How to decorate a spring wedding with flowers?
Daffodils are the constant companions of this season. Compared to other flowers, they are not very expensive in spring. Therefore, you can buy these flowers for wedding decoration. If you have a summer cottage, then you can cut daffodils there.
- The petals of these flowers will allow you to decorate the path for the bride and groom. To save money, buy daffodils in bulk. Take those that have torn off stems, for example. Make an appointment with the seller in advance to save this material for you. You will buy it for almost nothing, the seller will be so glad that he helped out something for a defective product. But such flowers will suit you very well.
- Spread a light-colored rug or thick fabric where the bride and groom will walk. Sprinkle daffodil petals here.
- Have the bridesmaids buy yellow dresses in advance. After all, these are perfect for a spring celebration. The spouse herself will dress in a white dress. These two colors make up the daffodil color.
- These flowers will decorate the hairstyle and, of course, make up an elegant bouquet. You can put them on the table, for which the tablecloth is made in white and gold tones. Drinks look wonderful in glasses, standing on yellow napkins, and decorating glasses with lemons will complement this rainbow spring picture.
- The bride's bouquet should be more luxurious than that of her bridesmaids. Use for it not ordinary yellow daffodils, but with orange cores. Salmon-colored roses will also perfectly fit into this composition. Collect large flowers first, and place smaller spring flowers between them. Lilies of the valley, unblown white tulip buds look wonderful in such bouquets.
- You can create a simpler bouquet, like in the photo on the right, using only daffodils for it.
The wedding cake will also be in the theme if you decorate it with these flowers. Of course, you don't need to take the cut ones, but you need to make flowers from mastic. If you create them yourself, you can use powdered sugar and gelatin or marshmallows.
Having made such a sweet mass, it must be divided into several parts and put each in a bag for now so that it does not dry out. Now add yellow dye to one part and green to the other. From white mastic you will make petals of this color, and from yellow - sunny.
Green will help you create leaves or stems, like in another photo. A flower for dessert is also easy to make. To do this, you need to cut 5 identical petals according to the template, slightly moisten the surface of the dessert, attach them in a circle symmetrically to each other. You will make the core from a strip of sugar mastic rolled out with a silicone rolling pin, to which yellow or orange food coloring has been added.
Join the edges of this rectangle together by wetting them with water. Now you can place the core in the central part of the flower. Make other sweet decorations in the same way.
To keep everything in the same color scheme and fit into one theme, decorate the room with these colors. Taking special coasters, you can make chic fan-shaped bouquets from daffodils. If you don't have these tools, then just place them in small white pots. And if you do not have such or daffodils do not grow in containers, but there are cut ones, then you can decorate glass jars with burlap cuts and rewind them with ribbons.
Of course, guests will present gifts to the newlyweds. But let the newlyweds not forget to give signs of attention to those who have come. You need to buy daffodil bulbs in advance, put them in boxes and give them to dear guests.
Let everyone grow this flower, and after some time tell them what happened. You can ask to take photos, and then paste them into a wedding album to remember how the daffodils helped to make this unforgettable holiday.
Having shown imagination, you can decorate the pots in which the daffodils will grow with paper flowers for the wedding. Mash the plasticine and stick it around the containers from the outside. Cut the green napkins into squares with a side of 2 cm. Winding these blanks on the tip of a pencil or on a special device for trimming, then you will attach each piece to the prepared surface.
So close the entire pot from the outside using the bevelling method. You will get a beautiful container.
Flowers go well with glass, so you can arrange them not only in vases and glasses, but also in transparent bottles. You can create an interesting composition if you cover small pots of daffodils with inverted glass jars.
These flowers will help out not only for a wedding, but also for Easter. After all, they look amazing on the table next to the testicles and give an excellent spring mood.
If you prefer other flowers, you can use them in your wedding preparations. Lovers of peonies can be advised to pay attention to this plant. Such flowers look wonderful in a vase, decorate a festive table, as well as a wedding cake.

If the headdress is formed in the form of a lace transparent hat, then an artificial or natural peony can be attached to the side. Have the bride put a scarf over her shoulders, to which these plants will also be attached.
If the hall is decorated with lanterns, you need to make or buy in advance those on which peonies will also be painted. Attach the flower to the gift box for a consistent look.

Now for you the promised master class with step-by-step photos, which will tell you how to make paper peonies. You can buy corrugated paper for them at stationery or at a craft store, so this shouldn't be a problem.
How to make paper peonies for wedding decoration?
Taking a corrugated one, you will need to cut out only 6 types of petal blanks:
- 10 small;
- 6 medium;
- 12 large.
You also need to cut a circle out of cardboard. All other elements will be attached to it.
Take corrugated paper, put it in front of you and cut out a semicircle, the longest edge of which will need to be cut with such noodles into thin equal strips. Now fold this blank, starting from one side, so that you get this kind of middle of the flower.
Then take the circles and use your fingers to shape them into a more concave shape.
It's time to glue the petals. First, use glue to attach two rows of large petals to the outer edge of the cardboard blank, so that there are six in each. The middle petals will fill in the third row.
Moving towards the center, now glue the smallest petal here.
You have an empty middle. Glue the center piece here.
You can make a peony not only from corrugated, but also from crepe paper. To do this, you need to take pink and green. Cut the pink into rectangles of two types - narrower and wider. And cut out the leaves from the green rectangles.
As you can see, from pink blanks you need to cut petals of two types, which differ in width. Now, using your fingers, give these elements a concave shape.
Take a tube or wire and wrap it in either floral tape or a strip of green crepe paper. Now attach narrow petals to the top. Secure them with floral tape or a narrow strip of paper.
This will fill the two inner rows. Now do the outer ones, taking the wider petals.
Use your fingers to shape the petals as desired. You will get such a wonderful peony.
Take care of making such flowers in advance to decorate the hall, wedding table and gifts with them.
