At your wedding, squillions of photos will be taken. SQUILLIONS. And what could make for a prettier backdrop to alllll the pictures than a floral heart wreath installation? And best of all, it can be done for under £50… The photo opportunities with this hanging piece are endless. I envisaged this one being used as a photo booth backdrop for the bride and groom and guests to pose in front of, but it would work equally as well as general wedding décor: imagine it strung behind the top table or hung from rustic shutters or doors, or as a backdrop to the dessert table. If you’re getting married in a barn it would look SO GOOD against a stone wall. The single hearts also make gorgeous stand-alone pieces: string them from tree trunks if you’re having an outdoorsy/backyard celebration, or hang them off chairs to mark out those all-important Mr and Mrs seats. Here’s how to do it.

DIY Floral Heart Wreath {What You Will Need}

Rattan heart wreaths Ribbons or twine Branch Scissors Flowers (I used a mix of lisianthus, wax flowers and mini chrysanthemums, but faux flowers would work just as well) Fishing wire Nail The heart wreaths were a bargain at £8 each from Hobbycraft. I went for the largest size (45cm) to create impact, but Hobbycraft also do smaller wreaths for a mere fiver which are just as pretty. #notanad #ijustlovehobbycraft

DIY Floral Heart Wreath {Instructions}

1. Prep your flowers. With the smaller buds of the lisianthus, I cut them down so their stems were around 5cm long, as they look pretty side-on. With the larger lisianthus flower heads, I just left a centimetre or so of stem.
