DIY Wedding Flowers: Homemade Boutonnieres

You didn’t come all this way to look anything less than amazing. Pick the weather forecast that matches your wedding location to find the style that’s right for you. Hot and Humid Climates The Style: Up but loose Why it works: Whether you have all-out curls, a bit of wave, or a stick-straight mane, you’ll want to make the most of your natural texture while avoiding frizz. David Shmagin, a stylist at the Robert Kree Salon, in New York City, calls this look “organized chaos.” How to: Let hair dry naturally for maximum smoothness. Hair gets frizzy because it sucks moisture out of the air; avoid that fate by running a humectant styling product lightly over hair. Smooth hair with a curling iron and pin up random sections, starting with the sides. Cold Weather The Style: Pulled back with a low, asymetrical bun Why it works: This style allows you to use a loose hat without messing things up. How to: Blow-dry hair. Run a drop of anti-frizz shine-maker over hair to conquer flyaways. Pull hair into a low, tight ponytail. Use pins to fasten hair in a tight, off-center spiral near the base of the skull, covering the elastic. Mild, Temperate Climates The Style: Down but loose and easy Why it works: This weather invites an easy, natural look. How to: Divide dry hair into large chunky sections and curl with hot rollers or an iron, says Shmagin. Let cool completely before touching. Rake a dollop of shaping humectant-styler through hair. Dry Heat The Style: Up and clean-looking Why it works: Keeping hair away from your neck helps you stay cool. How to: Dry hair and run a flat iron over it for extra gleam. Pull it into two high ponytails, says Shmagin, one on top of the other. Split the top ponytail into two sections. Wind each section around a curling iron to smooth, then pin to loosely cover the elastic. Repeat with the other ponytail. Rub a few drops of a silicone gloss-maker over the front and sides. Avoid These Disastrous Combinations Hot Sun + Colored Hair The hot rays won’t zap your color if you use a protective leave-in conditioner with SPF. Go easy to avoid looking oily. Dry Heat + Dull Hair In the months leading up to your big day, schedule weekly deep conditioning treatments to optimize hair’s health. For a quick fix, add shine with a dollop of moisturizing pomade. Humidity + Frizz To keep hair smooth, you must first blow-dry it completely (any moisture invites frizz). Then seal it with a swipe of a frizz-fighting silicone product. Stash a mini bottle with a designated bridesmaid for touch-ups. Sea and Sun + Fragile Hair Stop hair from snapping and breaking by getting a clear gloss treatment at the salon (Redken makes a good one, says Shmagin). It lasts four to six weeks, he says, and protects hair while adding much-needed shine. Follow up on location with a leave-in strengthener.

DIY Wedding Flowers: Homemade Boutonnieres

We suggest using a hardy flower with a big head such as a rose or miniature calla lily; they can survive being handled. You can make a boutonniere the day before the wedding, and be sure to get extra flowers for practice. Here’s a step-by-step guide on do-it-yourself boutonnieres.

Step 1: Selecting & Preparing the Bundles of Blooms
Pick your bundles of bouquets.
Remove excess foliage and thorns, and pull off damaged petals.
Fill a sink or bucket with water, and holding the stems underwater, use the stem cutter or knife to cut the stems at an angle about two inches from the bottom.
Allow the flowers to drink for a few seconds with the stem ends underwater, then place the stems in a bucket filled halfway with cool water until you are ready to use them.
Knot Note: If you are working with roses and the heads aren’t open yet, you can force the blooms open by placing the stems in a bucket of hot water; do this only for a couple of minutes just before you are going to use the roses, otherwise you might kill them.

Step 2: Choosing & Preparing Particular Flowers
Choose a particular stem and/or flower for the boutonniere.
Use a stem cutter or sharp knife to cut the stem to a length of approximately three inches.
Create a bed for the flower: Take an ivy leaf, fern frond, or other bit of greenery and place it behind the flower.
Knot Note: The bed should not extend much beyond the top of the flower, and it should be visible from the sides.
Place a six-inch piece of wire behind the stems.

STEP 3: Crafting the Boutonniere
Prepare the stems: Starting from the top of the stems, begin to wrap floral tape down the stems in a spiral to secure them together; wrap until about 3/4 of an inch is covered.
Trim away the excess stem and continue to wrap floral tape around the wire about three inches down, then wrap the tape back up toward the flower head.
Once you’re back at the top, wrap tape around several times to be sure it’s secure.
Trim the excess tape.

STEP 4: Securing the Boutonniere
Finish the boutonniere stem: Trim the wired and wrapped stem so the total length is about 1 1/2 inches.
Curl the end around a pencil point and pinch the tip to finish it.
Attach a ribbon bow (if you like).
Depending on the weight of the boutonniere, insert one or two pearl-tipped pins into the stem to use later for attaching it to the lapel.
The boutonniere is now complete! Mist it with water and place it in a resealable plastic sandwich bag (blow a puff of breath into the bag before you seal it to provide airspace around the boutonniere). You can place up to two boutonnieres in the same bag.

DIY Hair Accessories: How to Alter a “Something Borrowed” Veil A veil is one of the most beautiful and symbolic parts of the wedding ceremony, (in addition to the big white dress) and is often what finally transforms a woman into a bride. Make this light-as-air accessory even more meaningful by incorporating your mother or grandmother’s veil as “something borrowed.” To get a good idea of what you’re working with, first start by gently hand washing the veil and then allowing it to air-dry. Replace the Comb If the comb is dated or in disrepair, you may be able to update the veil just by removing the old from the tulle, purchasing a new one from a bridal shop, and carefully attaching it Adding or Removing Sparkle Your grandmother’s veil was chosen to match the style of her dress way back when, and now, so many years later, its style may differ from the gown you’ve chosen. To make a sparkly veil more simple and modern, first try to remove a single bead or crystal from a very un-obvious location, like where the tulle bunches or somewhere near the hem on a long veil. Carefully snip the thread that attaches the bead to the fabric with a seam ripper or small scissors. If a small hole is left in the fabric, it’s likely that you won’t be able to remove the embellishments. If the fabric is unscathed, then go ahead and carefully remove the rest. Alternatively, to add sparkle, first clip pictures of veils you like and want to emulate. Then go to a bead shop (with your pictures and the veil) and select the perfect sparkles. When you get home, lay the veil out on a table and experiment with bead placement, using pins to try out different options. You can space them randomly all over the veil, just put them on the comb, or gather them along the veil’s hem. When you’ve settled on your design, carefully stitch or glue the embellishments (with a tiny bit fabric glue) to the tulle. Adding a Ribboned Edge A satin-y ribboned edge on a veil makes it look fresh and clean. Lay your ribbon (or cotton cord, or whatever trim you’ve chosen,) about 1/2 inch from the edge of the veil. Attach with a straight or zigzag stitch. Being very careful, and using small scissors, cut the tulle as close as possible to the outer edge of the ribbon.
