How to make a bracelet for bridesmaids with your own hands?

Hi all! From the first moment when I started doing weddings, I discovered Buketio, and thank God I did, because the perception of weddings of this professional team is in tune with mine.

There was no limit to my delight when my name was on the list of authors of this blog. And finally! Leaving everything behind, I am writing here.

My article, of course, is dedicated to weddings, where would we be without them, and specifically to bridesmaids, and even more specifically to bridesmaids’ accessories.

Actually, this is a Western tradition, like the tradition of girlfriends, but it’s beautiful, and if it’s beautiful, then you definitely need to think about where all this can be applied.

When I watched Hollywood films about teenagers, I saw a prom in almost every film. A girl is invited by a boy in love, come pick her up before the ball and Ah! with shaking hands he gives a box. I thought there was a flower there. Well, here’s a simple flower, this is how we used to sell orchids in boxes. But no! Everything turned out to be much more elegant. There is a tradition of a prom, and a young man who invited a classmate to the prom gives it to her, here opinions differ: some translate it as a boutonniere, others as a wrist corsage, but in fact it is a bracelet with fresh flowers. Cute? Charming!

Back to the wedding and the bridesmaids’ accessories, what does prom have to do with it, you ask, and I’ll answer, why not make such a flower bracelet for the bridesmaids?

A flower bracelet is an alternative to bridesmaids' bouquets, which has undeniable advantages: the girls' hands are free, suddenly in the process the bride needs to fix something, remove a curl of hair or take a glass of champagne, finally hug! And the free hands of your girlfriends can be used for other accessories.

Such a flower bracelet will cost less than a bouquet, which also speaks in its favor - after all, a wedding is not a cheap event. The bridesmaids can have one type of bracelets, and the bride has a more luxurious one. Original! Graceful! Elegantly!

These bracelets can be made using completely different materials: rhinestones, beads, feathers, braid. The corsage can be one flower, or maybe a mini bouquet. Flowers can be fresh, or they can be silk. The corsage can be attached to a ready-made bracelet, ribbon or lace. Everything is in your hands, wherever your imagination takes you.

You can order a corsage, or you can make it yourself.

Popular colors

In recent years, the organization of weddings united by a common color scheme has been in particular demand. As a rule, this is some bright color that contrasts perfectly with the bride’s white dress. Products of this color can decorate literally everything that surrounds the newlyweds on this day: bridesmaids' dresses, groomsmen's ties, flowers and napkins on tables, bows on chairs. This color can be a mandatory part of the dress code for guests; it can be present as decor on the bride’s dress and the groom’s suit. It is not surprising that the boutonnieres of the bridesmaids are subject to this trend.

Bright lilac

For several years in a row, lilac has been a popular color among almost all designers. Today he is not at the peak of his fame, but is still in incredible demand. Weddings decorated in different shades of lilac are found almost everywhere. The bridesmaids' bracelet in this color scheme can include both fresh flowers and those made by handicrafts. These can be spring field violets, lilacs, lupins, chrysanthemums, large and small roses and much more.

However, this color is gradually going out of fashion, so it’s worth considering whether it’s worth paying attention to it

Rich blue

Last summer's trend was a wedding with rich blue decor. In this color scheme, blue chrysanthemums, rare blue roses and rather expensive, but very original blue orchids were in particular demand. In nature, it is quite difficult to find deep blue flowers, so needlewomen often come to the rescue of girls. Blue color gives room for imagination. With its help, you can create unique compositions from felt or foamiran that will have no analogues.

Juicy green

A wedding in lush green colors is a solution for very brave people. The bride's bouquet at such a wedding can be decorated not only with flowers, but also with more unexpected components: glossy green apples, leaves and ribbons. For the witness’s bracelet, green satin and silk, green and light green peonies, delicate lilies of the valley with their large leaves, and white chamomile chrysanthemums with green cores would be quite appropriate. In addition, you can find rare selected green orchids that will be a wonderful decoration for any bracelet.

Deep marsala color

This complex deep color is difficult to even describe, much less maintain a single shade in the design of the entire wedding. That is why a wedding united by this color scheme will look completely original, very rich and will not be forgotten by any of the guests for many years. In our latitudes you can find only two plants whose flowers are suitable for such a celebration: peony and calla lilies. Bracelets with barely opened peony buds will look slightly bulky, but very unusual, and bracelets made of calla lilies will look expensive and elegant. In elite flower salons it is also possible to order orchids or roses artificially colored in this color. But, as a rule, this color looks unnatural and dull.

Contrast red

Another trend this summer is the rich contrast of bright red and white. A wedding in this style is perhaps one of the simplest tasks for florists, because there are millions of white and red flowers in nature. Creating a bracelet for bridesmaids in this color scheme is a great pleasure, because here you can show your imagination and combine an incredible number of colors.

Option with chiffon flower

Here, for example, is how you can make a headband on an openwork ribbon with an artificial chiffon flower:

1. To begin, make an oval petal template from cardboard or thick paper and carefully cut it out with scissors.
2. Then take a piece of chiffon measuring approximately 20 by 50 cm, attach a pattern to it and cut out thirty-three petals along the contour.
3. The edges of each resulting petal must be melted over the flame of a candle or lighter so that the fabric does not fray.
4. Give each petal a cone shape. To do this, you need to fold the petal and bring it to the fire with the sharp end, and then press the edges with your fingers as quickly as possible. This must be done with all the petals from the workpiece.
5. Cut out the base for the flower from cardboard - a circle with a diameter of three to four centimeters.
6. Carefully glue eight petals to the cardboard circle.
7. Continue gluing the next petals, decreasing one in each layer. That is, there will be seven petals in the second layer, six in the third, and so on.
8. Make a flower core. To do this, you need to take a circle of silk or chiffon with a diameter of four centimeters, stitch it with thread along the edges, put scraps of fabric or cotton wool in the center and tighten the thread. You will get a fabric ball.
9. This ball needs to be covered with rhinestones or small beads glued on. Then glue it into the center of the made flower.
10. Take a beautiful lace ribbon, cut 35-40 centimeters so that you can wrap it around your wrist and tie a beautiful bow. Carefully sew or glue the flower to the ribbon. The bandage is ready!

Option with fabric accessory

Another interesting type of decoration is bridesmaid bracelets with fabric flowers, as in the photo on the left. Moreover, the buds can be bought ready-made or made with your own hands. It does not take a lot of time!

To make a rose from fabric, you need to take a template (a circle of small diameter), cut it out of paper, transfer it to fabric and cut out 10 layers according to the template. You can take one type of fabric, for example, white, or different colors for alternation. To cut out circles faster, fold the material several times, fasten with a pin and cut out several pieces at once.

Each circle cut from fabric easily turns into a petal. To do this, fold the circle twice to make a quarter of a circle, and make several stitches with thread closer to the corner of the workpiece.

Next, the paper template is taken as a basis, and the petals are glued onto it so that each next layer extends slightly beyond the edges of the previous one. The resulting flower is glued to the tape. The length of the ribbon should be long enough to tie flowers on the wrists of the bridesmaids.

Interesting! Most often, three flowers are used to decorate bracelets, but you can also make one large one.

Making your own bracelets

The simplest and most reliable technique for making flower bracelets, boutonnieres and other accessories is glue. Involves attaching flowers, branches, beads and ribbons to the base using a hot glue gun. For bracelets made from fresh flowers, the adhesive fastening technique is combined with a mechanical one - using thin wire pins.

Made from artificial flowers

A bridesmaid's bracelet should look original, simple and elegant. To avoid mistakes when choosing materials, they are guided by the rule of moderation.

Advice! To make an accessory, take either several small flowers, for example, rosebuds, or one large one, for example, a peony, and complement the composition with greenery, beads, and light organza ribbons.

For a bracelet made of artificial material, it is better to choose flowers made by hand from foamiran. They are very light, elegant and realistic.

Materials for making a bridesmaid bracelet:

1. glue gun;
2. artificial small roses, green branches, leaves;
3. white satin ribbon (width 2 cm and 4 cm, length 30 cm each);
4. transparent ribbon made of chiffon or organza (width 1-1.5 cm, length 30 cm);
5. thick cardboard 4x4 cm;
6. mother-of-pearl faux pearls or other beads;
7. lighter.

Instructions

1. Make a base for attaching the composition by wrapping a 4x4 cm wide square of cardboard with a white satin ribbon. Secure the edges with glue.
2. Arrange flowers, greenery and beads in a square close to each other. If the composition is composed harmoniously, everything is fixed to the base with a glue gun, some parts for strength and, if necessary, glued to each other. Beads can be glued on top of the greenery.
3. Place a white satin ribbon on a flat surface, a chiffon ribbon on top and secure it with glue in the center. Glue the flower arrangement here, holding it tightly with your hand to secure it.

The bracelet is ready. Now you can try it on by tying a voluminous bow on the back of your wrist. If necessary, the edges are trimmed and the loose edge is processed using a lighter. This is the principle used to make bracelets for all bridesmaids.

And this is a guide to making bracelets with fresh flowers from the Katrina Flowers channel:

This is how you make an original wedding accessory simply, quickly and inexpensively. In addition to being a useful product, such creativity brings a lot of pleasure.

Flower bracelet on hand (third master class)

To make your own flower bracelet you will need:

1. Flowers of your choice
2. Tape tape
3. Scissors
4. Special attachment for corsage

As for the special fastening, I tried and managed to make a buckle from a plastic bottle using a knife marker and a hole punch, the bottle is very well rounded, then I wiped off the marker with alcohol, and you can thread a regular ribbon into the buckle, or you can sew two ribbons together and insert them inside thin wire for flexibility.

Step 1

Let's start by preparing the flowers, as in MK 1 and 2. Take a rose and cut the stem about 1 cm from the bud. Here there is a difference from previous master classes, we do not pierce the bud from above, the wire passes through the stem cross to cross and we immediately wrap the tape with tape.

Step 2

You will need leaves to decorate the flower bracelet. We make a small stitch with wire just above the middle of the leaf, run the wire along the leaf and twist it at the stem. We wrap the tape with tape.

Step 3

We group small flowers into small bouquets, secure them with wire and tape again!

Step 4

We form a flower bracelet and wrap it with tape.

Step 5

We attach the bracelet to the buckle, pulling it through the round holes and twisting the wire from the outside. We give the bracelet the desired shape, this is easy to do thanks to the flexible wire. You can add flowers and feathers to the bracelet, also treated with wire and tape.

Step 6

We pull the ribbon through the buckle. The flower bracelet is ready!

Here are three ways to make a floral corsage for the bridesmaids and the hero of the occasion. Look how beautifully it can sometimes be combined with the simplest colors!

Bracelet for the bride and bridesmaids: necessity or excess?

An accessory such as a bridesmaid bracelet appeared relatively recently in our country. Therefore, disputes may arise among brides about the need for such decoration.

Seven “FOR” bracelets:

Arm decoration is a great way to highlight unmarried bridesmaids at a wedding. If previously ribbons for bridesmaids were popular, now a modern bracelet will become a beautiful alternative to them; The bracelet is much more convenient than the bouquet

The girls always have their hands free, which is especially important if the bride needs help during a photo shoot or needs to fix her dress/makeup; If your busy schedule allows you, then you can make a bride’s bracelet with your own hands. The same goes for jewelry for friends.

The main thing is to keep the accessories in the same style; Bracelets for bridesmaids can be made from a variety of materials. The photos below will prove this to you; Stylish decoration will be a pleasant reminder for girls about your wedding day; A delicate accessory will once again emphasize the beauty and femininity of your friends, without distracting attention from the main hero of the occasion - the bride; One of the main advantages is versatility. A bracelet for the hand of the bride and bridesmaids can be made in absolutely any style and color. The main thing is to accurately determine the theme of the celebration and understand what kind of jewelry you want to see on your wedding day.

To be fair, it is worth noting that hand decoration has several disadvantages that should not be forgotten.

Cons of wedding bracelets:

• It is necessary to accurately determine the size of the jewelry for each girlfriend. Otherwise, a bracelet that is too tight will pinch the hand and cause a lot of unpleasant sensations, and a bracelet that is too loose will “walk” on the wrist, creating a careless look for the girl;
• Bracelets, especially those made from fresh flowers, are likely to lose their appeal by the end of the evening;
• If you decide to make your own bridesmaid bracelets, remember that it will take a lot of time to make several pieces of jewelry. Decorations with fresh flowers will require the most attention, which must be done immediately before the event;
• No one gives a guarantee that the ordered bracelets will please you with quality and “endurance”. When choosing a master, always look for reviews about his work. Thematic forums and groups will help you with this, where brides are happy to share their experience of working with a particular specialist;
• Wedding accessories that are not made correctly can quickly lose their appeal. For example, flowers will fall off or beads will fail. Therefore, it is better to make one bracelet for a “test” and give it a kind of “test drive” for endurance.

Charming bracelets will highlight the theme of the wedding, the care and love of the bride for her friends. Delicate wedding decorations will look very beautiful in photographs and videos, saturating the family archive with bright colors and a light mood.

How to create a boutonniere with your own hands

Personally created wedding accessories are not only stylish, fashionable and unique, but also an excellent opportunity to put your soul into one of the main masterpieces at the long-awaited celebration. To make a beautiful boutonniere, you don’t have to be a jack of all trades, just have a little patience, come up with an original idea and approach it with love. You can involve your girlfriends in the process, turn work into a creative evening that will be remembered for a long time. This video allows you to create a beautiful boutonniere on your hand using satin and lace ribbons, beads and glue. The composition can be made in any shades, use decorations to your liking.

Bracelets made from living plants

So:

• To make such a bracelet, you first need to select and prepare flowers. Their stems should be cut as short as possible, and the bud should be pierced with thin wire. If there are several flowers, you need to make a beautiful composition out of them, fasten them with wire and wrap them with temp tape.
• You need to make a hole in a fairly wide satin ribbon and insert the buds there, and then secure it with glue.
• When the glue dries, you need to seal the remaining hole with a piece of tape so that the flowers are tightly fixed. After this, you need to tie the ribbon on your hand in a beautiful bow.
• In order to make a flower bracelet for the bridesmaids' hands, you can use additional elements, for example, leaves, small twigs, and berries. They need to be shortened, attached to the main flower with wire or a special floral tape, and the base of the bouquet should be wrapped with lace or satin ribbon, which will serve as the base of the bracelet.
• If the flower arrangement turns out to be large enough and it cannot be threaded through the hole in the bracelet’s satin ribbon, you can simply glue the resulting miniature bouquet to the bracelet.

Idea with roses

If the bridesmaid wants to create a bright, memorable image, you can make a bracelet with fresh roses. To do this, you will need rose spray (a branch with many small pink inflorescences), as well as a plant called ashy cross - also known in flower shops and among florists as “Dusty miller” - this is a beautiful twig with a small silvery fluff.

1. First you need to glue a branch of “Dusty Miller” to a small circle of cardboard. Then pink buds are glued on (instead you can use daisies, tulips, lilies, gerberas and others, but roses look the most impressive). Once the cross and roses are attached, the cardboard should not be visible.
2. Then you need to take the fishing line and measure your wrist, then cut the fishing line twice as large to wrap the bracelet around your wrist twice. Treat the edges of the bracelet with glue, take a satin ribbon and carefully wrap the bracelet with ribbon along its entire length.
3. Find the middle of the bracelet, apply a little glue there and glue a cardboard circle with roses to the top of the bracelet, and attach the same cardboard circle to the bottom. Glue the two circles together so that the bracelet is between them.
4. Bend the product on your hand and admire the results of your efforts.

How to make

It is not difficult to make such beauty. To simplify the task and save time, you can use ready-made flowers for the bridesmaids’ hands as a base - you can buy them at a craft store.

The decoration can also be made from wire (well decorated), from a string of beads, as well as from satin ribbons, velvet decorative elastic bands and other improvised materials, showing creative imagination and dexterity. Fortunately, in specialized stores you can find many different devices that are suitable as a base.

Satin, satin, lace and other similar fabrics are suitable for decoration, depending on the taste and wishes of the bridesmaid and the hero of the occasion.

The main detail of the bracelet is, of course, flowers. You can make them yourself using instructions from the Internet, or you can attach purchased artificial or live buds to the base of the bracelet.

They look the most romantic, but it is important to carefully choose the variety so that the “ray of light and joy” in the bracelet does not wither and lose all appearance before the end of the wedding celebration, which can extremely upset the bride, groom, her bridesmaids and other guests.

A good option is flowers made of polymer clay. They look like the real thing, but you don’t have to worry about their freshness and condition. A hand decoration with a flower made of polymer clay will serve as a good souvenir and memory of the wedding.

In its most general form, the scheme for making an unusual decoration looks like this: you need to take the base and decorate it well with the selected material, and then attach the main element of the bracelet (a flower or composition), after which the component part is well fastened to the base. You can also make cute flowers from satin ribbons for the bridesmaids.

What tones to use

The choice of color depends on what dress the bridesmaid will wear, the time of year of the formal part, as well as the style of the wedding. Classic flowers for the bridesmaids should be in white or any pastel colors , but in some cases bright colors will be appropriate: red, blue, green, etc. In any case, the choice of color should be agreed upon with the main character of the celebration.

Why is it better to do it yourself?

You can buy a ready-made bandage in a specialized store or make it yourself, especially since it’s quite easy to do.

Today, many brides refuse the services of salons and managers, preferring to organize the wedding themselves, delving into all the details and thinking through everything down to the smallest detail. Such self-organized weddings turn out to be very warm and touching. And if you make headbands and other accessories with your own hands, they can become a wonderful souvenir that will preserve the warmth of the hands of the bride and her bridesmaids, as well as the memory of this wedding.

In addition, making a headband with your own hands will allow the bride to once again meet with her bridesmaids on the eve of the wedding and have a pleasant time, as well as minimize the costs of holding the celebration.

Boutonniere for witness

A wedding is a place where nothing small exists.

Everything here is extremely important, here everything “works” to ensure that the image of the bride and groom is perfect. That’s why it’s so important that honorary witnesses look harmonious

In this situation, the witness’s boutonniere and the witness’s bracelet come in handy. If they are made in the same style, then it practically does not matter what their owners are wearing and how much their clothes “harmonize” with each other. This factor is very important at those weddings where the images of witnesses are thought out not under the general theme of the celebration, but independently of it. In such a situation, it is best to order jewelry from the same florist who makes the bride’s bouquet. He will select flowers that will perfectly harmonize with the bouquet, emphasize its beauty and create an overall style.

What can you make yourself from?

You should choose a material that will not “hit” the wedding budget and matches the overall style of the wedding celebration, the image of the bride, etc.

From polymer clay

The first piece of advice when making an accessory from clay is to become familiar with the technique and features of using the material in advance. The theme can be classic: leaves, flowers, berries.

In some cases, bracelets create a noticeable contrast with the outfit or, in general, are quite catchy. From polymer clay you can make a bracelet of flowers for the bridesmaids' hands to suit every taste. This is a universal material that allows you to realize many ideas. The parts of the bracelet can be connected together with threads or ribbons.

Beads, rhinestones

Accessories made of rhinestones, wreaths or bracelets for wedding bridesmaids, for example, look solemn and will decorate any outfit. If the wedding celebration is taking place in an informal setting, it is better to use beads. Fortunately, the options are limited only by your imagination - craft stores offer beads of different sizes, colors, degrees of transparency, etc. In most cases, jewelry in delicate shades is worn at weddings. The same goes for bridesmaid bracelets.

To decorate a holiday and dresses in the Provence style, lilac or purple beads are appropriate. A wedding by the sea will be complemented by pearl accessories. Elements of blue or sea green are also appropriate here.

Feathers

Gorgeous and unusual material for bracelets can complement an extravagant wedding outfit. Also, feather accessories are appropriate for a wedding celebration in gangster, Indian, bohemian or retro styles. For handmade work, you can use feathers of any color and different sizes, combine them with beads, artificial flowers, bright stones, etc. The main condition is that they must match the image of the bride. Their light weight also speaks in favor of feathers.

Decorative branches, berries

Accessories made from berries and twigs are especially relevant in the cold season, when you want warmth and memories of summer. Such bracelets are combined with delicate outfits made of flowing materials in the style of “boho”, “rustic”, etc.

Braid, beads

As bracelets, you can use bright, unusual “baubles” and bracelets made of braid and beads in delicate colors. Such bracelets for a wedding - for bridesmaids or the newlywed herself - can be chosen to suit completely different styles, even classic ones, provided that the colors of the main outfit and accessories are harmoniously combined. By the way, you can make many other jewelry from beads. Read more here.

Ribbons

Bridesmaid bracelets made from satin ribbons are a budget option and offer many design options. Ribbons can be beautifully intertwined and complemented with flowers, beads and other decorative elements. They are practical, look elegant on the hand, and weigh little.

We can say for sure that if you distribute such bracelets to your bridesmaids before the ceremony, your wedding photos will turn out much more solemn. A delicate romantic outfit will become even more attractive if you put a rose woven from a ribbon on your hand. The abundance of colors allows you to choose the material to suit any outfit.

Flowers

Nothing emphasizes the feminine appearance of bridesmaids more than hand accessories that emit a pleasant aroma. But the obvious disadvantages of fresh flowers are their fragility and capriciousness. In addition, they are quite expensive.

Large fresh flowers are used as material - they are beautiful in themselves. All you need is one piece and a fastening – and the large flower bracelet is ready. Small flowers are combined into a composition, complementing it with ribbons, decorative elements, lace, etc.

Another rule is that it is important for bridesmaids to wear bracelets made of fresh flowers in the same style as the hero of the occasion’s outfit.

Are fresh flowers unacceptable to you? Or maybe the celebration takes place in cold and cloudy weather? Are you concerned about the safety of your accessory? You can make bracelets for your bridesmaids from artificial flower buds.

For compositions, ready-made elements are chosen, or they are made from felt, beads, silk, tulle, chiffon and even paper. A very interesting option, which also implies many options, is knitted flowers.

General principles for choosing a floral bracelet

The bracelet should match the look of the bridesmaid. The color of the flower should match the color of her dress and other accessories. This wrist decoration will go well with a flower in your hair. For the look, it is better to choose a classic dress made of light fabric (silk, chiffon) and natural makeup.

Bracelets made of fresh flowers for bridesmaids, like all other details of the image, should be combined with the appearance of the hero of the occasion, as well as with the format of the wedding. The color scheme of the bracelet should match the color scheme of the bride's bouquet.

Types of materials

For a witness bracelet, several factors are very important and can influence the choice of materials.

The first thing that is important to pay attention to is the aesthetic component. He must be ideal, beautiful, elegant. The second important factor is resistance to mechanical damage.

This means that it must be durable, because a wedding sometimes lasts more than 10 hours

The second important factor is resistance to mechanical damage. This means that it must be durable, because a wedding sometimes lasts more than 10 hours.

From fresh flowers

Decorations made from fresh flowers look very noble and rich. When choosing such a product, you should remember that the flowers will fade rather quickly without water. If the wedding takes place in the summer, then such decoration is hardly enough to visit the registry office. In cooler seasons, it may last all the way to a restaurant, but there it will most likely quickly become unusable. In addition, not all florists are able to make such a product durable. Flowers often fall out and are lost quite quickly, so you need to contact a reliable, trusted specialist. The most durable will be a flower bracelet made of chrysanthemums or roses, and a product made of tulips will die almost immediately.

Made from artificial flowers

Artificial flowers are an excellent option for a long wedding: they do not fade, are easily and firmly attached to the base, and therefore are resistant to mechanical stress. Those with good taste can easily create beautiful compositions for jewelry. The bride can easily assemble such a bracelet for her bridesmaids on her own.

From foamiran

Foamiran is a modern material for needlework. It is very soft and pliable, similar to polymer clay. With its help you can create unique fantasy products. For example, you can make a bracelet in the form of one large flower or a complex composition of a bouquet of small flowers, berries and even insects. Working with foamiran requires imagination, good practice and perseverance. Products made from it have an incredibly attractive appearance, they are very beautiful and life-like. However, there is one drawback to a bracelet made from this material. Foamiran is a rather fragile substance, so you need to be extremely careful when wearing it.

From satin ribbons

A bracelet made of satin ribbons can rightfully be considered the most durable product. At first glance, it may seem that such a product will be too simple, homely and not original, but this is not at all the case. Thanks to the kanzashi technique, popular among modern needlewomen, a product made from satin ribbons can take on an incredible and intricate shape. Modern bright materials will allow you to create decoration in any color scheme and any shape. If this technique is too complicated, then it is quite possible to make simpler jewelry from ribbons and decorate them with rhinestones, stones, pearls or beads.

Lace

Bracelets richly decorated with lace flowers or complex lace compositions are also very popular. Large brooches studded with Swarovski stones, crystal, zirconium or other sparkling stones would look very appropriate on such bracelets.

Spectacular images for inspiration

Original carrot

A wedding organized with an emphasis on carrot color looks very unusual. Long transformable bridesmaid dresses, the appearance of which can be easily changed by changing the strap or tying it on a belt, should ideally suit the different body types of the bridesmaids. This fairly universal color suits girls with different skin types and hair colors. The looks of the witnesses are complemented by white lace bracelets with carrot-colored gerberas. All this emphasizes the general style of the wedding, which can be seen in the images of the newlyweds.

Bottomless sea

Bridesmaids' dresses the color of the blue bottomless ocean, illuminated by the bright rays of the summer sun, can turn a wedding into the most elegant celebration. Ideally selected outfits, taking into account the characteristics of such different figures and taste preferences of the girlfriends, make each of them unique, elegant, and magnificent. So different and beautiful, they do not overshadow the bride at all; on the contrary, they subtly emphasize her light and delicate image. An important role in this is played by the bridesmaids’ bracelets, made from flowers identical to those that form the basis of the bride’s bouquet. Together they create the illusion of gentle mermaids emerging from the depths of the ocean to fill this world with happiness.

Shining emerald

Emerald color is so self-sufficient that it does not need any bright accessories. A bracelet made of small white flowers, such as daisies or lilies of the valley, would be very appropriate. You can also complement the look with a decoration made from a contrasting burgundy peony bud. If the bride has many friends and not everyone likes such a bright style, they will look very original in dresses of emerald and calm beige colors. Such an army of witnesses will certainly not allow the bride to be kidnapped from the wedding and will turn the celebration into a noisy, cheerful celebration.

Noble Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the color of young wine. This deep tone emphasizes the natural beauty of young girls, adding charm and sophistication to their image. A dress of this color can be easily complemented with large gold accessories, such as a belt, brooch or bracelet. A thin bridesmaid bracelet with one large flower made of transparent ribbon and complemented with several thin ribbons looks very elegant.

Therefore, everything in her image, including jewelry, should be aimed at solving this problem. That is why the bracelet plays such an important role in the image of the witness and in the image of the bride herself.

Almost every needlewoman who does sewing might have scraps of light, thin fabric lying around at home.

So, to make artificial flower bracelets for bridesmaids:

1. Cut 39 cm of each ribbon (nylon and satin).
2. Lighten the edges of the ribbon with a lighter.
3. Fold the satin ribbon in half and find the middle. Spread the middle of the tape from the wrong side with glue and secure it with nylon tape.
4. Cut a small piece of felt the width of the satin ribbon and glue it to the middle of the satin ribbon on the other side.
5. Decide what flowers you want to use for the bracelet. Cut off the heads, small inflorescences and three leaves with pliers.
6. Lightly trim selected buds into a semicircle shape.
7. Glue the sheets and then the flowers to the blank. Pressing them tightly to the workpiece, they must be glued one after another as quickly as possible, until the glue dries, so that it sets well.
8. Fix the inflorescences in the composition. Then let the glue harden. The bracelet is ready!
