Crafting a Ribbon Bouquet

Categories Inspiration

At the bridal shower I attended this past weekend, the illustrious aunt of the bride-to-be carried on the tradition of assembling the ribbon bouquet.   She took the ribbons, tulle and bows from all the gifts and attached them to a paper plate, arranging the largest bows in the middle and fanning outward from there.

Christine, our beautiful bride-to-be can now carry her pretty ribbon bouquet down the aisle at the wedding rehearsal.

Brides are typically thrown at least 2-3 wedding showers, right?  That said, with all of those ribbons, bows and tulle, all of your bridesmaids could carry bouquets at the wedding rehearsal.

Ribbon bouquets are fun keepsakes that will remind you of all the love you received at your wedding showers!  Plus, they’re functional, making great centerpieces at the rehearsal dinner too.

Tips and Hints for creating a ribbon bouquet: Make sure to have on hand: paper plate, scissors, glue tabs, napkins and optional: floral tape, wire and bouquet holder (napkins are often used for the holder).  Your handy crafter will appreciate it!

    Our most recent bride was nice enough to invite Cathy to a bridal shower where she upheld this tradition. :)
