I had the pleasure of creating unique wedding bouquets with gold triangle hoops for the bridesmaids at Kate’s beautiful burgundy fall wedding, inspired by her love for music.
The triangle hoop bridesmaids bouquets complemented their classy two-tone dresses nicely, and in this post, I’ll be sharing the bouquet recipe for creating these unique triangle bridesmaid’s bouquets with fall flowers including burgundy Dahlias!

Rose ( Quicksand or Golden mustard) – 1 stem

Instructions; How to make triangle bouquets for bridesmaids
Cut all the flowers and greenery to a short length, right under the flower heads, and hydrate them overnight.
Wire all the flowers and greenery with 30-gauge floral wire, except for roses which require 24-20-gauge wire, and cover the wire with floral tape for about 3 inches.
Attach the flowers and greenery to the bottom frame of the triangle hoop using floral tape. Start with ivy vine, a few greenery, and small blooms on one side, then spread the medium and larger flowers nicely halfway down the hoop. Repeat on the other side and connect them in the middle. Be sure to hide the back side so that the wires and tape are not visible.
Adjust the bouquet with your fingers, spray water on the flowers, and keep them in a cooler until ready to use.
For the triangle hoop, I used a 12″ gold triangle hoop for these bouquets, but if you prefer a slightly smaller size, a 10″ hoop would also look great. To purchase the triangle hoop, I’ve included some Amazon links below for your convenience.
When to Create the bridesmaid bouquets and how to keep them fresh
Since they won’t be in water to keep them fresh, I recommend making them one day before the wedding. To keep the flowers and greenery hydrated, spray them with water and cover them with paper in a container or bag.
Choosing the right materials that won’t wilt immediately is also key to making the bouquets like this last longer. In a separate post blow, you can see the list of cut flowers that work well for wiring!
