How To Take Your Bouquet To The Next Level
The best way to make a statement on your wedding day is to add a Harry Potter-inspired bouquet. As you walk down the aisle, everyone will be able to admire the gorgeous arrangement of the bespoke bouquet that can truly match your personality. You can opt to go DIY and get some inspiration from Pinterest or directly purchase a customized flower arrangement from Etsy.
It is important to consider some factors if you decide to do it yourself. The first thing is to determine your style. You have to decide if you will do a classic or a whimsical wand bouquet. The second thing is to source your blooms and other materials. Look at local farms and grocery stores to source your floral varieties.

In addition to your blooms, you'll need some other tools to create a stunning bouquet.
- Wooden wand
- 16-inch Styrofoam Ball
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Accessories
- Ribbons (optional)
- Make a pomander using the 16-inch styrofoam ball and flowers.

Optional: You can add some ribbons underneath the pomander to add more style to it.
And now, for the busy and not so creative bride. Yep! A lot of florists can design your dream wand wedding bouquet if given enough time. But if you want a lesser interaction with others, head on to Etsy to browse wedding wands.
