《How to Make a Ball Bouquet》

First, here are the materials you will need＊

① Round Styrofoam

② Artificial flowers and tsumami zaiku

③ Decorative string (handle)

④ Wire

⑤ Tassels and other decorations

All materials can be easily found at a 100-yen shop♩

Here’s how to make it＊

① First, attach the handle to the Styrofoam

(It's recommended to hook the string onto the wire and insert the handle into the Styrofoam, then reinforce the base with a glue gun!)

② Attach tassels to the Styrofoam on the opposite side of the handle

(Like the handle, attach it with wire and reinforce it with a glue gun)

③ Cut the stems of the artificial flowers to about 2–3 cm and insert them into the Styrofoam evenly

This completes the ball bouquet♡

The ball bouquet seems surprisingly easy to make, doesn’t it?♡

Next, I will introduce cute designs of bouquet balls for different kimonos♩

① Ball Bouquet Suited for Shiromuku

For shiromuku, a ball bouquet in white + green is recommended♡

If the ball bouquet is pure white, it may blend in with the shiromuku, but adding green makes it stand out and enhances the bride's charm♩

Incorporating orchids into the ball bouquet is also lovely＊ The combination of shiromuku and orchids is elegant and truly adorable♩

For brides who want to create a Western-style trendy atmosphere even while wearing shiromuku, a ball bouquet of gypsophila is also recommended♡

② Ball Bouquet Suited for Iro-Uchikake

When matching with iro-uchikake, choosing colors from the design of the uchikake will create a sense of unity in your ball bouquet♩

A round ball bouquet made solely of pom-pom chrysanthemums suits an ornate iro-uchikake beautifully♡

③ Ball Bouquet Suited for Light-Colored Kimonos

For light-colored kimonos like pink shiromuku or white uchikake, or pastel color uchikake, a ball bouquet in soft hues is delightful＊

Incorporating more greenery helps maintain a natural appearance without being overly sweet♩

Adding pastel-colored pom-pom chrysanthemums with orchids creates a vibrant ambiance♡

Using flowers with many petals gives an elegant and trendy impression＊

④ Ball Bouquet Suited for Traditional Kimonos

Finally, we will introduce a ball bouquet that pairs well with traditional kimonos＊

A ball bouquet made of decorative marbles instead of flowers perfectly captures a vintage feel.

Adding hydrangeas and dahlias with orchids can convey a sense of gracefulness♡

A ball bouquet made using traditional craft techniques such as tsumami zaiku also pairs excellently with vintage kimonos◎
