The benefits of using crepe paper flowers for your wedding are many. Aside from the cost, color selection and being able to chose the exact flower(s) you want regardless of the season. The bouquets and centerpieces you can create are endless.
In this article we will look at a few of those endless creations you make with crepe paper flowers from the bridal bouquet to the reception hall. You will need a good paper flower making book to guide you on your flower making journey.
Let us start with the bouquet; there are a good amount of styles a bride can choose from the single arm bouquet to the extra large cascading bouquet. Once you decide which style bouquet you want to carry down the aisle, then you can choose your flowers, colors and any “extras” such as beads, greenery and other decorative items that you want in the bouquet. Once your bouquet is made then you can move on to making the maid of honors, bridesmaids and the flower girls. Next will be the corsages and boutonnieres. Your bridal party, parents, and grandparents flowers should then be complete and you can start with the flowers for the ceremony.
For the ceremony you may want flowers for the pews, the church alter and the outside of the church or the place you tie the knot in. The best reason for making your own flowers is you are not limited to the selection of flowers or the colors and they are a lot easier to take with you to the reception hall. You do not have to worry about the petals falling off if they flowers are bumped into or when they are removed from the pews or alter. So there is no “clean up.”
Many brides decide to use the ceremony flowers for the reception as well, which is a cost effective way to save money even on paper flowers. You will need to assign a few non bridal party members to collect and bring the flowers to the reception area and set them up.
Once the flowers for the ceremony are done you will want to work on the reception ones. You may want centerpieces for the tables, flowers for the cake and gift table as well and you may even want flowers as gifts for all your guests.
Crepe paper flowers for your wedding are an excellent idea for many reasons, several of which you can most likely think of yourself. Flowers add the perfect touch of class and elegance to any wedding large or small. Candle centerpieces with flowing flowers are stunning, just be sure to use a hurricane style candle holder so your paper flowers are safe from the flame of the candles. Another great centerpiece idea is the traditional centerpiece using white as the dominate color and the color scheme you chose for your wedding. These two ideas are just a few commonly used wedding centerpieces when you make your own flowers you have the ability to arrange them to see how they will look in different arrangements. Making paper flowers is easy and fun.
