This craft involved me locating an extra wedding program, my paper cutter, the bouquet, and the garter. I also had to do some floral modifications. Hence the twenty minute part.
Today, I’m forever enshrining some wedding momentos in a shadowbox. I snagged this particular box from AC Moore with a 40% off item coupon. I went with the 11×14 size because our programs were 8.5×11 unfolded. I realize I could’ve picked the square 12×12, but I wanted to create a bit of a border around the perimeter.
Gather:
Your dried bouquet or remnant flowers
His boutonniere (if you have one, Mac did not)
Your garter
A program
Any other small trinkets (unity candles, gift tags, empty bubble container, placecards, etc)
1. Carefully cut the program along the scored middle seam. Obviously, I used a program that hadn’t been glued to a stick.
2. Center on the shadowbox and pin or glue down.
3. Arrange the non-floral items to fill in any white space. Pin or glue down.
4. Place your bouquet (or flowers) and boutonniere. Pin or glue down. I did this last to inflict minimal damage to my delicate dried roses.
5. Admire your handy work. Place in a conspicuous location and brag about it at every opportunity.
