Seashell bouquets

[nursebrooke]

Has anyone made seashell bouquets for their bridesmaids? If so any helpful hints? I am planning to make them, just ordered all my shells today. I think they are so cute, cheaper and something that my girls can keep forever and is symbolic of our beach wedding.

 

Thanks in advance,

Brooke

This sounds like a great idea and thoughtful for your BMs. Did you see a pic for inspirations? Im curious to know what would it look like

If you find any tutorials, or helpful hints on line, I would love to know how to make these also. I have looked at quite a few on Etsy, and they are quite expensive, so I have thought of making them as well.

I find A LOT of inspirational material on Wedding Bee. Or simply google "DIY seashell bouquet" - tons of pics!

 

Keep in mind that seashell bouquet can turn out to be rather heavy. Basically, you stick into the styrofoam ball anything you'd like to make a part of your bouquet. Then need to come up with a handle, wrap it in a satin ribbon and voilà! I bet it's harder than it sounds.

I am not craft enough so had to order off Etsy. Love them but expensive!! (cheaper than flowers in Jamaica though!)

I ordered half fake roses and some shells for the BMS and bouts. Still debating on if I should use real flowers for myself or not.
