I only have two bridesmaids, and I decided to make their bouquets since I wanted something that coordinated with my brooch bouquet.

 

Supplies to make 2 bridesmaids bouquets:

(3) 10†real touch cymbidium orchid bouquets (http://www.afloral.com/10-Cymbidium-Orchid-Bouquet-in-Green-Burgundy)

14 real touch calla lilies (from Hobby Lobby)

2 bunches plastic grass stuff (not sure of the name, Iâ€m sorry! From Hobby Lobby)

Glass beads on stems (http://www.afloral.com/10mm-Faceted-Bouquet-Beads-in-Silver-12-Pieces)

18†20-gauge green wire

Floral tape

Scissors

Needle-nosed pliers

Wire cutters

Glue gun

Ribbon for handles

Pins

Rhinestone initials, $1 each in the Oopsie section (www.bouquetjewels.com)

 

 

Each bridesmaidâ€s bouquet got 7 callas and 13-14 orchids, a rhinestone initial and 7 of these grass/bead swoopy things.

 

 

1. For each of the grass-bead swoops, I took two pieces of grass and one glass bead on 12†wire, and taped them with floral tape, onto a folded piece of 20-gauge wire.

2. Tape three orchids together to make the center of the bouquet, and tape the callas around them. Tape the remaining orchids around the outside, alternating with the grass/bead swoops.

3. Trim the stems a few inches below the tape, and seal with hot glue.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
