Wreath of Flowers...I want to wear one as a headpiece?

We're having a destination wedding in St Thomas, followed a few months later by a reception locally, where I will also be wearing my gown (and headpiece). Because I will be wearing the floral wreath twice, I was thinking of making one using silk flowers. Is there a form you can buy for the basic wreath shape or how are they made? I wanted to use smaller flowers (daisy size, but a more tropical variety)

Go to a big fabric store - they have the forms. Get the flowers for it at Hobby Lobby or Michael's. http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displ...


Try the biggest local fabric store in town!
Reply:Just order one online. Go to TheHawaiian wedding shop.com I think they sell them there.
Reply:Your local florist should be able to help you out. My bridesmaids had these, and there was no form - the wreath was just shaped from the flowers being laid over each other progressively, and wired as it went along.
Reply:My step mother did the same thing and it looked great and very tropical. Try hobby lobby, the have expert floral designers who will let you pick out the flowers you want and they will design it for you. Very affordable for something that will be a keepsake the rest of your life. I am a wedding photographer and I use them to make boquets my brides use for their bridal portraits.





Have fun in St. Thomas, I am going there in 15 DAYS!
Reply:Sounds like we're in the same boat with not having ANYTHING close to us (Hobby Lobby and so forth), I have ebayed my wedding to death! Try looking on there for flowers (they usually give you a close up - but if they don't..click on the ask seller a question button and ask them to send a close up picture of the flower). Congrats on the up coming wedding and I wish you luck!
Reply:buy reglar silk flowers


their heads can be taken off and sew onto a hairpiece or scarf





sounds great








have fun
Reply:There's this wire thing, they use it in the ring skirts, you know the ones that are really puffy and when you sit down they just fly up. That's the material I've seen used for the flower wreaths.
Reply:Try researching using the word "renaissance" in the search. At renaissance faires, they sell nice wreaths of dried flowers.
