I had to consult my momma on this one because she was the one who did 95% of the work on these. And so I had no step-by-step photos on my camera chips. She however had a few and we were able to work out the steps to show you guys. These too were really simple and my mom wants to point out that enjoyed working on these while she sat and watched her tv shows... but she did burn herself a lot. (I'm better with Hot Glue then she is.) YOU WILL NEED:
Alright, to start you're going to want to get your corsage bands. Pretty much any craft store or website with wedding stuff will sell these. We bought ours at Pat Catans. Now they make different styles, some are pearl band, some are a simple band with a strap, etc. So you'll want to look for whats right for your style wedding. The ones we bought were simple straps with the clips. My mom thought it would be easy to work with, and since I'm not the one who had to wear them I didn't argue. Taking your strap the first thing you're going to want to do is set your greenery down. For appearance sake whatever greenery you want should be set down first, you want it to be like a mini bouquet on the wrist, so leaves are important. We laid two long leaves going long ways. So right to left on the wrist. And then two smaller ones going up and down, so from fingers to arm direction. Once you like the style and placement go ahead and hot glue them down. From there you're going to start attaching your flowers. My wedding flowers were roses so we took two silk roses, cut their stems completely off, and hot glued them butt to butt. If you're interested in how we made the swirled colors on the roses you can check that out here: Once you have your MAJOR pieces in place, you can start filling in with smaller floral and greenery. And again, once you're content with their placement, hot glue them into place. As you can see the flowers have little diamond picks sticking out of them. This is where those add-ons come into place. And gems, pearl picks, ribbons, etc, you'll want to add on now. It's really that simple. My Aunty J took a photo from the wedding of my mom's corsage so you can see the finished product here.
