I was looking at OnceWed today and there was this great idea for diy herbal bouttonnieres. Here's the info:
You will need:
13 small stems of herbs (choose varying colors and shapes)
3 stems of small berries
floral tape
narrow ribbon
1: Start with a leaf stem like sage to be the backbone of your boutonniere. This leaf is just for support.
2. Place taller, lanky herbs like lavender and rosemary on top of the leaf. It’s OK for them to sit higher than the first leaf.
3. In front, place smaller rounder, herbs like oregano or thyme blossoms or fruit like blueberries. Heavier items always look nicer at the bottom with the leaner stems poking out the top.
5. Secure with floral tape,
6. Wrap the ribbon around the stems several times to disguise the floral tape while leaving a length of ribbon free to tie up the ribbon at the back of the boutonniere.
Such a great idea for fall weddings!
