Garden themed weddings are absolutely beautiful and if you are getting married in the fall or winter seasons you may not have a garden available to you. However, you do have the option of creating your very own beautiful garden themed wedding with the help of crepe paper and a good flower making book. With these two items, you will be amazed at how simple it is for you to learn how to make paper flowers for a garden themed wedding.
Before you learn how to make paper flowers for a garden themed wedding, you will want to decide on what type of flowers and the colors of the flowers you want to use. Then you will need to plan out your “garden” we will look at some ideas for both an indoor and outdoor garden theme. Even if you are getting married in the spring or summer, you may want to get married at your home or have your reception in a hall so you will still need to bring the garden to your back yard or inside.
Outdoor & Indoor Garden Wedding
Once you have decided on your flowers and the colors you will need to decide how you want to create a garden look. Let us say for example you are getting married on a beautiful sunny afternoon. You can create a garden effect to run alongside both sides of the aisle you will walk down. You will just need to be sure and attach ribbon or lace something of that nature to the chairs so that after the ceremony the guests do not step out of the row into your flower garden not only would that crush your flowers but a guest could fall and get hurt. Therefore, your guests will have to enter the row of seats from the outside (away from the isle.) You can create your garden lined aisle a few ways the first is by using windowsill planters. You may want to paint the planters to compliment the color theme for the wedding. You will need a small piece of Styrofoam to stick the stems of your crepe paper flowers in. Once you have all your planters filled you can line them up so that they are touching or leave a small space in-between each one whatever look you like better.
Creating a flowery archway at the end of your isle will also enhance your garden theme. This is easily done by interning the flowers in-between the small holes in the trellis. If you use enough flowers it also will make a great background for pictures.
For an indoor wedding you can still use both of the outdoor ideas but if you want you can also make an assortment of potted hanging flowers and attach them to the ceiling (just make sure no one bumps their heads on them.) You can also set the windowsill style planters around the dance floor, on your cake table, the bridal table or any place else, you would like. It does take some imagination to come up with ideas on how to make paper flowers for your garden themed wedding.
