Wedding Flower Rose Wreath

Here is the last of three projects I  made with the dried wedding flowers........Memories to last forever!


The next time you are at a wedding, grab the wedding flowers, don't let them go to the wait staff or in the garbage....It would be best to wait until the wedding is over lol! 

Ok kids, lets review...Every table at the wedding was set with teapots filled with roses and babies breath

The Wedding is HERE


I started with the babies breath and made a Christmas wreath

Wreath tutorial is HERE


Then I made ornaments useing the roses and babies breath in snap together ornaments from the craft store and water slide decals with the wedding details.

Water slide tutorial HERE...Ornament tutorial is HERE


I still had flowers left......


...So, I made a wreath of roses


I covered a styrofoam wreath with ribbon


And then started glueing the roses on until it was all filled in




I sent the newlyweds the ornaments filled with their wedding flowers and I'm saving the Christmas wreath for them until they get their first house.

Now, this rose wreath, I really love it.....  It's perfect in my shabby little house.  I'm thinking maybe this is a little gift to myself.  SSSHHH don't tell the newlyweds.

Happy Creating!

    Hi Carol,
    Talk about great recycling ideas...you nailed it girl!
    These projects are so beautiful and of course, my favorite is the rose wreath. I could just see that hanging somewhere in my house.

    Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

    Your wreath is so pretty and what a wonderful way to preserve your memories.
    I have a dozen red roses dried, that were a birthday present from our Estonia exchange student. I need to do something with them . . . not enough for a wreath. Do you have any suggestions?
    Merry Christmas.
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)

    The rose wreath is exquisite and you should definitely keep it in your home...you'll take such good care of it! And the wedding was a special memory for you, too! Merry Christmas my friend! It cooled off today and felt more like Christmas, didn't it?

    So very beatuiful Miss Carol! I bet you are so relieved now to be able to sit back and enjoy the Holidays with no more wedding planning. I know it is kinda of a conflicting feeling..you are so excited and exhausted while doing it, then relieved when it is over, been than sad too. I think that is how my Mom felt. Merry Christmas sweet lady from Debbiedoo's and the boys! Hunky man says hello with a smile on his face.

    Carol,
    I've so enjoyed your posts re: the wedding flowers. I LOVE that Rose Wreath!!!!
    I love Roses!! My husband is very thoughtful and buys me lots of them. I always dry them and use them in projects and in my decorating. I almost like them better once they are dried. I am going to have to make me a rose wreath!!
    Once again.... thanks for inspiring me.
    Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
    Happy Holidays,
