How to make a wedding flower with your own hands - original ideas

Bride's hair decoration

Artificial flowers look great in a bride’s hairstyle if they are made with your own hands and with love. And if they are made with high quality, they look simply great. Consider the option of a flower with feathers.

To make it you will need:

• large feathers;
• thin and long feathers;
• a vintage button, a beautiful bead or pebble with a hole;
• a piece of thick fabric;
• scissors;
• superglue or moment;
• needle and thread;
• a piece of foam rubber.

We cut a circle from the prepared piece of fabric and attach it to the foam rubber with a needle.

Glue the tops of large feathers in a circle to the base, and glue the long ones on top. We lay out the feathers so that we get a nice, even circle. We place a beautiful bead in the center. Such jewelry is secured with an invisible pin.

Simple fabric flowers

This option is the most laconic and is perfect for those who want to try their hand at creating such decor for the first time.

Inventory:

• fabric of delicate tones
• scissors
• needle and thread
• middle or beautiful button

Step-by-step instruction:

• First you need to cut the fabric into pieces about 30-40 cm long and 5-10 cm wide.
• Fold the strip of fabric in half.
• Using a needle and thread, string the fabric in two layers on the side opposite the fold.
• Tighten the thread, gathering the fabric into an accordion and sew a couple of stitches on the other side of the folded section to create a circle flower.
• You can make several of these blanks of different sizes and then connect them, then the flower will turn out lush.
• Add a nice center.

DIY boutonniere for the groom

This decor should be harmoniously combined with the bride’s bouquet of fresh flowers. The central flower is the same as in the bride's bouquet.

Making your own bouquet that will serve as decoration for the groom’s suit is quite simple.

The basis of the boutonniere is a large flower combined with surrounding small flowers or greenery - rosemary, sage or lavender. For an ideal result, use the recommendations of a professional.

• The boutonniere should not be heavy, otherwise the image will not be harmonious. Flowers such as lilies should be used with great care. They are too big and will completely cover the lapel of the jacket.
• In order not to spoil your well-being, you should not choose strong-smelling flowers; opt for softer aromas.
• Flowers with long stamens and abundant pollen will not only look unsightly, but can also stain a festive outfit, especially if the groom has chosen a light suit.

Variety of ideas

A traditional bouquet of fragrant buds will never lose its appeal as a wedding decoration. However, a number of disadvantages of living plants overshadow the holiday:

• in hot weather they quickly wither and deteriorate in the cold;
• are expensive;
• are saved only in the photo.

Therefore, sets of fabric flowers are becoming more and more popular. Brides, along with the usual natural one, purchase a decorative duplicate bouquet. The young wife throws a bunch of fresh flowers to her girlfriends, and keeps an alternative option for herself as a souvenir. The candy bouquet looks interesting. In this case, plants are used both live and homemade.

Handmade decorations for the wedding procession

In order for your cortege to look sophisticated and elegant, you should adhere to moderation. Just a few compositions of ribbons attached to the hood are enough. Organizing and holding a wedding celebration requires considerable financial costs. To save money, you can try making decorations for your car yourself. This will not only reduce the cost of the wedding, but also add uniqueness and originality to the decor. Coping with this task is quite simple.

To decorate your car you will need:

• double sided tape;
• satin and plastic ribbons;
• organza;
• flowers (can be fresh, but better made with your own hands from ribbons);
• wedding rings;
• balloons;
• dolls or figurines;
• original license plate;
• decorative mesh used in flower shops.

Remember that the wedding cortege should be in harmony with the color scheme of the celebration, the decor of the car should contrast with the car - we use bright and dark colors for light ones, and vice versa. Traditional dolls are already going out of fashion; motorcades are becoming more and more common, captivating the eyes of passers-by with their originality. Several examples in the photo.

Decorating chairs with flowers

Massive floor-length fabric covers have long been out of fashion, but this is not a reason to give up the elegant decor of chairs. Instead of covering it with a thick, opaque fabric, take a wide piece of chiffon or organza, pass it through the bars and tie it with a tie-down ribbon. And instead of a big banal bow, insert flowers or whole green branches into the knot.

Organza flowers

Organza is a delicate, almost transparent material that is often used in wedding paraphernalia. This delicate fabric makes wonderful flowers for decoration and can be made in any size.

You will definitely need:

• Organza that matches the color scheme of the wedding.
• Threads, needle.
• A glass or compass to create even petals.
• Scissors.
• Lighter. You can use matches or a candle, but a lighter will be more convenient.
• A beautiful center for a flower. This could be beads, a finished center made of rhinestones or stones, or a golden center.
• If you are planning a floral arrangement of flowers, then you also need a base (felt is convenient) and, preferably, a glue gun.

How to sew a flower from organza fabric:

• From the selected material we cut out the petals of the required size; for a beautiful flower you need more than ten of them. The simplest solution would be to make the petals round. Here a glass will come to the rescue, by outlining it we will get the desired petal. It must be taken into account that the lower petals of the flower should be larger in size than the lower ones.
• Using a lighter or candle, you need to scorch the edges of the petals, otherwise they will crumble.
• We string the fabric petals in the required order, in the center on a thread and a needle. This must be done until a beautiful flower is formed.
• Add a beautiful center to the center of the resulting flower.
• When making a composition, glue the flowers to the base using a glue gun.

Table decoration

To decorate the room and table, not only fresh flowers are used, but also decorations made of paper, ribbons, and fabric. You can decorate the background at the newlyweds’ table with flowers you’ve made yourself. We create all kinds of flowers, buds, leaves from corrugated paper and attach them to fabric of the desired color, creating a unique flower arrangement in the colors of the celebration. This design will be unique and inimitable, because you created it guided only by your imagination. You can place small bouquets of fresh flowers on the newlyweds' table.

If you get down to business by listening to our advice, your wedding will be the most elegant and unique. It will definitely be remembered by those invited for many years.

Flower sculptures

An invaluable material when making floral decorations for a wedding is a floral sponge. You can use it to make small decorative compositions on the table or even entire sculptures. Take ready-made blocks or cut out the desired shape yourself.

Before starting work, you need to soak the sponge a little with plain water. You can cover the sides with leaves, twigs, wide flat flowers, or decorate them with ribbons and lace. Cut off the buds for the composition, leaving a stem 8-10 cm long (depending on the thickness of the sponge). And then just stick the flowers tightly into the blank one by one to hide it completely.
