Walk down the aisle to meet your future spouse on a sea of gorgeous rose petals amongst romantic lanterns and candles in glass votive holders. This DIY hanging floral altar is a gorgeous, and inexpensive, way to make the exchanging of your vows extra special. With its distinctly Moroccan feel this floral altar is sure to stand out. Here's what you'll need to get started.
First, select the desired colors from the packs of Two-Tone Flower Polyester Leis. Next, cut each lei in half and tape the ends to prevent slippage. To tape securely, fold a flower back over itself on the cotton string. Do not tape onto the plastic tubing as this may cause the flower to slip off. To create longer strips of flowers tape them end to end.
Next, use a glue gun to glue a Gold Glitter Votive Holder to the bottom of a Gold Geometric Sphere. Insert a Battery-Operated Tea Light Candle into the votive holder. Hang the sphere from the ceiling using an S-hook.
Attach the floral leis to the bottom of the sphere using floral wire then add in greenery (e.g. jasmine, eucalyptus or fern over the floral wire connections. Incorporate carnations and dahlias as accents inside the sphere.
Spray paint Medium Polyester Palm Leaves gold. Once dry add a layer of gold glitter paint.
Next, spray two White Metal Lanterns gold. Add a Battery-Operated Round Flameless Candle to the lantern and place one on each side of the altar.
Add Hot Pink Rose Petals and a small mix of flowers from the lei's to the bottom of the altar. Spread them out down the aisle to create a romantic walkway for the bride.
Place Battery-Operated Round Flameless Candles inside Large Cylinder Glass Vases and Glass Cylinder Vases. Set these with the lanterns under the altar. Mix in additional lanterns or Moroccan tea lights if you have them to create a beautiful vignette at each side of the altar. Now it's time to exchange vows!
