Since my daughter isn't exactly a little girl anymore, I was having a hard time looking for a flower girl hair wreath that fits her. The ones stores carry are mostly for toddlers and only comes in white or ivory. I'm looking for blush color. That's when I decided to just make it.
I made a trip to Flora Dec to buy blush ribbon for our tea party favors and saw these flowers on sale. I wasn't sure the color was going to match Kaylee's dress but oh well, I'll take the risk for $6.
First I just attached the 6 strands together, but it seemed so bulky and heavy. So I detached the flowers and leaves from the bunch and twisted them in a single strand. It worked!

I glued the ribbon inside the wreath ring to hide the wires and to make it more comfortable for the girls. Since the hot glue goes through the ribbon, I used a plastic knife to press it so I wouldn't burn my fingers.
And it's done!
It took about 20-30 minutes to do. Not only I saved $35 for the two flower girls, the wreaths fit the our little ladies and look perfectly with the dress.
Now I plan to put the wreath in a shadow box after the wedding and maybe a photo of the bride and flower girls as a nice keepsake. Stay tune on how it turns out!
