Flower wands have already become a staple celebration item at overseas weddings ♡ The usage scene is similar to Japanese ribbon wands, where you simply wave the flower wands toward the newlyweds as they come out of the chapel after the ceremony. *
The sight of flowers and ribbons swaying together is truly beautiful and glamorous! There's no doubt that the use of flower wands will increase in Japanese weddings from now on. *

【Easy DIY for brides】 How to make Flower Wands *
Making flower wands is very simple. * The materials you need are artificial flowers, ribbon, and wire!
Just thread the wire through the end of the ribbon, and wrap that wire around the area just below the flower bud! ♡ (It's good to use pliers to close the gaps in the wire and secure it.) Then, add bells or extra ribbon for decoration as you like! *
The idea of attaching a single white rose with leaves and tulle and ribbon is super cute! ♡ Matching the colors of the stick and ribbon in elegant tones is also a nice point. *
A design that features fluffy pink flowers with a simple gray bow is also discovered! The combination of pink and gray gives off a mature and cute vibe despite its simplicity. ♡
A luxurious combination of Flower Wands, Ribbon Wands, and Star Wands! ♡ Decorating small flowers around the main pink flower is also a stylish point. *
