DIY Herbal Wedding Boutonnieres

<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The lovely ladies of <a href="http://www.oncewed.com/25329/diy-wedding/diy-herbal-wedding-boutonnieres/"><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">Once Wed</span></a> have created a beautiful herbal boutonniere, perfect a Spring wedding! </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Herbs are casual and aromatic and perfect for a late summer or fall wedding. As far as ingredients go, the sky is the limit! Here I’ve incorporated blueberries with lavender thyme, oregano and sage and wrapped them with a sweet dotted ribbon for contrast. The best part is that the boutonnieres could be dried and used for cooking later, making them completely Eco-friendly!</span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicvhrqBelnJEy4rSZFefDcHOUqFRv01o_mNZHkFAoJFEb5cB0Q-_6yVKhLPgVC0Kp6rtFVgeo2751XhOnpSbX5BC4xUeQPy1eUOtp3mF6-YS5qhZCuZlsMhD40ilGRQfq6c_xAHKUV4PkG/s1600-h/diy-herbal-wedding-ideas2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443516001649665666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicvhrqBelnJEy4rSZFefDcHOUqFRv01o_mNZHkFAoJFEb5cB0Q-_6yVKhLPgVC0Kp6rtFVgeo2751XhOnpSbX5BC4xUeQPy1eUOtp3mF6-YS5qhZCuZlsMhD40ilGRQfq6c_xAHKUV4PkG/s400/diy-herbal-wedding-ideas2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 333px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgz3J0H4hgN5T-2PXo5A1uA05e01tb42sMhwRI_iCtLZDZF7voRwh-DNbrbFo84F2SFRMVJHY8fQih-ym4OX6CAVNIx0gUxKvsUNSYwMbF87hNs561cdYWkZI2u9YeUilbHTcE0G7UPK6Z/s1600-h/diy-wedding-boutonniere-ideas.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443516012630983986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgz3J0H4hgN5T-2PXo5A1uA05e01tb42sMhwRI_iCtLZDZF7voRwh-DNbrbFo84F2SFRMVJHY8fQih-ym4OX6CAVNIx0gUxKvsUNSYwMbF87hNs561cdYWkZI2u9YeUilbHTcE0G7UPK6Z/s400/diy-wedding-boutonniere-ideas.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size:85%;">You will need:</span></div> <div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size:85%;">13 small stems of herbs (choose varying colors and shapes)</span></div> <div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size:85%;">3 stems of small berries</span></div> <div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size:85%;">floral tape</span></div> <div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size:85%;">narrow ribbon</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW-XcjYRYAQgzZiVsU6ZXsT6FWU-OaYKGmriGe-AvviDN4txJN5HUBnXLmWx1ohXwemfcJND69NbasZYMmNoOz9Qssj2aazIvQPfxsizCoEQl-D3WFTiqRE034Inp19ZA1BK5qLLgjg4Dv/s1600-h/herbal-wedding-ideas.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443516694947999522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW-XcjYRYAQgzZiVsU6ZXsT6FWU-OaYKGmriGe-AvviDN4txJN5HUBnXLmWx1ohXwemfcJND69NbasZYMmNoOz9Qssj2aazIvQPfxsizCoEQl-D3WFTiqRE034Inp19ZA1BK5qLLgjg4Dv/s400/herbal-wedding-ideas.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 297px;" /></a><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">1: Start with a leaf stem like sage to be the backbone of your boutonniere.
