DIY Floral Chandelier

Using two-by-five-foot metal grids, the bride and her mother made a DIY installation of silk peonies to hang above the ceremony altar. “Since no one was close enough to them to tell whether the flowers were real or not, using fake ones was totally the way for us to go,” Lauren says. “It provided a ton of flexibility to design them in advance and made transporting them to the venue a breeze.”
