This past weekend, I finally finished a wedding project my subconscious has been berating me about for the last few weeks. Seriously, I had a dream that my bouquet wasn't done yet and I was frantically trying to finish it in the back of the church before I walked down the aisle. We're not even getting married in a church...
Anyways, to put my subconscious to rest, I got down to business and finished my bouquet.
Since January, it's looked like this:
tied together with asparagus ties with the tags still attached.
We took off the asparagus ties and tags...
and then decided how long I wanted the stems to be.
Keegan got his trusty tin snips...
And snipped every...
last...
stem. As you can tell, they were a bit hard to cut, but he did it.
Perfect length for me since Keegan has monster hands.
Next, we wrapped the stems in floral tape and a cream ribbon. It helped that Keegan has had practice wrapping tennis rackets. He was so careful and made sure that everything lined up perfectly.
Ta-da! One bouquet for under $30. The 7 or 8 stems of flowers were about $25 at Hobby Lobby, and then the floral tape and cream ribbon was under $5 total.
I'm still on the hunt to add a locket to honor passed loved ones, but it's basically done! Now my subconscious can rest easy.
