Flower Arrangement Crafts for Weddings
- Usually, carried flowers in wedding ceremonies are bouquets, whether simple or elaborate. Frequently, brides also enjoy decorating the location - worship space, outdoor tent or beach - with additional blooms in pew markers, candelabra ornamentation or simple vases. Cones fashioned from crafting paper can hold flowers at the central aisle end of pews, or blossoms can be tucked into rustic buckets looped with ribbon. Swags of flowers created from artificial or live blooms are beautiful on musical instruments or candelabras.
- For the celebration afterwards, consider making unique containers to display floral centerpieces. Friends can help craft personalized vases using black and white photos of the happy couple. Use a simple glass etching kit and stencils to place monograms or the date on glass vases.
Style charming centerpieces by placing floral foam around a plain picture frame featuring the couple and adorning it with wedding blooms.
Combine the romance of candles and flowers by making candles of whatever size you desire with embedded blossoms of your wedding flowers. Using these as lit centerpieces will use your flowers in a creative way without the expense of complete floral arrangements. Creating smaller candles with petals of the same blossoms can be a way of providing coordinating favors. - To further decorate your reception, consider crafting trailing garlands of silk flower blooms. The particular advantage of these floral decorations is that they can be made well ahead of time. For a more luxurious version, make fresh lily garlands to loop at a head table or wind up a banister. Create evergreen garlands for winter weddings that will add seasonal fragrance.
Similar to pew bouquets, chair-back posies, or nosegays, can function both as festive decoration and as favors. When crafted from dried blossoms, they can also be made well ahead of the big day.
