Question- Using the Gala Bouquet holder - As it provides a water supply- and IF You have Refrigeration to store the Bouquet- you can make it up on 1 - 1 1/2 days ahead of time... if you do not have Refrigeration- for storage of the completed bouquet- you will need to make it no less than the NIGHT BEFORE- Use... I also advise using Chrysal Professional Glory- after creating- to help maintain freshness... Thanks for the question!
Sooo Beautiful!!! Thank you so much J for sharing! you did an amazing job!!! Im sure doing all this takes years of experience and dedication :) You make it look so easy to make that it hurts! :)
totally loved how you demonstrated .. lovely placement of flowers . I am planning to make one for my friends wedding . please could you let me what foliage and flowers you used as I live in india and many of them are not available here Thank you :)
+sailee ghorpade We don't record the actual number or varieties of flowers used... because I know that so many of our viewers live in different parts of the world and different flowers are in season at different times... or other flowers may be more common... and as the list of flowers change... then the amount of stems you would use also change... We highly suggest experimenting, to get a look you desire and also to practice before a big event like a wedding...
Diamond Cortez Thanks for the question Diamond... unfortunately we don't do recipe lists for the projects... Sorry about that... maybe in the future that is something we may consider... Thank you for the question!
5 years since this video and im on here watching different clips on how to make wedding bouquets for my wedding next month and this has got to be the best one! il be sure to look back at your video for help when i make my own :)
Thank you Juliet... I'm pleased that found the video helpful and useful... Keep me posted and be sure to share a pic of your Bouquet when you make it... to my facebook page... facebook.com/JSchwankeFlowers
You are fantastic....but that is so hard for me to absorb Jay. Can you email me the flowers again. From the first to last. List it for me to try....thank you
Beautiful bouquet! I would have loved a closer view of the roses with the glitter. The tiny peek at them in the dish as the glitter was being applied didn't do them justuce.
Hi Can i buy the Gala bouqet holder in England ? I have just been asked to make a very large bouquet and have been told i will have to wire the whole bouquet because of the width and length.I have just watched your video and was totally amazed at the finish bouquet. I will be using roses,lilianthus fressia,and wax flower. Lucyjo
Thank you I lost my confidence in my abilities as an ex florist, but you are a natural born teacher. You reminded me of so many things and some new one. I had to laugh when you mentioned the old wiring, as I was taught at college by a old lady and as my junior florist by an old lady. Both used that technique, so that is all I knew. It was very time consuming. Thanks
You are so welcome Brooke- You need to build up your confidence again... it's fun to arrange flowers- and it helps benefit our health and wellness... Thanks for the sweet note... I appreciate it... - and Thank you for subscribing to my channel... my Friend!
I have only had one bride complain of the weight- in my entire career and it was MUCH MUCH Bigger than this... I always explain to the bride- if they want a big bouquet - it will have weight... so managing the expectations up front is important... big bouquets weigh more than small ones... simple fact!
I was hoping to see you use the stem lock, I have done several cascades in the old type bouquet holders from lomey, but still wired the flowers that were hanging down to ensure they didnt fall out,
I use FloraLock- from Oasis- in several other videos- about wedding bouquets on the website- I don't use the Stemlock Product- I prefer the FloraLock by Lomey- (Smithers Oasis) it's available at OasisFloralProducts.com - I hope that is helpful Tammy- thank you for subscribing to my channel... I appreciate it very much!
Spray white aster spoil everything, it made all boquette look cheap. Orchids and Casablanca lilium looks like an urban boquette with aster white. Mr Swanke, why you not use instead of white aster- add some more dendrobium or gypsophila if you like small delicate shapes, or your favorite spray rose, or miny pompon spray chrysantemums ?
Dmitry Neustroev Everyone chooses what they want in their bouquets... if you don't like spray aster... you can use more dendrobiums or babies breath... I like White Spray Aster... so that is why I used it... You can use whatever you like in your own projects!! Thanks for the comment!
And everyone is allowed their own opinion Angle- I create these videos to share tips, techniques and show the process... I don't create them to say that you MUST create what I create- each person can choose their own theme, color, flower or desire! The Most important factor in flower arranging... is this: The Most Important Person to please with your Flower Creations is YOURSELF... if you are pleased- then you have succeeded! Thanks for the comment- and have a Flower Filled Day my Friend!
Melody Tally Simply use our UBloom Resource Guide... here's a link... www.ubloom.com/FindProducts to find the closest resource to you in NYC for the Gala Bouquet Holder... Thanks Melody!
Certainly- there is a Gala Bouquet holder that has DRY Foam in it- so it is made for permanent /Artificial Flowers... I hope that is helpful Constance... Thanks for the question!

How do you keep the foliage from falling out? My friend was walking on the beach with her cascading bouquet and some of the flowers started falling out.

Absolutely stunning! Question for you is how far in advance can you make the bouquet before the event?
Yes, absolutely- if you have refrigeration- you can make it up a day or two ahead of time... but if you do not have cooler- it needs to be made the day of the event... - Thank you for subscribing to my Channel my friend!
Stunning but what stops the cascade from falling out of the bottom. I'm old school and still
wire and tape . Im not comfortable with oasis and glue
Hi Joseph... it's the Glue in combination with the flower foam- and cutting the stem at an appropriate angle... those three things- hold the stems in place... it's science... maybe you can give the Glue and Flower Foam another chance...I don't enjoy wiring and taping... so I love this process and always have great success!
I would greatly appreciate you taking the time to give me designer lesson maybe it would be possible to something with zoom.
That's an interesting idea Joseph... So what would you be interested in? It's complicated... as we need to arrange a time... and then have flowers- and supplies- if you wish for me to demonstrate- or if you wish to work along and create your own project... it's not going to be inexpensive... but it may be something that could be possible...
You can email at J@ubloom.com - and we can discuss pricing and topics... THANK YOU!
Amazing vídeo, beautiful bride bouquet, thank you !
Thank you so much Ligia...thanks for subscribing to my Channel!
Thanks for the videos so helpful the spray you used at the end and also the one you put in the water when preparing the flowers in another video Where do you get it from I live in Switzerland and would have to look online please help.
The Finishing Spray is Chrysal Professional Glory- the Flower Food- I prefer is Chrysal Professional 3... both are available at this link... www.uBloom.com/BuyChrysal - Or there may be another Chrysal Website in Switzerland!
Hope this is helpful!
What a wonderful video...thank you! I had stephanotis once that 'dried' out in a bouquet and looked awful. How do you keep it from not drying out? Thank you. GORGEOUS bouquet!!!
+Jean Tovern Typically it's caused by using Steph Stems... a product made to assimilate the flower to the bouquet... I DO NOT remove the calyx... and I glue it into the bouquet.. my other secret trick is using Stephanotis from Eufloria Flowers... (www.EufloriaFlowers.com)... they grow some of the Best Steph on the planet... and I find that gluing the steph into the bouquet with Cold Oasis Adhesive (or rubber cement)... provides the best result... I do hope this is helpful... thanks for the kind comments... I appreciate it! Wishing the BEST!
Wow more stunning work, if I can make something half as good as yours I'd be very happy, thank you for an amazing step by step video

beautiful, I learned a lot from you, thanks for sharing your ideas.
Cascade bouquet video
Ya me suscribi
I appreciate it so much Sarah- I'm so delighted you are liking the vidoes- and thank you for subscribing to my channel!
Did you say you soaked the green foam ball? Why..
Yes- I soaked the Flower foam (which is a sphere) inside the Bouquet Holder- I do this because its the water reserve for the Flowers- that keeps them fresh and looking great for the wedding... If you are using Silk Flowers- they do make a DRY Foam Bouquet Holder that was created for Artificial Flowers!
Can I use this same concept to make a bridal bouquet using silk flowers? How will I get the silk flowers to stay in place? Can I use the same glue that you used? And what is the size of the Gala bouquet holder? I went to the craft store and they were very tiny :(
Wow, I'm just amazed at this DIY You Tube tutorial. Like, I do a lot of crafts and researching how-to's, but this guy has by far blown my mind with this project and the simplicity of the process and the depth of instruction. Just wow!
Never mind it. I guess her florist didn’t use the adhesive. Lol.
I answer these in order received- so I didn't see this until I responded to the other comment... but I'M SO THANKFUL You asked- because if YOU Thought it... others will too... THANKS ALWAYS for the questions my Friend... I'm always Happy to answer them!! Take care... Stay safe and well Michelle!
Having a DIY wedding, here I am in my bouquet masterclass 😂 so easy to do I think I might just start doing this for others
You can do it! I'm so pleased you found the video helpful... Keep up the good Work Hazel- and Remember to make it FUN!!!
This is my dream bouquet, I love love LOVE it!! Absolutely beautiful. How much would something like this generally cost?:)
+Katherine Tutschek - Thank you so much Katherine... It's a hard question to answer... as it depends on the flowers and time it takes to construct ... although I feel comfortable saying that this bouquet would range from $200 to $300.. based on the content I used to create it... It could be LESS or MORE depending on the flowers that are selected!
I cannot tell you how much this taught me. Thank you
i loved,so beautiful,thank you so much
Thanks so much Arelys!
Jay is soooo handsome ! Is he single ? Please marry papi ! Lol 😆
Very Nice compliment CosmicCraze333... I am NOT- I've been married for almost 25 years to my husband Kelly... but thanks for the fun comment... and thanks for subscribing to my youtube channel!!
You are brilliant and video is so easy to follow thanks so much
You are so welcome!
Amazing work!! You make it look fun and easy!
It is! - That's what I do... Make it fun and easy Latanya... Thanks for the comment my friend!
Absolutely beautiful! Can you list everything you used here (except the flowers), I'll be making my bouquet soon.

Float soak the Gala Bouquet Holder in Water that has been treated with Flower Food... for about 3-5 minutes... if you float soak properly... it's fast... Place the holder on top of the water and allow to float and soak naturally. No need to soak flowers for an HOUR like most people say! hehehe!
Olá,sou sua Fã.adoro seus trabalhos sou do brasil ,parana ,Francisco beltrão.como posso adquirir estes assessórios aqui no brasil não se encontra e objetos para fazer estas incrível decoração com flores e arranjos????fico no agurdo em português, pois não sei inglês
Absolutely gorgeous you are a master at your artistry love this bouquet.
Everyone has different elements that affect the pricing schedule. Flowers and Foliage are Perishable and usually are marked up accordingly... where the price of supplies is usually doubled. The Labor Charge for creating a bouquet can be figured by a % or by number of minutes... taking into consideration for shipping flowers or supplies... may add to the total price... and estimated range for this bouquet would be $300-$500.... based on content... remember it can be made smaller w/ fewer flowers!
I would suggest buying on line... I do not know of a distributor in the UK at the present time... here's a good resource for purchasing the product on line...

Can you use this Gala bouquet holder on artificial silk flowers? I am want this type of bouquets and my theme "Rustic Country" I want Sunflowers as the focal, burlap stemmed ivory roses from Amazon with maybe daisies and obviously greeery. We'll be making our own rustic arch with some draping and flowers using the square or rectangular flower holders with zip ties to secure. Our guest seating very simple using bales of hay covered with white sheeting and held with a heavier twine. Tents with a buffet, and for the table for the Wedding Cake on a wooden pedestal, a lounging area also made from bales of hay, covered with old quilts, some homemade burlap toss pillows, a table for eating, a metal troff filled with ice for drinks, wood signs. Unity candle in wood and for my parents and his Mom, chairs I'm hoping to borrow for comfort. A table next to his Mom with a customized candle (in a Sunflower ring) with a special poem in memory of his Dad. Your work is stunning!
Thank you
Jo
Yes- the Gala also comes with DRY FOAM- so you can use it with permanent flowers- and you can create anything that you like... it sounds like you have a wonderful plan- just be sure to practice ahead of time- and take your time in creating the flowers that will last a lifetime! Have a Flower Filled day- and thanks for subscribing to my channel Mzfinnchik!
How far in advance can I put the steps on the lily grass? Great video. I have a cooler.
So I guess you don't add water to the foam at all right? I know it's probably a silly question. But you did say wired flowing bouquets make it so you can't get water to the flowers so I was just wondering
Beautiful, beautiful, but I wonder how is it possible that a lot of flowers can be set in such a small piece of foam without any of then can fell down.
it's easier with the Gala Bouquet Holder- and it's important to use the Floralock following the process... so you can be sure they don't fall out... Thanks for the question Beti Boo!
@@LifeinBloom thank you for your kind answer and wise advices.
WOW!! I found this video by accident as I was getting ready to shut down my computer because I was on my way out. I couldn't stop watching! And then when you did that dramatic pause about the stephanotis, I was like, Oh well, sorry, friends, I'm going to be late!! lol I had to sit down and watch every minute. So many amazing tips with the folded leaves and the glitter, and you're such a great teacher. The love of what you do shines through. Thank you, thank you!
Wow- Thanks so much Beth- I appreciate your kind comments- and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video an project tips! - and Thank you for subscribing to my channel... my Friend!
You can use the same technique in this video to create a Silk (or Permanent) Wedding Bouquet... you would use HOT GLUE instead of the Cold Glue... I used the Large Size Gala Bouquet holder... however you can use the smaller size to create a smaller version! Usually the Larger Size is BOXED by itself... they also offer a Gala Bouquet Holder with Special DRY Flower Foam that works very well for Silk Flowers!
OMG! Glitering flowers! Just can't believe it! Maybe you could glue a rhinestone or a pearl in the midle of each rose.
Quick question? How would you transport the already made pew arrangements? Being that I’m not an expert Florist I would have to make them before hand because I would be nervous trying to get them done at the church.
If you are creating an arrangement... rather than a bouquet... you could also use the gala bouquet holder in a vase... or place the handle of the holder into Flower foam... to give you a surface to extend the cascade!
Chrysal Professional Glory... it's available in our uBloom Store... or from local professional Florists ... Click on the FIND PRODUCTS button on the Ubloom website to find CHRYSAL products near your business or home!
wow ..... amazing and stunning
Thank you so much Mele- I appreciate the kind comments... and thank you for subscribing to my channel... and thanks for Watching TOO!!
How far in advance can you make this cascade and still look fresh?
Great Question- Using the Gala Bouquet holder - As it provides a water supply- and IF You have Refrigeration to store the Bouquet- you can make it up on 1 - 1 1/2 days ahead of time... if you do not have Refrigeration- for storage of the completed bouquet- you will need to make it no less than the NIGHT BEFORE- Use... I also advise using Chrysal Professional Glory- after creating- to help maintain freshness... Thanks for the question!
Thanks so much for this video--you make floral work so much less daunting!
請問可否有中文字幕呢！因為有些不識🙏🙏
Thank you so much KY!
Mr. J Swchwanke, where are you?Are you making this for a wedding?
please give me your shop number or how to get a hold of you ?
Your bouquet looks very beautiful! Great job.
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate it so much PJ!
Sooo Beautiful!!!
Thank you so much J for sharing! you did an amazing job!!! Im sure doing all this takes years of experience and dedication :)
You make it look so easy to make that it hurts! :)
totally loved how you demonstrated ..
lovely placement of flowers . I am planning to make one for my friends wedding .
please could you let me what foliage and flowers you used as I live in india and many of them are not available here
Thank you :)
+sailee ghorpade We don't record the actual number or varieties of flowers used... because I know that so many of our viewers live in different parts of the world and different flowers are in season at different times... or other flowers may be more common... and as the list of flowers change... then the amount of stems you would use also change... We highly suggest experimenting, to get a look you desire and also to practice before a big event like a wedding...
OMG this is beautiful and you are natural teacher :0) thanks for sharing
Hi, Could you tell me please is Stem lock available in the UK . It would so help my bridal bouquet making .
is there a list of the flowers used in this video somewhere?
Diamond Cortez Thanks for the question Diamond... unfortunately we don't do recipe lists for the projects... Sorry about that... maybe in the future that is something we may consider... Thank you for the question!
Oh my goodness. Amazing!!!! I love
Thank you so much Lecheesemeister- I'm delighted you liked this video... I appreciate the kind comments- and thanks for subscribing to my channel!
5 years since this video and im on here watching different clips on how to make wedding bouquets for my wedding next month and this has got to be the best one! il be sure to look back at your video for help when i make my own :)

Thank you so much Alina...
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so beautiful, i likes you bouquets.
Thank you! Cheers!
You are fantastic....but that is so hard for me to absorb Jay. Can you email me the flowers again. From the first to last. List it for me to try....thank you
Beautiful bouquet! I would have loved a closer view of the roses with the glitter. The tiny peek at them in the dish as the glitter was being applied didn't do them justuce.
Sorry about that - NEXT TIME... Thanks for the suggestion my friend!
Hi
Can i buy the Gala bouqet holder in England ? I have just been asked to make a very large bouquet and have been told i will have to wire the whole bouquet because of the width and length.I have just watched your video and was totally amazed at the finish bouquet. I will be using roses,lilianthus fressia,and wax flower.
Lucyjo
Unfortunately it does... it does decline after it dries... but you should test it to see...
Thanks for a great teaching video without excessive chit chat!
Does the shape and design of the bride's gown define the bouquet dimensions?
Not as much as the Want and Desire of the Bride- Typically the Bride tells me "WHAT I WANT" and that is what I create... Hope that helps Jann!
Thank you I lost my confidence in my abilities as an ex florist, but you are a natural born teacher. You reminded me of so many things and some new one. I had to laugh when you mentioned the old wiring, as I was taught at college by a old lady and as my junior florist by an old lady. Both used that technique, so that is all I knew. It was very time consuming. Thanks
You are so welcome Brooke- You need to build up your confidence again... it's fun to arrange flowers- and it helps benefit our health and wellness... Thanks for the sweet note... I appreciate it... - and Thank you for subscribing to my channel... my Friend!
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
It is very beautiful! Only I wonder if it could be very heavy for a bride to carry?
I have only had one bride complain of the weight- in my entire career and it was MUCH MUCH Bigger than this... I always explain to the bride- if they want a big bouquet - it will have weight... so managing the expectations up front is important... big bouquets weigh more than small ones... simple fact!
Beautiful bouquet ! thank you for sharing J , most wonderful lesson ....
Sensacional 💐 que maravilhoso ❤️
Excellent design. Love it. Thank you.
Thank you! Cheers!
All i can say is that is so beautiful
Thank you so much Laura ...thanks for subscribing to my Channel!
I was hoping to see you use the stem lock, I have done several cascades in the old type bouquet holders from lomey, but still wired the flowers that were hanging down to ensure they didnt fall out,
I use FloraLock- from Oasis- in several other videos- about wedding bouquets on the website- I don't use the Stemlock Product- I prefer the FloraLock by Lomey- (Smithers Oasis) it's available at OasisFloralProducts.com - I hope that is helpful Tammy- thank you for subscribing to my channel... I appreciate it very much!
AMAZING. . tell me the name of the glue you use, the spray and the gliters pls. thanks
I use Tack 2000 from Design master- The glitter is Halogen Glitter from FloraCraft and I also use Glue for Glitter from Design Master!
Great tips and beautiful designs. Thank You.
Thanks so much Joanne... I'm delighted you are enjoying the videos!
Spray white aster spoil everything, it made all boquette look cheap. Orchids and Casablanca lilium looks like an urban boquette with aster white. Mr Swanke, why you not use instead of white aster- add some more dendrobium or gypsophila if you like small delicate shapes, or your favorite spray rose, or miny pompon spray chrysantemums ?
Dmitry Neustroev Everyone chooses what they want in their bouquets... if you don't like spray aster... you can use more dendrobiums or babies breath... I like White Spray Aster... so that is why I used it... You can use whatever you like in your own projects!! Thanks for the comment!
I think it's to much !!!
And everyone is allowed their own opinion Angle- I create these videos to share tips, techniques and show the process... I don't create them to say that you MUST create what I create- each person can choose their own theme, color, flower or desire! The Most important factor in flower arranging... is this: The Most Important Person to please with your Flower Creations is YOURSELF... if you are pleased- then you have succeeded!
Thanks for the comment- and have a Flower Filled Day my Friend!
Hermoso precioso me gusto mucho la purpurina cuando da La Luz brilla espectacular
Thank you so much Sarah!
You are the best , thanks
Thank you so much Urszula- I appreciate it... and I think you're the best- for writing in your comments!
