DIY: Floral Pergola Project

DIY Floral Pergola Project

Our DIY contributor, Amanda of Anthomanic, is back today to share a relatively simple, yet stunning do-it-yourself pergola floral project. Yes, it is possible to create this gorgeous floral project yourself! Let’s see how she crafted it…

Supplies:
– three sets of rod pocket style curtains installed on an adjustable tension rod
– approximately 12 yards loose mixed texture fabrics
– 40+ yards loose mixed width ribbons
– 20 stems pee-gee hydrangea
– 2 bunches of silver dollar eucalyptus
– 1 bunch pink gomphrena
– 2 tillandsia
– step ladder, scissors and roll of binding wire

Step One: Create a base of large fabrics by hanging the tension rod from the pergola with wire

Step Three: Add loose pieces of ribbons, tying in place if necessary

Step Four: Gather mixed ‘bouquet’s’, hand tie and place at top of pergola draping over the front. Thread wire around the bouquet and around the pergola to hold it to the structure. If your pergola structure doesn’t allow for this, attach the flowers to the front face of the structure. If floral must last for more than a few hours, it is recommended to supply the flowers with a water source such as water tubes — water tubes are the simplest DIY supply in this project. Here we only used tubes for the hydrangea, as the other flowers will last just fine out of water for a few hours. Setup time, approximately 30 minutes

Pretty gorgeous, right?! You could easily swap out flowers that work with your color scheme and use fabric with color if you’d like or keep it simple with neutrals. So many options! Hope this is helpful for you DIY brides out there! And remember, if you make one of our DIY projects, be sure to share with us on Instagram using the hashtag #GreenWeddingShoesDIY
