How to Create a Wedding Floral Arrangement
Create beautiful botanical floral arrangements for your wedding, with inspiration from professional florist Jess Hillier. Embrace faux florals and create everlasting displays using artificial flowers, meaning they can be kept long after the big day is over and displayed in your home.
The method of creating floral displays within this how-to can be used when creating arrangements in any pot, trough or planter. Simply adjust the quantities of your foliage to suit.

Cut the dried oasis in half, place one half into the pot.
Push it down firmly.
Warning: Oasis is hazardous to the eye, so please take caution when cutting. Always store below eye level.
Cut the stalk of the delphinium down, some can be left as a whole stem leaving 5cm length.
Others can be cut in half to provide two stems, one full and the other with a few flowers and foliage.
Place both 5cm stems into the oasis.
Place the delphinium into the oasis on an angle.
Starting with one corner first place the other delphinium in the opposite direction in the other corner.
Use the shorter foliage stems as filler around the base.
Next, one of the air plants will be placed on the last open corner and tucked into the delphinium stem.
With a pack of swordfish foliage. Have them starting from the centre of the arrangement blending out.
Bending them into shape to make them look natural and intertwined.
Cut down the gypsophila stems, leaving a 5cm stem.
Next to the air plant fill the exposed area in.
Bringing it higher to the centre of the arrangement. Fill in small pockets of areas you can still see oasis.
Cut down the Asparagus Fern into three stems with one of them being cut in half.
Place a stem of asparagus fern into the centre of the arrangement, bringing it up high.
Place another on in between the gypsophila stems and the others around the base of the oasis.
Cut down the Eucalyptus stem into individual stems.
Place each stem around the arrangement, filling any open spaces left.
Now that the arrangement is getting fuller.
Place the other air plant higher than the existing air plant into the centre.
Cut down the lace flower and place around the base of the oasis.
Once finished, for more movement and to give it more of a natural look, bend any stems into different directions.
The floral arrangement is then complete!
To create a more natural look, gently bend stems into different directions.
