Get Creative With Your Bouquet Bindings
Glamour Bride Advise August 27th. 2011, 1:26amBouquet wrappings can add a subtle and unique touch to your florals. Instead of wrapping your bouquet in new satin or velvet try out one of these ideas: Use a piece of vintage fabric to bind and brighten up your florals. You can find a variety old pieces in different styles at consignment or antique shops.
Add a personal touch to your wedding by reusing a piece of fabric that is meaningful to you. Use the trim from the blouse you wore on your first date, or material from your grandmother’s gown.
Burlap can create a rustic look wrapped around seasonal blooms. Jute is another sustainable fabric that is similar to burlap but has a lighter weave. This is a great option if you are looking for something a bit more elegant than burlap.
You can wrap a piece of fabric from the train or hem of your dress. Not only does this guarantee a perfect match, but you will save money in the process. Handmade lace can double as something old, or perhaps you can use antique lace from your mother’s veil or another family member’s bit of clothing.
