A bridesmaid bouquet is a wonderful flower craft that makes an economical wedding presentation. A bride can plan a scaled-down version of her bridal bouquet with less number of the same flowers and accents for the bridesmaids. Alternately, a bridesmaid can make it on her own to match her dress. These can be assembled stylishly and can later be converted into table centerpieces as well.
Materials You Will Need
- Fresh or artificial flowers
- Greenery
- Baby’s Breath
- Lace trim
- 1 to 2 inch wide satin ribbon
- Glue gun
- Rhinestone Sprays
- Ferns
- 3 inch Styrofoam ball
- Scissors
- Bouquet holder
- Wire cutters
Instructions to Make a Bridesmaid Bouquet
Step 1: Glue the Styrofoam ball into your chosen bouquet holder.
Step 2: Trim the stems of the flowers you are using before positioning them into the bouquet. Glue the stems while inserting them into the Styrofoam ball. Begin with one flower, and then insert another so that it is below and to one side of the first. Continue adding flowers in this manner.
Step 3: Include fillers and accents like baby’s breath, ferns, heather etc in the bouquet. Depending on the flowers that you have chosen, add fresh or artificial greenery to it.
Step 4: Glue some lace trim around the top edge of the bouquet holder. Make a bow of the satin ribbon and stick it on the holder. You can use ribbon in colors that compliment the wedding colors or the color of your dress.
Step 5: To give your bouquet a finishing touch, glue some rhinestone spray randomly on the bouquet. This will give a fresh look to your flowers, if you are using artificial ones.
If you wish to economize on the cost of the bouquet or wish to have a long lasting memento of the special occasion, then you should go for artificial flowers. Read about following Flower and Floral Craft :
