Initial Objects are a Great Way to Show Your Personality ♡
Hello, I am Haruno Tsuzaki, the editor of marry* Initial objects can be used for pre-wedding photos and are also great decorating items for the reception area or the head table on your wedding day.
Since the initials of the two of you are like an extension of yourselves, if possible, you would want to fill it with your personalities and create a one-of-a-kind design, right? ♡
Flower-Made "Initial Flowers" Are Just Too Cute ♡
The classic way to create initial flowers is to attach a veil or bow tie to the wooden initials sold at stores like 3coins, coucou, and 100 yen shops.
But that’s just not exciting enough... For brides who want something different, I recommend this "Initial Flower" filled with lots and lots of flowers! ♡
Regular initial objects are cute, but "Initial Flowers" are even more three-dimensional, colorful, and radiantly adorable, don’t you think??
You can use your favorite flowers, so you can match the types and colors of flowers used in your bouquet or table decorations, which is wonderful♩ You can create a design that really conveys the theme and concept of your wedding! ♡
[DIY Wedding] How to Make Initial Flowers*
Here is how to make Initial Flowers*
Create a frame out of cardboard, insert a sponge inside the frame, and then insert artificial flowers into the sponge, just like you would with fresh flowers in an oasis*
The trick to making it beautifully and sturdily is to cut the stems of the artificial flowers longer and insert them deeply, securing them with a glue gun ♡
This is a solid method for creating them. While you could probably just insert the artificial flowers only into the cardboard, if you're worried about strength, I recommend this method.
The bigger the artificial flowers, the bigger the alphabet object used as the base should be, otherwise it won’t be cute, so I recommend making an original base with letters rather than using 100 yen shop blocks*
\Design Examples You Want to Imitate/ Initial Flower Design Ideas*
An idea of attaching felt corsages made of artificial flowers* It’s uncommon to create an initial object from fabric, not just flowers, right? ♡
Initial flowers made with romantic pink and cream yellow artificial flowers ♡ Mixing in a little bit of green leaves creates an elegant atmosphere ♡
When you fill it with lots of petals, like dahlias and mums, it gives a gorgeous and round adorable look ♩
Although it’s not a flower, an initial object made of succulents looks stylish too! The cute, plump succulents are quite popular and have many fans*
