Making a crepe paper flower is very easy. Making the flowers into a bouquet is just as easy and allows you to use your imagination. You do not need a special occasion or holiday to make a paper flower bouquet, although they are very popular at weddings and for special occasions. Flowers are a nice just because... gift. They show someone you care about them and are thinking of them. This is most likely why paper flowers are so special when received.
Simple bouquets for a wedding include the arm bouquet, which is two or three single stem flowers attach by a piece of lace or ribbon and carried in the crook of the arm. The best thing about an arm bouquet is the focus is placed on the flowers. It does not matter if you use roses, calla lilies, lilies, or carnations for this bouquet. It is a simple yet elegant bouquet. The entire bridal party can carry an arm bouquet including the bride although her bouquet usually has a few more flowers than the rest of the female bridal parties bouquets.
These flower bouquets also make a nice home decor piece. While many people confuse a bouquet and a centerpiece as being the same thing they are not the same. A centerpiece is much larger than a bouquet. A bouquet is designed to be smaller and not as much of a focal point than a centerpiece you would place on your dinning room table during a party. Although you could place the bouquet there if you wanted to. A bouquet is better placed on a coffee table, fire place mantel or used as a centerpiece for an afternoon lunch with the girls. It is designed to add a touch of color and elegance to a small event when used in the home.
Paper flowers for formal events are a nice added touch. These can be used to decorate the tables during a bridal or baby shower, a small family gathering/meeting or even a work related meeting. The bouquet in this essence is simply there to add color and beauty to the area it is placed in.
When presenting paper flowers as a gift you can present them in a small vase or wrapped with ribbon. If you where going to visit a sick or injured friend at their home or in the hospital a small paper flower bouquet would be a nice gift. If you have a co-worker celebrating a birthday this would also be an appropriate occasion for a flower bouquet.
Anytime you do not want to go over board with a gift, decoration or bridal bouquet then a simple crepe paper flower bouquet is perfect! Big is not always better it is the amount of time, energy and love you put into something that really matters.
Why not find out how wonderful it can feel to give something to someone that you have made with your own hands and heart! Christmas is almost here so this could be the perfect time to try your hand.
