Five floral suggestions to get you started:

Once you've selected the dried flowers you want to use for your dried flower boutonnieres, it's time to arrange them. Start by cutting a few dried stems of each flower type into small pieces and arranging them in a bundle. If you're making multiple dried flower boutonnieres, make sure they are all around the same size. Typically the groom's is made slightly larger. Once your dried flower bundle is arranged, secure it with floral stem tape or twine and add a ribbon in the color of your diy wedding for an extra special touch. Don't forget to stretch your stem tape to activate the glue!
