Watch master class online: Create a delicate wedding bracelet from fresh flowers

Every girl invited to a wedding dreams of looking bright and beautiful, but first of all this applies to witnesses, or, in other words, bridesmaids. Girls play an important role in the wedding, because they accompany the bride everywhere and help her on this important day: they set the tone for the event, actively participate in competitions and simply decorate this unforgettable holiday! Flower bracelets for bridesmaids (as in the photo below) perfectly complement and unite the festive images of beautiful nymphs.

If there are several witnesses, then they can shine at the wedding in identical dresses - this tradition came to us from the West. But the presence of identical outfits is not mandatory; however, it is desirable that certain common features in the appearance of the girlfriends indicate their status. One option to distinguish your girlfriends from the rest of the guests could be the same or similar decoration of flowers or satin ribbons on the wrist. If your friend is alone, the bracelet will serve as an original addition to her look.

General principles for choosing a floral bracelet

The bracelet should match the look of the bridesmaid. The color of the flower should match the color of her dress and other accessories. This wrist decoration will go well with a flower in your hair. For the look, it is better to choose a classic dress made of light fabric (silk, chiffon) and natural makeup.

Bracelets made of fresh flowers for bridesmaids, like all other details of the image, should be combined with the appearance of the hero of the occasion, as well as with the format of the wedding. The color scheme of the bracelet should match the color scheme of the bride's bouquet.

Order wedding accessories

You can make a bracelet for bridesmaids yourself, but it is better to entrust this work to professionals. The florists of the FLOWER POINT workshop are able to create real works of art in the form of exquisite decorations from fresh flowers with the addition of such decorative elements as:

How to make

It is not difficult to make such beauty. To simplify the task and save time, you can use ready-made flowers for the bridesmaids’ hands as a base - you can buy them at a craft store.

The decoration can also be made from wire (well decorated), from a string of beads, as well as from satin ribbons, velvet decorative elastic bands and other improvised materials, showing creative imagination and dexterity. Fortunately, in specialized stores you can find many different devices that are suitable as a base.

Satin, satin, lace and other similar fabrics are suitable for decoration, depending on the taste and wishes of the bridesmaid and the hero of the occasion.

The main detail of the bracelet is, of course, flowers. You can make them yourself using instructions from the Internet, or you can attach purchased artificial or live buds to the base of the bracelet.

They look the most romantic, but it is important to carefully choose the variety so that the “ray of light and joy” in the bracelet does not wither and lose all appearance before the end of the wedding celebration, which can extremely upset the bride, groom, her bridesmaids and other guests.

A good option is flowers made of polymer clay. They look like the real thing, but you don’t have to worry about their freshness and condition. A hand decoration with a flower made of polymer clay will serve as a good souvenir and memory of the wedding.

In its most general form, the scheme for making an unusual decoration looks like this: you need to take the base and decorate it well with the selected material, and then attach the main element of the bracelet (a flower or composition), after which the component part is well fastened to the base. You can also make cute flowers from satin ribbons for the bridesmaids.

What tones to use

The choice of color depends on what dress the bridesmaid will wear, the time of year of the formal part, as well as the style of the wedding. Classic flowers for the bridesmaids should be in white or any pastel colors , but in some cases bright colors will be appropriate: red, blue, green, etc. In any case, the choice of color should be agreed upon with the main character of the celebration.

Interesting video: step-by-step instructions

To make an unusual hand decoration for your bridesmaids you will need:

artificial flowers;
satin ribbon 1.2 cm wide;
nylon tape 1.7 cm wide;
glue gun;
scissors;
a piece of felt;
wire cutters;
lighter.

There are many video tutorials on how to make bracelets for bridesmaids. One of them is below.

So, to make artificial flower bracelets for bridesmaids:

Cut 39 cm of each ribbon (nylon and satin).
Lighten the edges of the ribbon with a lighter.
Fold the satin ribbon in half and find the middle. Spread the middle of the tape from the wrong side with glue and secure it with nylon tape.
Cut a small piece of felt the width of the satin ribbon and glue it to the middle of the satin ribbon on the other side.
Decide what flowers you want to use for the bracelet. Cut off the heads, small inflorescences and three leaves with pliers.
Lightly trim selected buds into a semicircle shape.
Glue the sheets and then the flowers to the blank. Pressing them tightly to the workpiece, they must be glued one after another as quickly as possible, until the glue dries, so that it sets well.
Fix the inflorescences in the composition. Then let the glue harden. The bracelet is ready!

On a note! You don't have to use flowers. There are many other ideas for bracelets. We discussed them in more detail here.

Now you know how to make a flower for the bridesmaids' hands with your own hands.

Option with fabric accessory

Another interesting type of decoration is bridesmaid bracelets with fabric flowers, as in the photo on the left. Moreover, the buds can be bought ready-made or made with your own hands. It does not take a lot of time!

To make a rose from fabric, you need to take a template (a circle of small diameter), cut it out of paper, transfer it to fabric and cut out 10 layers according to the template. You can take one type of fabric, for example, white, or different colors for alternation. To cut out circles faster, fold the material several times, fasten with a pin and cut out several pieces at once.

Each circle cut from fabric easily turns into a petal. To do this, fold the circle twice to make a quarter of a circle, and make several stitches with thread closer to the corner of the workpiece.

Next, the paper template is taken as a basis, and the petals are glued onto it so that each next layer extends slightly beyond the edges of the previous one. The resulting flower is glued to the tape. The length of the ribbon should be long enough to tie flowers on the wrists of the bridesmaids.

Interesting! Most often, three flowers are used to decorate bracelets, but you can also make one large one.

Bracelets for bridesmaids: newfangled DIY accessories

When choosing a bracelet for a bridesmaid, you should familiarize yourself with some rules, namely:

Harmonious combination with the wedding style - in pursuit of the perfect bracelets, do not forget to match the accessories with the decor and design of the celebration. For example, bracelets with pendants (in Indian style) will be superfluous for a classic wedding ceremony, bracelets made of beads and satin ribbons are not suitable for a baroque wedding, and exquisite arrangements of roses are inappropriate for a wedding in a rustic style.
Matching the bride's bouquet does not mean that the floral arrangements on the bridesmaids' wrists should exactly repeat it, but it is definitely worth choosing similar elements or using the same flowers. At the same time, it is important that the bride’s attribute attracts attention first, and only then the bridesmaids’ jewelry. Therefore, the design of the bracelets should be simpler than the wedding bouquet.
Suitable size - choose bracelets with adjustable wrist volume, because one size may not be suitable for all girls. Ribbons for bridesmaids will solve the size problem.
Do not focus on brightness - bridesmaid bracelets should gently emphasize the wedding style, but in no case attract undue attention.
High-quality execution - think first of all that the accessory should not lose its original appearance throughout the celebration. Agree, bracelets made of wilted flowers or tattered satin ribbons are unlikely to cause delight, and will also spoil wedding photographs and videos.

The Svadebka.ws portal has prepared interesting step-by-step master classes for you - original flower bracelets for bridesmaids. The simplicity of execution will inspire you to make your own accessories.

Bracelets made from living plants

So:

To make such a bracelet, you first need to select and prepare flowers. Their stems should be cut as short as possible, and the bud should be pierced with thin wire. If there are several flowers, you need to make a beautiful composition out of them, fasten them with wire and wrap them with temp tape.
You need to make a hole in a fairly wide satin ribbon and insert the buds there, and then secure it with glue.
When the glue dries, you need to seal the remaining hole with a piece of tape so that the flowers are tightly fixed. After this, you need to tie the ribbon on your hand in a beautiful bow.
In order to make a flower bracelet for the bridesmaids' hands, you can use additional elements, for example, leaves, small twigs, and berries. They need to be shortened, attached to the main flower with wire or a special floral tape, and the base of the bouquet should be wrapped with lace or satin ribbon, which will serve as the base of the bracelet.
If the flower arrangement turns out to be large enough and it cannot be threaded through the hole in the bracelet’s satin ribbon, you can simply glue the resulting miniature bouquet to the bracelet.

Idea with roses

If the bridesmaid wants to create a bright, memorable image, you can make a bracelet with fresh roses. To do this, you will need rose spray (a branch with many small pink inflorescences), as well as a plant called ashy cross - also known in flower shops and among florists as “Dusty miller” - this is a beautiful twig with a small silvery fluff.

First you need to glue a branch of “Dusty Miller” to a small circle of cardboard. Then pink buds are glued on (instead you can use daisies, tulips, lilies, gerberas and others, but roses look the most impressive). Once the cross and roses are attached, the cardboard should not be visible.
Then you need to take the fishing line and measure your wrist, then cut the fishing line twice as large to wrap the bracelet around your wrist twice. Treat the edges of the bracelet with glue, take a satin ribbon and carefully wrap the bracelet with ribbon along its entire length.
Find the middle of the bracelet, apply a little glue there and glue a cardboard circle with roses to the top of the bracelet, and attach the same cardboard circle to the bottom. Glue the two circles together so that the bracelet is between them.
Bend the product on your hand and admire the results of your efforts.

How to make a wedding bracelet from fresh flowers with your own hands (second master class)

To make a bracelet from fresh flowers you will need:

Flowers to choose from
Pliers
Thin wire
Tape tape
Scissors
A wide satin ribbon, about a meter long (depending on how big the bow you want to get in the end)
Thermal gun

The first steps of this method are very similar to method 1.

Step 1

Choosing fresh flowers for the bracelet. It is preferable to use three flowers to decorate your wrist, although if you want to be fashionable and modern, one large and bright flower will do!

Step 2

Just like in the first method, we pierce the buds with a wire loop.

Step 3

If we are using several flowers in a bracelet, we form them into small bouquets and twist the wire together. The wire must be wrapped with tape.

Step 4

A fundamental difference from the previous master class! We take a wide satin ribbon, make a hole in it, thread the flower stems through the hole and attach them to the ribbon with hot glue. We wait until it dries and cover the attachment point with a piece of tape, also using a heat gun.

Take the bracelet and tie it with a beautiful bow on your wrist, voila, you are beautiful!

Summary

As you can see from the instructions for making DIY wrist jewelry, making such a flower bracelet is quite easy: it only requires a small amount of time, some materials, patience, dexterity and accuracy. It's worth a try to see how easy it is! At the same time, the result of the bridesmaid’s efforts can distinguish her from the crowd of guests, become an unusual souvenir and preserve the memory of the wedding for many years to come.
