It is a known fact that Christmas is the most popular time to get engaged. So, for all of you new fiancés out there, we are here as a great source for your DIY wedding! Paper flowers are my favorite wedding DIY and such a great place to add a little personal touch. Our original rustic bridal bouquet in muted and pastel tones is such a gorgeous bouquet, so after many requests, I designed another version with brighter colors. For this frosted paper bridal bouquet, I made bright coral dahlias, peach ranunculus, and blue hydrangeas.

Coral and peach are such pretty colors, especially for a spring or summer wedding. Plus “living coral” is the Pantone color of the year for 2019, so it’s bound to pop up in a lot of wedding décor as you search online for ideas. You can also see more ideas in our gallery of paper flower bridal bouquets and find a full range of inspiration in our wedding library on how to DIY decorate for your special day.

Frost Yourself

The flowers in this bouquet are all made from a text weight frosted paper that I cut on my personal cutting machine. I love to use frosted paper because it adds dimension to your flowers and makes it look like the colors change, which is more realistic. You can pick paper colors of your choice, but I encourage you to use the lighter paper for all of these blooms rather than a card stock as they will shape and create a soft, natural-looking petal with the text weight paper.

But, you may be wondering if it’s really worth it to make paper flowers for your wedding. And if so, I think it is! Here are my top 7 reasons I feel making paper flowers for a bridal bouquet is such a great idea:

  1. You will be carrying a piece of art down the aisle
  2. Your guests will enjoy seeing your gorgeous bouquet—it’s one of those things that will always be talked about!
  3. You can save your bouquet forever and always look at it with fond memories of your wedding day
  4. You can use the same flowers to make a wreath or centerpiece for your home
  5. Adding a bit of DIY to your wedding makes it unique and personal
  6. You can strengthen your personal community by inviting your friends and family over to create with you
  7. Making and creating is always good for the soul—and what a great way to infuse that into your wedding day!
