Creating a bouquet that resonates with the graduate involves thoughtful planning. Here’s how to conceptualize a design that stands out:

Step 2: Select Complementary Elements
Neutral wrapping paper or ribbons can balance vibrant flowers. Graduation-themed decorations, such as miniature diplomas or caps, can add a personalized touch.
Step 3: Focus on Balance
Arrange flowers by size and colour to create a visually pleasing bouquet. Adding greenery can enhance the overall aesthetic and tie the design together.

If you’re creating a DIY bouquet, wrapping it beautifully is key. Follow these steps for a professional finish:
- Arrange your flowers depending on how you want them to appear as a bouquet.
- Cut 3 squares of wrapping paper making sure that the entire arrangement sits perfectly in the middle.
- Place the squares diagonally and the arrangement in the middle, with the tip of one square at the top part of the flowers.
- Wrap the squares around the arrangement at the bottom while making sure to open the top part of the wrapping papers outwards and avoid crumpling.
- Continue adding wrapping paper until you are satisfied with how the bouquet looks.
- Add layers of the wrapping paper to the bottom part of the bouquet, towards the stem, and wrap it around.
