What kind of ball bouquet do you want to make? Here are some cute, temari-style ball bouquet designs to introduce to you＊

① Standard! Ball bouquet made of flowers＊

When we think of bouquets, we think of flowers! There are many types of flowers, so you want to find the one that perfectly matches your outfit ♡

For a resort wedding, a tropical-style ball bouquet made with plumeria♩ The matching headpiece in vivid pink and yellow is sure to stand out on the beach ♡

A ball bouquet made by gathering a lot of vibrant red flowers has a pearl detail on the ribbon, making it suitable for a wedding dress too＊

② Ball bouquet made of fabric＊

You can also make a ball bouquet with fabric fake flowers! This is made from felt, one by one ♡ The unique softness of felt is adorable ♡

This bouquet utilizes the technique of tsumami zaiku, which has been passed down since the Edo period＊ It’s just perfect for a Japanese wedding ♡ The crepe-like design is completely Japanese＊

③ Luxurious arrangement with mizuhiki＊

One charm of the ball bouquet is that you can arrange it not only with flowers but also with mizuhiki ♡

Just by creating mizuhiki in a Japanese pattern, it greatly enhances the Japanese atmosphere＊ The similar colors create a sense of unity, and I want to match it with a light-colored uchikake♡

Here’s how to make it♡

You can easily make a ball bouquet yourself ♩ All you need is 《your favorite artificial flowers, a spherical foam base, floral wire, floral tape, string, tassels, a glue gun, glue sticks, and pliers》 ♩

Attach the flowers to the wire and insert them into the foam sphere until the foam is no longer visible♩ The tip is to first insert larger flowers and then fill the gaps with smaller ones♡

A go-to for brides-to-be! You can buy materials here ♩

Many brides-to-be recommend "Tokyo-do" in Yotsuya, where there are numerous types of artificial flowers! It seems they have about 5000 items, so you’re sure to find flowers that match your image ♡

Here’s the Tokyo-do website ♡

I want to do a pre-wedding shoot with the ball bouquet ♡

Use the ball bouquet you made for your pre-wedding shoot ♡ A bouquet in soft colors contrasts beautifully with a shiro-muku (white kimono) and gives a gentle atmosphere!

Taking a photo with it resting on both of your hands is also very lovely＊ A wonderful shot that can only be achieved during a pre-wedding shoot ♡

After the pre-wedding shoot, turn it into a topiary and display it at home!

The ball bouquet used during the pre-wedding shoot transforms into a topiary object ♩ Since it’s made with artificial flowers, you can display it in your new home forever♡

It’s also cute to use it in a wedding welcome booth＊ Let’s display the pre-wedding photos together ♩

The ball bouquet becomes a ring pillow! It’s so nice that such a cute ring pillow can later be displayed at home ♡

The temari-style bouquet is too cute ♡

The ball bouquet retains its cute shape for a long time, so brides-to-be who are wearing traditional attire should definitely try it out ♡
