Ribbon Roses | DIY Flowers | Wedding Bouquet Ideas | How To Make Easy Faux Fabric Floral Arrangement

Hello again, happy Saturday!

Yes, I did indeed create my own wedding bouquet by making a ton of these ribbon roses. I also made my bridesmaid’s bouquets which doubled as their gifts. My colour scheme was burnt orange to go with my husband’s family tartan so my bouquet was full of oranges, bronzes, golds etc and the maids’ had ivory, cream and white.

For my wedding roses I didn't use silver stranded wire, I just used plain green floral wire which saved a lot of time but meant I couldn't add the little ball decorations in the middle, so swings and roundabouts really 🤷🏼‍♀️.

I bought those bouquet handle oasis things from Hobbycraft (the British equivalent of Michael's I guess) and stuck the wire ends into the foam. To keep them in place instead of them just sliding back out (which they kept wanting to do) I bent the ends of the wire stems back on themselves to create little hooks to latch onto the foam which sorted the issue out.

I actually ended up making so many ribbon roses that I had loads left over which we decided to decorate the church with as well as my cake. It really helped keep costs down and I thoroughly enjoyed making them. It’s such an addictive and easy craft for anyone to enjoy 👍🏻.

Let me know if this is something you’d like to try!
