The beauty of a paper flower centerpiece is that you can choose the flowers and colors you want to put in the centerpiece and it will last for a very long time. You can even use one standard centerpiece for example a centerpiece that has white has a dominate color then for each season or holiday you can change the colored flowers and add a few holiday or seasonal decorations.
You can also make paper flower centerpieces as a gift for a new neighbor. With this, we suggest you use neutral colors unless you have already seen their decor then you can use the colors in their home decor. However, make sure you know that the color blue will fit in the decor before you make a blue centerpiece and find out everything they own is green and yellow. You do not want your beautiful paper flower centerpiece to clash.
You can also use paper flowers for weddings including the bridal bouquet, the female and male bridal party’s flowers right down to the bride’s hair. If you are very creative, you can decorate a cake with flowers too.
The wonderful thing about paper flowers if you become good enough at making them you can sell them at craft fairs, or even open your own paper flower shop. Flowers especially ones that do not come naturally in the color a bride wants for her wedding are very popular. Taking into account that crepe paper is inexpensive a person could make a very nice income making paper flowers even if they made a minimal amount per year. The holidays are also a very popular time for flowers. Hopefully these paper flower ideas will give you some idea of great projects you could make for yourself or family and friends and even if you are considering starting your own business.
There are so many things you can make with a paper flower all you need to do is flip through a few magazines and have a little creativity and you can be making the most beautiful creations in no time.
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.
