What can you create with just paper, hot glue, and floral wire? How about a breathtakingly beautiful rustic bridal bouquet—all made from paper! Featuring Queen Anne's Lace, seeded eucalyptus, and some of our most beloved paper flowers, this bouquet looks so realistic it might just surprise you. As I envisioned a summer-to-fall arrangement, I knew it needed a fresh paper dahlia design paired with lush foliage and delicate fillers. To me, a rustic bouquet is all about those charming, wild touches and rich visual texture. The seeded eucalyptus and dusty miller add the perfect paper foliage, while the Queen Anne's Lace brings that lovely wildflower feel. Simply stunning, don’t you think?

Click below for tutorials for each flower included in this arrangement:

Paper Hydrangea
Paper Ranunculus
Plum Succulent (steps 17-21)
Paper Dahlia

Once you have made and gathered all of your paper flowers and foliage, just follow the steps below to make this bouquet. You can find direct links to the paper I used for these flowers here. Enjoy! ~ Lia

I am halfway through making this bouquet for my wedding and it is already SO beautiful. I can’t wait to carry it down the aisle. Thank you so much for these designs!

First of all I have pined over this bouquet for 7 years! I am now finally getting married in November and have started making it – I love it! I would like to make a complimentary garland, do you have any matching long pieces of greenery I could join together to do this? I then plan to dit the flowers throughout.

  @Jennifer
  
  This is one of the first I made and I agree. . . it is still one of my favorites too. 🙂
  I would use the seeded eucalyptus greenery from the arrangement.
  
  We have a new technique for adding wires to your paper too. Sandwich the paper covered wire between two pieces of paper to make is stronger. It really helps.
  
  I definitely want to see photos! 😉

I am so excited to start on this project! I am wondering if using different paper will ruin it? I am wanting to make this one for my bridal bouquet and then a smaller, less full version for my bridesmaids. Is the amount of paper recommended just for one bouquet?

  @Maggie
  
  I think you can use any lighter paper for the flowers, and you could even use cardstock for the greenery. Some of the flowers work best with text-weight paper, but you can experiment. I also love to use the frosted paper we sell in our shop. This project was created before we launched that paper. https://feltpaperscissors.com/product-category/frosted-craft-paper/

Hi, I’ve started this project today and the SVGs for the Dahlia, 2 and 3 are identical. Are they supposed to be identical so we print two, or is there a duplicate in the files I downloaded?

Thanks!

  Yes, there are two very similar/identical pieces. Since there are so many petals in this flower, you will need them all. 🙂

Hi there,
I purchased this svg file set from Cricut on design space. When I attempt to work with the flower for the Dahlia, it forces me to use a 12×24 cutting mat and I’m only able to resize the flowers, but not separate them to work with a smaller cutting mat. Would this be a cricut issue? Or do you have recommendations on the paticular size to cut for the Dahlias?

I think the SVG files for the Dusty Miller and Queen Anne’s Lace might be incorrect? When I download the zip file it shows succulents and seeded eucalyptus instead. I found the Dusty Miller felt SVG on another part of this site. Will that work for this bouquet (using paper not felt)??

  Hi! I double-checked the downloads, and don’t see any mix up. Can you email us a screenshot of what you’re seeing/downloading to hello@liagriffith.com? Also you could try downloading the seeded eucalyptus and if that somehow downloads the queen anne’s lace and dusty miller.

Just gorgeous. I’m seriously considering crafting my wedding flowers next year, so I’m making a test bouquet using the majority of these flowers (only substituting Lia’s rose and Marianne anemones for the dahlia and ranunculus).

I do have a question though: Is there a printed wash on the paper for the Dusty Miller? In one particular photo it appears as though the leaf has a marbled look that I find beautiful. I have the Aquamarine paper from Paper Papers and would love to achieve the look in the photo.

Thanks in advance for your time!

  YES love it! We support this decision 🙂 We actually did print the watercolor wash for the hydrangea on the paper for the dusty miller, just at a lighter percentage (the “draft” option on our printer).

Hi there! This is such a gorgeous project and I’m excited to be using it, probably at a small family only ceremony sometime this year down by my grandparents so my grandfather doesn’t have to travel. Maybe even for the big to-do in Maryland where my fiancé and I live later next year!

I’ve just started fiddling with the pattern, and I purchased some 8.5×11” cardstock from PaperPapers with adjustments for our color scheme, but several of the images are too large for letter size paper, but I don’t know where I would get a 12×24” piece of cardstock, plus I already bought these packs of paper. Do you have any suggestions on how much to scale the images for the flowers within Cricut Canvas? I know I can adjust sizes but I wanted to see if this is a known snag or if this question has been asked before I started driving myself crazy trying to figure it out myself!

Thanks!

Created this bouquet for my city hall ceremony and it was perfect. Used some different paper options for some of the flowers because I decided to do it last min and didn’t have time to order. I had some challenges with the hydrangeas as well, used a half ball styrofoam piece to hold the flowers together, because I couldn’t get them to look right with the instructions given… and maybe I got a little impatient 😊. Still looked so beautiful in the pictures! So glad I found this DIY site! The paper flowers represented me (and my crafty DIY side) so well on my wedding day.

Hi Lia, thanks for this amazing tutorial, I am about to do the ranunculus flower and I got all the papers from https://www.paper-garden.ca/categories/metallic-papers.html, because I live in Canada, but I cant figure it out where do you use the Nude color https://www.paperpapers.com/diy/lia/paper-rustic-bridal-bouquet.html . In this turotial it saids that you use the Kunzite color.

Hello!

I’m curious how many sheets of paper each flower uses? I went to the tutorials for each of them but I couldn’t find a clear answer on how many sheets they use. I saw your comment that for this bouquet you used “3 dahlias, 7 ranunculus, 5 plum succulents, 3 hydrangeas, and about 10 of each dusty miller, queen anne’s lace, and seeded eucalyptus”.

Specifically, I’m planning to make one full bouquet for my wedding and use parts for bouquets for my bridesmaids. Thank you!

1. Lia July 12, 2019 at 8:30am
  
  @Elizabeth
  
  Hi Elizabeth! If you are using 8.5×11 paper, you will need these quantities to yield ONE flower: dahlia (3 sheets), ranunculus (1 sheet), plum succulent (1 sheet), hydrangea (2-3 sheets depending if you use 60 or 90 petals), dusty miller (2 sheets), queen anne’s lace (3-4 sheets). If you’re ordering from PaperPapers, most of their packs are 25-50 qty so you’ll be all set 🙂

    Dusty miller and queen Anne’s lace use that many sheets for ONE flower? I am cutting now and a little confused. I was able to get 4 Queens Anne’s lace on a sheet and 2-3 dusty miller on a sheet? How many cut outs equal one flower? I didn’t see a tutorial on how to put those together.

      For the queen annes lace, dusty miller, and seeded eucalyptus you will need two cuts of each for one stem then glue a wire between the two pieces. For example the 4 queen annes lace you cut from one sheet will make 2 queen annes lace.

I, also am having trouble locating the assembly instructions via design.cricut.com. If the pdf instructions could be emailed when you purchase the sag, that would be fab.

Because this was a collaboration with Cricut, we are here to help with the making of our flowers, and Cricut is available to help with any technical issues with this project in Design Space. We tried to make it easy by listing individual links to all the flowers instead of one, giant blog post 🙂 We can’t wait to see how this turns out– it’ll be beautiful, I am sure!

Hi Lia! I love this bouquet and I’m excited to make it for my wedding. I bought both sizes of wire like you suggested but I’m having trouble figuring out which size to use for which flower, really which flower used the 24 gauge, because I didn’t see it on any of the tutorial pages. Where did you intend the 24 gauge wire to be used?

  Hi Eleanor! We have started using only 18 and 24 gauge wire (it’s just been easier to source and stock in our craft room), but typically use the thicker wire for flowers, and thin wire fore leaves and greenery. I’ll update the post with more specific instructions.

I just bought a Cricut Maker and put my Silhouette in the closet. When i cut the Queen Anne’s Lace, the paper pulled up from the mat in places. I am using Stardream Metallic paper from papers-papers. I left the blade setting at default, should I change it to a shallow setting?
Thanks,
Maureen

  How exciting! Yes, play around with your blade settings, but also make sure your mat is sticky enough for the paper.

    The Queen Anne’s lace stems need to have more body. When I cut them on my Cricut Explore Air, some of the stems were simply a cut line leaving no stem. That was disappointing. The program needs to be tweaked to actually cut the peripheral stems. I am using the recommended papers and everything else cut perfectly.

I was interested in purchasing this project on Design Space, but I noticed there is no way to separate out the dahlia pieces to fit the 8.5″X11″ that would be required for the paper you recommend. Is there a way to edit that or is it different if purchased through your website membership?

  Hi Sarah! We’ve had some trouble with that bouquet in Design Space but are working with Cricut to fix it. However, the SVG files on our site can be changed easily to fit 8.5×11 paper.

For the Dusty Miller and Queen Anne’s – how did you conceal the floral wire? If I glue it too close to the base of the paper it’s too flimsy and if I give it a good spine, the wire is visible. Did you glue two back to back? Thanks!

  Hi Emily! We glued 20 gauge white floral wire all the way up the center. If you want to hide the wire better, you can glue two back to back, or wrap it with white floral tape.

I am doing this bouquet for my best friends wedding. My mom has a Silhouette (with business edition). When we download the SVG file and open it in the Silhouette, we are not able to cut it without tracing it. Can you shed some light on this issue.

  You have to convert the SVG files to Studio files in order to use them with the Silhouette. I believe you need the designer edition software to do so, but am not positive (it’s been awhile since I’ve owned a Silhouette!)

I changed up the colors of the ranunculus and the hydrangeas, and used some foil printed paper for the dahlias. Oh, and I threw in a few of your freesias just to make it even more over the top! She absolutely loves it, and now I want to keep it!

Are the ranunculus made with the nude metallic paper? I received some as a sample but it looks different, much more brown than your photos. I’m looking for a dark dusty rose but I just can’t seem to find a good match…

  Yes! We used “Nude” metallic paper, which is a brown-toned pinky color. It probably looks more pink when paired with the other cool colored flowers in the photos. Unfortunately I don’t see something close to a dusty rose on Paper-Papers. If you’re feeling extra crafty, you could always try getting a lighter pink paper and printing a colored wash on it, or even watercolor painting it.

  I just found out today that they discontinued the Emerald! That’s the darker green color. There is a non-metallic emerald green that would look nice (and I like the mix of finishes and textures!) The other pieces of foliage are cut from Aquamarine which is still available.

I am cutting from the SVG file that I downloaded from here on the blog. When I go to cut it shoes on the cut preview correctly but the cuts about 1/4-1/2″ above the paper. It is actually going up into the cutting area’s boarder around the edge of the mat. It is cutting outside of the cut area on the mat. Like I said it shows correctly on the preview screen but cuts wrong…

        What do you think about using Emerald in a non-metallic? It looks like they have it in a regular finish. It’s for my wedding bouquet. I love the jewel tones of the colors you used! I’m wondering if it would look super weird to use a plain finish on the greenery when the flowers are metallic. But maybe it would just give the flowers an extra “pop” of radiance?

Hi, Lia. I sent an email about a month ago on an issue I was having, but it might have gotten swallowed up in cyber space. I have been in love with this bouquet for a while now, but I have run into an issue with the dahlia pattern. My Cricut Explore Air keeps starting about an inch down the paper and ends up cutting attempting to cut off the end of the cutting mat where there’s nothing to cut! It’s driving me mad! I noticed that the dimensions were 12×24, and I’m not a genius, but it looks to me like it should fit on the cutting mat since the mat is 12×30. I’ve even tried different settings, but they all have the same issue. Please, please, please let me know what I’m doing wrong.

I just ordered the paper from your link to Paper-Papers.com and I’m not sure which paper color is the ranunculus flower (the tutorial says “blush” and it doesn’t look like any of the papers I ordered).

I can tell that the dahlias are the nude color paper, the dusty miller and hydrangeas are the aquamarine (hydrangea with the wash printed on it), the eucalyptus is the emerald, the succulents are the ruby and the queen anne’s lace is the shimmer white…is it the coral color? The color on the website doesn’t look at all like the pictures you have. I have a client who is in love with that color and I want to make sure I get it right.

Thanks! Beautiful work!

I swear, I made a this entire bouquet and it was EXTREMELY small, the sizing on the cricut website must be totally off… but I have no idea how you’re supposed to resize each one! The hydrangea is a whole page, but they seem very small as do all the others. Can you contact Cricut and get them to change the actual specs so they’re in size when you go to make it? It’s frustrating to be paying Cricut for access to the files and then to have the files be improper

  Most of the flowers in the bouquet do have PDF templates in other posts on the site 🙂

I have a Cricut explore one machine and I would like to know if this machine would work to be able to make these bouquet. If you could please let me know.

  Definitely! I only use a Cricut to make these bouquets 😉 You can definitely cut them by hand, but it is much faster and easier if you have a cutting machine

Hi Lia,
I love your work! I bought my cricut explore last year and never really used it! Now that I saw this bouquet, I am inspired 🙂 I would like to know how many Queen Anne’s Lace, dusty miller and seeded eucalyptus? In addition, did you used 18 gauge stem wire for all the flowers and foliage?
Thanks!

Good afternoon Lia,

This may seem like a strange question, but do you sell the beautiful items you make? I am interested in making this myself, but it seems quite a daunting task seeing as I have yet to try anything like this before. Someone suggested I reach out to you just in case you happened to have an Etsy store, or something similar. Thank you in advance for your time!

All the best,
Brittany

  We do have an Etsy shop that you can find by typing “liagriffith” into the search bar, but we don’t sell any completed projects, just the individual templates (meant for people who want to do a certain craft but do not want to create an ongoing membership). I know this isn’t the answer you were looking for but I hope that you can feel inspired enough to try to get in touch with your creative side 😉

Such beautiful flowers! I have one question about the leaves. Are you gluing the leafs on their own stems or gluing them to the stems of the flowers? Thank you!

  Thank you Nancy!! Good question- each flower and each set of leaves are on separate wires and then arranged after they are assembled. Good luck! 🙂

I’m still a pretty big newbie to the whole Explorer thing.. but I swear that off all the flowers I have cut from this bouquet are a lot smaller than in these pictures! Is that possible? Has anyone else found this to be true for them? I’m sure it will still work and look good.. but the comparison to the size of the hydrangea petal to the size of the models hands/finger makes me think mine are a whole lot tinier.
Am I just having issues visually? lol
(I have cut and made everything and am just at the point of putting them all together)

Also, I don’t remember where.. but I previously asked you a question as to why you state to print with a laser printer… you said at the time it was only because of the quantity you print and that it’s cheaper than using up an inkjet printer ink… but since then I’ve seen you mention to use a laser printer with these papers you use… I’m going to assume it’s because the ink seems to not ‘stick’ well on the metallic and lustre like paper and comes off a bit as you work with the paper?

  With their new software upgrade in Design Space they are supposed to upload in the correct size. However I have seen it once or twice coming in at the wrong size. It is a Cricut thing, you can usually tell in Design Space it it looks off. Our designs are made for size 81/2×11″. I do like a laser printer better, maybe it because I have a really good one;-)

    Hmm… Yea I thought it was just how it was supposed to be so I upped the number of copies per cut to fill up the space 🙁
    Of course I cut absolutely everything on the same paper you use and started to put it together before I noticed it didn’t seem quite right. Now I have a tiny bouquet! Haha at least I know it’s not just me. Lol. So each design space cutting page should be blown up to the size of a single piece of paper. Got it. I shall try again! Thanks!!

Hi Lia!

I just purchased a Cricut and this is my first big project with the machine. Everything is working out great except I am having trouble with the Queen Anne’s Lace and the seeded eucalyptus. It is not cutting the intricate details very well and they are ripping off extremely easily. I am just using regular cardstock from a craft store and the blade that the machine came with. Do you have any recommendations for a different type of paper or a different blade?

I’m not super familiar with these machines yet so I’m not really sure if this is a common issue or not. I just adore everything about this bouquet and I would hate to miss out on these details!

Thank you!

  Congratulations on the purchase of your new machine. The possibilities are endless! Good for you for starting off with one of the less easy projects:-) We usually don’t use card stock, this pattern in particular has to much detail to be cut on card stock. We normally use metallic text weight paper. The tearing has to do with the blade and the setting. We pretty much always use the light grip mat (the blue one) for paper.

  Depends on how many flowers you want to do, if you look at the patterns you can see how many sheets you will need per flower. Some patterns have 4 flowers on one page, others take several pages.

The pack of paper from paper-papers didn’t include the color for the dusty miller. I went to their site to find the color called serpentine, but it looks like they don’t sell it anymore. Can you recommend another color to use for the dusty miller?

Hello,

The link to go to Cricut Design Space says that the page is no longer available. I went in the other posting earlier today, and I was able to pull up the design in Cricut Design Space. However, I am unable to find it in there, and the link is no longer pulling it up for me to purchase. Did something happen and it is no longer available? I purchased the a new Cricut explore machine (I owned the expression 2 previously) specifically to cut this design for a wedding… Please help!

Hi Lia! I’m *so* excited to make this whole bouquet – bridesmaids’ flowers, here we come! I’m wondering what color you used for the hydrangeas – I bought all the colors uploaded to Paper Papers, but it looks like kind of a blue-ish hue that wasn’t among them. Was that color by chance left out?

  I cheated. . . The blue was a printed wash over the paper. You can use the aquamarine that is in the set. Let me know if you would like me to send that to you. It needs to be done on a laser printer though.

  Hi Lia! Since I don’t know what your wedding colors are, I guess I would suggest you pick some papers you think match best. The dahlias can look gorgeous in almost any color for sure and the hydrangea can be a soft white. Make sure you send photos when you are done!! I can’t wait to see.

I cannot take my mini back as I have already played around with it and made some cuts. I think Im going to just try and sell it and go for the Explore. I noticed on Michaels website that there is a Explore Air Bundle coming on March 15th. When I opened it up, I saw your name, so if I wait until the 15th and purchase the bundle, instead of just the Explore then I would end up with your cartridge too? Im sorry – I know you don’t work for Cricut, but Im a total newbie here. haha! Just to verify, if I have an Explore, whether it is the Air or not, I can import your files above onto Design Space and/or Cricut Craft room and be able to cut away?

  You need to select the score for this inner cuts. I will ask the team at Cricut to fix that so it is set correctly, but you can adjust it as well. If you click onto the icon of the line a box willp pop open and give you the option to score or write as well as cut. Choose score.

I absolutely cannot wait for the new dahlia and foliage templates! My boyfriend’s mum has been having a tough time recently, and it would be lovely to make her a bouquet even half as beautiful as this that won’t start to fade after a few days. Thank you so much for your incredible inspiring work!

Wow, you did it again. I am so inspired but also so very impressed. I have been on the fence on the cricut explore and now I just might have to give it a try. I have been hand cutting all of my flower and now I want to incorporate your designs. I so wish we could get the change to meet. Sending hugs.

  Hi Laura, we should have a Cricut crafting party. You are going to love it, I use mine everyday! There is a link on the right that will not only take you right there but also give you any promotions they might be running.

This is just absolutely amazing. I love how your templates make it possible for those of us with the Cricut (and without) to make beautiful flowers (though not as beautiful as this bouquet which is just stunning). You said you would share the folliage on Monday. Are you also going to share how you made those beautiful Dahlias? I have your original Dahlia template but these look different. Help! I love them. 🙂 Thanks a million for all you do. – Sarah

Amazing again Lia!! You continue to amaze me!! Love this – it’s funny because I was just about to download and print a bunch of your paper ranunculus flowers for another project!! I’ve still got over 30 paper roses to cut for a mammoth project I’m doing haha!! I could totally use a circuit explore – bit out of my price range though so scissors it is 😉 Can’t wait for the new dahlia tutorial it’s going to be awesome!!!

  Yes! I am going to share the templates for all of the greens and the outline of the ranunculus too for a different color. Maybe someday you can win a Cricut! Make sure you enter when there is a giveaway.

Oh my Goodness! This bouquet is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t believe how life-like the Queen Ann’s Lace, Pink Dahlias and Dusty Miller are. The Pink Dahlias are so beautiful. Your work is exquisite and your mind is brilliant! I am flabbergasted over and over again at what you do with paper! Thank you again for sharing all your lovely designs!

I’m going to watch Jimmy Fallon and then at midnight I will enter my 6 votes on your behalf for the Martha Stewart contest.

Have a great evening!

Jane

Oh my word!

Lia – while the Cricut may be the cutter, it certainly isn’t the creator.
Your imagination, perfect balance of colours and choice of texture vs size is frickin incredible.

You are SO talented.

I love, love LOVE this collection of flowers.
So beautiful.

I’ll be sharing this post on one of my blogs.

Exceptionally stunning. I do origami bouquets and use some Cricut cartridges, but the Sizzix is my primary tool for cutting petals. I would love to know how the cricut fit into the design of the flowers. So many of your tutorials are created from your own patterns. I love them!!! I hope you continue with both endeavors.

  This bouquet was created from all of my own patterns as well with the Cricut as my cutting tool. As you can see it does an amazing job cutting the details of the seeds and lace. The new Explore is the most amazing machine because it allows me to use my own designs and I make the files available to all of you one way or another. I am now working with and designing for Cricut. No surprise, right? 😉
