.Rustic Elegance Part 3.

The DIY wedding crafts are starting to dwindle down..only a few more left to share! I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen so far and most importantly--


HAVE BEEN INSPIRED! 


After the flower bouquets were completed, I turned my attention to the men! I continued to use the artificial flowers from Michaels and the left over ribbon and berries to make the boutonnieres for the groomsmen and of course--my groom! These were incredibly simple to make and I had them finished in no time (I'm sure it helped we had a small wedding party!) I started with the extra flowers I had leftover and kept the petals on their tiny stem bundle. I used one bundle, which consisted of 3 flowers, for each of the groomsmen. I then added one tiny piece of a branch and wrapped both with wire and then covered with ribbon--it was THAT EASY! We used one pin each to secure them onto the men

Very simple + Using the leftover scraps = S U C C E S S 


For Adam's boutonniere, I used 2 bundles of flowers, more twigs, and added some green berries to match my bouquet. We had to make his a little different from the rest of the men... after all, he was the GROOM! 







Here is a shot of all the men together--how STUDLY are they?!

The wedding day was rainy but we were able to step outside to snap some quick photos. Not sure if it was the lighting or setting on the camera, but you cannot really see the green color of the vests and ties. The pictures taken inside turned out better but what can I say--I still like this photo best!


Thank you for reading, only one more post to go on our DIY wedding crafts!
