Step-by-Step Instructions
Build the Frame
Set up a PVC pipe frame or use a freestanding backdrop stand. A 2m x 2m frame works well for most events.
Attach the Base Layer
Wrap the frame with greenery garlands using zip ties or floral wire. Cover the entire frame for a lush base.
Add Feature Flowers
Attach your largest artificial flowers first, spacing them evenly. Use hot glue or floral wire to secure.
Fill with Medium Blooms
Add medium-sized flowers around the feature blooms, creating clusters for a natural look.
Add Small Details
Tuck in smaller filler flowers, baby's breath, and extra greenery to eliminate any bare spots.
Final Adjustments
Step back and assess. Adjust any flowers that look uneven and add trailing greenery at the bottom.
Safety Notes
Ensure the frame is stable and secure before adding flowers. Use caution with wire cutters.
Waste & Recycling Tips
Artificial flowers can be reused for future events. Store flat in a cool, dry place.
