Natural & beautiful: flowers are the most beautiful decorative elements and accessories for the big day!

In our instructions, we show you how to make the bride's hairstyle special with a flower crown. Match it with a lapel bouquet for the groom. Ideas for the decoration of the wedding ceremony or in the church as well as thank you cards, menu cards and greeting cards are also presented here.

This is how you create the Flower Crown or the Lapel Bouquet:
Shorten the dried flowers a little. Cut the desired length from the satin ribbon. To do this, calculate the length as follows: Head circumference + approx. 40 cm. In the middle of the satin ribbon, knot two bamboo cords approx. 50 cm long. Now tie the dried flowers to the satin ribbon from the centre outwards with a bamboo cord. It is up to you whether you tie the flowers individually or as an overlapping bunch. In our decoration example, the flowers have been tied on individually. Pay attention to how far you tie them (head circumference)! Knot the end of each bamboo cord. Repeat the knotting of the flowers with the other bamboo cord to the other end.

Finally, wrap the end of the dried flowers with another satin ribbon. Repeat the same on the other side.

Make a small bouquet for the groom and wrap the stems with satin ribbon. Attach a brooch pin to the back of the bouquet.

This type of corsage is also called a boutonniere. It is a small flower arrangement that is attached to the groom's suit. The boutonniere is the flower attached to the jacket lapel by gentlemen in the buttonhole or on the fabric.
This is how you create the beautiful chair decoration:
Assemble the dried flowers into a bouquet. Cut about 1 metre of bamboo cord and tie it to the back of the bouquet. The long ribbons are needed to attach the bouquet to the pew or chair at the wedding ceremony. Then tie the satin ribbon around the bouquet and close with a bow. Shorten the flowers if necessary.
For a special card:
Greeting card/menu card/thank you card:

Fold the kraft paper in half for the folded card. Cut a sheet of white cardboard and glue it to the kraft paper card.

Make a small bouquet from the different dried flowers and tie it with the satin ribbon. Fix to the card with craft glue.

Cut out the butterflies, fold them in the middle and place them on the card with glue. Punch out a circle, stick or write the sticker on it and then stick it on with 3D adhesive pads for a beautiful 3D effect.

This card can be redesigned for any purpose. For example, with "Menu" written on it, the menu sequence can be shown on the inside. Or you can use the romantic card to send your guests a thank you for a wonderful day.
