Dried Flower Wreaths and You

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
 -Martin Luther

Wedding, the most beautiful and pure relationship between two people. Wedding is not only a ceremony between two people but it is a ceremony in which two families too come together. In this ceremony we all shower our blessing to the newly married couple as they are going to begin a new journey. Let us also convey our best wishes to the loving couple. Let us offer the bride a magnolia wreath for the wedding.

For making a magnolia wedding wreath you will need the following materials:

• 12” wreath base
• Ivy leaves
• 4 white magnolias
• 4 red roses
• Greening pins
• Moss
• Floral wire
• Green floral tape
• Glue gun
• Wire cutters
• Scissors

Before you start making your magnolia-wedding wreath you have to take the wreath base. Then cover the wreath base with moss with glue gun. Allow the moss to dry completely.

Wrap the wreath base with floral wire. Hold one end of the wire and start wrapping it around the wreath base. Tie a knot at the end of the floral wire. Now start placing the ivy leaves. Try to work in three columns. Place the ivy leaves and attach them using greening pins to the wreath base.

The leaves of two ends of the columns should face the opposite direction. Place the ivy leaves at the back of the wreath to make it look complete. Go on adding the ivy leaves using greening pins.

Now attach four white magnolias in the wreath. Cut the stems of the magnolias in an angular shape. Then push the magnolias in the wreath base. Wrap the stems of the flowers with floral wire. Then wrap the wire with green floral tape so that the wire is not visible.

Then cut the stems of the red roses and push them inside the wreath base. Again cover the stems with floral wire and then with floral green tape. You can even use hot glue gun to attach the flowers in the wreath base. After the wreath base is complete make a large bow and attach it to the wreath.
