How to Make a Bib Bouquet

A bib bouquet is a unique and eye-catching alternative to a traditional wedding bouquet. It is made by attaching flowers to a piece of fabric that is then draped over the bride's shoulder. Bib bouquets are often very whimsical and romantic, and they can be customized to match any wedding theme.

Materials:

* Flowers of your choice

* Floral wire

* Floral tape

* A piece of fabric (such as tulle, lace, or silk)

* Scissors

* A hot glue gun

* Ribbon

* Pins

Instructions:

1. Prepare the flowers. Cut the stems of the flowers to about 6 inches long. Remove any leaves that will be in the way of the wire.

2. Attach the flowers to the wire. Wrap the floral wire around the stem of each flower, just below the flower head. Twist the wire tightly to secure the flower.

3. Tape the flowers together. Use floral tape to wrap around the stems of the flowers, just below the wire. This will help to hold the flowers in place and prevent them from drooping.

4. Arrange the flowers into a bouquet. Hold the flowers in your hands and arrange them into a bouquet shape. Make sure the flowers are facing in the same direction.

5. Attach the bouquet to the fabric. Lay the fabric out on a flat surface. Place the bouquet in the center of the fabric and wrap the fabric around it. Gather the fabric at the top of the bouquet and tie it closed with a piece of ribbon.

6. Add decorations. Use hot glue to attach any additional decorations to the bouquet, such as pearls, rhinestones, or lace.

7. Pin the bouquet to the bride's shoulder. Use pins to secure the bouquet to the bride's shoulder. Make sure the bouquet is positioned so that it covers the bride's shoulder and drapes down her back.

Tips:

* When choosing flowers for your bib bouquet, select flowers that are in season and will hold up well.

* Consider the weight of the bouquet when choosing the fabric. A heavy bouquet will require a sturdier fabric, such as lace or silk.

* Be creative and have fun with your bib bouquet. There are no rules, so you can create a bouquet that is unique and personal to you.
