Wedding & Party Decor Inspiration - using our gift boxes

Tuesday, 17 September 2019

wedding and party decor inspiration using gift boxes | Creative Bag and Historia Wedding and Event Planning

When Gloria Vazquez-Abrams from Historia Wedding and Event Planning showed us her mood boards for a styled shoot she was planning we were more than happy to take part in the event. Gloria's idea to use our Queen West gift boxes and gift bags in the wedding decor was so creative and inspiring and we think that you will agree once you have seen these photos that were captured by Samantha Ong Photography.

Our Queen West Blake boxes were topped off with beautiful crepe paper flowers from Floral Fantasy Studio  and used as centrepieces in the tablescape set up. The floral details in the gift boxes worked so well with the pastel mix and matched china, the floral menu cards and the floral details in the lollipop favour packaging.

The gold foil edging in the gift boxes also worked so well with the gold accents in the glassware, china and cutlery

Giant tissue paper flowers are one of those DIY projects that can be translated to fit almost any theme and colour scheme and when you group together a collection of tissue paper flowers they can make a huge impact. Use them to create photo backdrops at weddings, celebrations and pop up markets.

It really doesn't matter if your flowers look like a specific type of flower. Use our templates and diy instructions as a guideline. Tissue paper and sizzle are available in many different colours so go ahead and just have fun.

Here's the supplies we used to create our giant tissue paper flowers: tissue paper, sizzle, natural excelsior, twist ties, cardstock, scissors and our petal templates.


Let's make a "sunflower" (or a flower with pointed petals):

diy giant tissue paper flowers | Creative Bag

Cut the tissue paper petals using the sunflower template in the quantities indicated.

Scrunch the flat ends of the tissue paper to create the petal shapes.

We suggest cutting a piece of cardstock cut into a circular shape so that it can be use it as a base to form the flower and afterwards for hanging purposes.

Create the first layer of  your flower by gluing the petals to the cardstock as shown below ...

Once the first layer is complete repeat with the remaining larger petals to create a second layer ...

Now that you have the hang of it, add two more layers of petals using the smaller petals ...

Once the petals are all set, glue a scrunched up ball of sizzle to the centre of the flower.

You can also create flowers with a more rounded petal shape using our other flower petal templates.

Cut the number of petals as indicated on the template and then follow the general directions for scrunching the tissue into petals and gluing the petals onto a cardstock base ...

We added a few layers of contrasting tissue paper (circles that were scrunched to give them a little texture) and then added natural excelsior to the centre of this flower.

Giant flowers take up a lot of space and you will find that you do not have to make many of them if you are trying to create a large backdrop. Try to vary the size of the flowers a bit so that you will have some that are a little bit smaller to fill in the spaces between the flowers.
