How To Execute A Wedding Bouquet Made Out Of Movie Tickets?
Posted on: November 14, 20094 comments so far (is that a lot?)
Hi All!
I have kept almost every ticket from the movies that my fiancee and I have been to from the last 8 years and I want to create my bridal bouquet out of them for our movie theme wedding next summer.
Does anyone have any ideas how I may execute that? Maybe what I can use as a base, and then decoupage the tickets on it?
He proposed at the movies, we are hoping to get married at an old theater and we really want to incorporate the tickets into the wedding.
Any other suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks!

You could buy some silk flowers. Take all the leaves off of them, use the movie tickets as the leaves around the flowers.
Instead of having an actual bouquet (I went to a wedding where all the girls carried little umbrellas), you could make a fan out of the tickets. Or you could make a director’s clapboard out of the tickets. Not sure how formal or how much of the theme you are incorporating. Instead of the flower girl dropping flowers she could drop the tickets. Instead of pew bows (if your in church) or at the end of an isle of chairs make a nice little arraignment out of the tickets.
Hope this helps!

You can learn how to fold the tickets into tiny stars from an origami book. You can then put each ticket/star on a stick or something in along with the flowers in the bouquet. The stars can unfold again afterward, but you should definitely practice your folding skills if you do it. Folding something that small is hard.

Sounds like a neat idea! What about making just the wrap around the flower bouquet out of the tickets? As some brides wrap their bouquet stems in fabric or crystals?
Sorry, that’s all I have! I’ll add more ideas if I think of any more. But I wanted to let you know I love the idea of incorporating the movies into your wedding!

I agree with the bouquet stems idea… there’s really no other way to incorporate them without making the bouquet look like something out of the recycle bin. Keep it classy!
