Hi Fran, here are some great flower arrangement ideas. Once you have the flowers arranged, you could use a large, thick ribbon to tie it onto the broom. https://www.hometalk.com/search/all?filter=flower%20arrangement%20
These are beautiful and look easy to do:

Hello there,
Gather up your flowers and foliage and tie them in a nice looking bunch, (Not too heavy),Make sure they will not fall out when you shake them upside down. Then Secure to the Broom itself , using strong wire and a Bow maybe!
African has so many flowers growing on the side of the road. I would get some local flowers and weave them into the head of the broom.
Hi Fran, here are a few ideas for you to check out, and and idea how to decorate

How to make a wedding broom for a jumping good time
https://offbeatbride.com/wedding-broom/
Hi Fran. I looked at some African wedding brooms on line. They were created by wrapping twine around the broom handle. You could also use a pretty ribbon. Artificial flowers were used mostly at the top of the broom handle and where the handle meets the corn husks. They also made a bow with ribbon and attached it with hot glue. And then the best part, beads and rhinestones were glued on. So pretty. You could coordinate the colors with what the bride and groom will be wearing.
Glue gun and floral wire would be the best way to attach. I would start where the broom handle meets the sweep and work upwards. You should post this as a project!
