Popular flower choices include:
- Lavender
- Baby’s breath
- Spray roses
- Wax flowers
- Dried florals
- Mini daisies
Step 3: Wrap the Bouquets
Wrap each mini arrangement in paper like a flower bouquet and secure tightly with twine.
Step 4: Add Personalized Tags
Attach a small name tag to each bouquet for seating assignments. Handwritten tags add an especially beautiful personal touch.
