Why kill fresh flowers for your bridal bouquet when you can just make your bouquet and turn it into a keepsake forever? I’m not entirely sure where the trend started, but origami bouquets are fast becoming a DIY favorite for thrifty weddings. Origami flowers come in eye-popping colors you don’t always find in real flowers, and they create a romantic, feminine atmosphere minus the cloying smell. Not to mention that you can easily save thousands of pesos on wedding flowers by creating your own out of paper instead. Even if you don’t know how to make origami flowers, you can easily learn through the help of origami books or online tutorials. Don’t have time to fold all those flowers yourself? Make origami-flower-folding a fun social event instead of a chore! Invite several of your girlfriends and bridesmaids over for a small origami party. Just make sure you don’t end up damaging the flowers you’ve already created.

Your origami bridal bouquet will make a lasting impression if you try using both plain paper and printed paper. Although you can easily use construction paper for the plain colors, you’ll need to buy special origami paper or kami if you want prints on your flowers. Grab a bouquet stem from a flower shop, cover it in satin ribbon, and you’re good to walk down the aisle.
