Non Traditional Non Floral Boutonniere Tutorial
Since my bouquet and my bridesmaid’s bouquets are non
traditional and non floral there was no way the guys would be wearing flowers.
From the very beginning of my wedding planning I proclaimed I would not have
any flowers! Don’t get me wrong I love fresh flowers but I always get so sad at
the end of a wedding and all the flowers either get dumped or you have to beg
people to take them home. Since 90% of my wedding is out of state or country
there is no way they are taking a floral arraignment home! I messed around with
different styles and materials for my non floral bouquets and boutonnieres and
this is what I came up with!
Things you will need:
- Ostrich Feathers
- White Thin Malleable Floral Wire
- Buttons
- Hot Glue
- Pin with a pearl head
- Ribbon
Step 1:
Get your buttons and lay them out. Take your thin malleable
floral wire and leave a “steam”. Thread the wire through your buttons and
thread the wire back down toward the steam and start wrapping the wire tightly
around the steam. Use your pliers to make sure the buttons are firmly in place
and the wire is firmly wrapped. Make 4-5 button flowers for each boutonniere.
Step 2:
Get your ostrich feathers and cut them down to size. Place your button flowers on top of your
feather and position the steams and glue them down with your hot glue gun. Wrap
your ribbon around the base covering the glue and wrap it up the steam with the ribbon and glue it to the back of the boutonniere.
Step 3:
With a pearl head pin push the pin through the ribbon and the boutonniere can be pinned to any suite jacket or tux.
It is an easy as that! Thanks for reading and following!!
