Use the cement cups as a base and mold the wire into stems.ĥ. Remember to protect your hands with gloves!Ĥ. We varied each stem from 3 to 8 feet high. Purchase stucco corner (sturdy wire) from your local hardware store. Determine how many flowers you’re going to make and pour cement into the corresponding number of plastic cups. Once they were finished, the whimsical daydream came to life. Surrounded by tissue paper and scissors, our talented set-design interns designed and created the rest of the flower pieces at our warehouse. When the idea of oversized flowers came about, we couldn’t wait to make them a reality! Josh, the CFO of Ruche, used his engineering background to design the stems, and with the help of additional Ruche team members, they created them by hand at our warehouse.

They decided to make these giant fantasy flowers for their spring lookbook, which is aptly titled “Enchantment.” Read below for the story of how this project came to be, and find the full tutorial after the jump. This particular giant-flower DIY project comes from the creative team at Ruche. Her huge paper blooms made such a splash that she started selling them in her shop, and just recently Brittany wrote a great article for Brooklyn Bride about the paper flower trend. I’m thrilled that this is a growing phenomenon I adore anything made in exaggerated scale, so I feel that the more giant flowers and plants there are in the world, the better. You may remember the wedding of our lovely D*S contributor Brittany Watson Jepsen.
