Do you know about wrist bouquets?

A wrist bouquet is exactly as the name suggests—a bouquet worn on the wrist.

There are surprisingly many moments during a reception when attention is drawn to the bride’s hands, such as for toasting, cake cutting, and reading her letter.

To add a touch of elegance to their hands, many brides choose to make wrist bouquets by hand♡

Taking inspiration from senior brides, let’s DIY a wrist bouquet with your favorite flowers and design ♩ I’ll introduce two patterns: an easy version and an advanced version of the making process＊

＜Easy Version＞ DIY Wrist Bouquet ♩

The simplest way to make a wrist bouquet is to stick flowers onto a base bracelet with strong adhesive or a glue gun. Even those who are not very handy should be able to do this♩

＜Advanced Version＞ DIY Wrist Bouquet ♩

For this version, attach a cardboard base to a commercially available bracelet, and then stick flowers and ribbons onto it＊ The only difference from the easy version is whether or not to use a base.

Step ①＊Necessary materials include a buckle (something you can pass through the bracelet), the flowers and leaves for the wrist bouquet, ribbon, an elastic bead bracelet, glue gun, wrapping tie or wire with artificial flower stems, and cardboard.
