Spring Into Wedding Season with this Trendy Farmhouse Chic Centerpiece

Is there a Spring wedding in your future? Bowdabra makes it so easy to create beautiful on trend decor. Today I am sharing a “Farmhouse Chic” table centerpiece.

Brides Magazine lists the hot Spring wedding trends as:

“Living Coral” Pantone’s Color of the Year
Bringing the outdoors in (lots of foliage and unexpected foliage like pampas grass)
Eco Conscience Weddings (check out Megan and Harry’s Royal Wedding! – think upcycled items and natural wood)
Scented Candles

This chic centerpiece hits all the hot trends. Let’s get started!

Bowdabra Chic centerpiece

Gather supplies:

Bowdabra Bow Maker
Bowdabra Bow Wire – Gold
4″ Wide Ribbon (I am using a gorgeous ribbon from Katherine’s Collection)
Vintage Brooch
Mason Jars – 1 Qt Wide Mouth, Mini
Scented Tea Light
Faux Pearl Strand
Optional: Mini Frame for table number

Make it:

Start by cutting a piece of the 4″ ribbon the circumference of your large mason jar PLUS 1″ – set aside
Cut 2 pieces of 4″ Ribbon 18″ long to make your bow
Cut a piece of Bow Wire 22″, fold in half, place on your Bowdabra and tuck the ends underneath the unit to keep them out of the way while you work
Pinch and tuck center of one of your 18″ ribbon pieces and slide into Bowdabra – these will be your bow tails, and we will trim as the last step

Pinch and tuck 1 end of 4″ and place into your Bowdabara with WRONG side facing up.
Loop your ribbon in a big arc and pinch and tuck opposite end onto your bowdabra so that you have a large loop with the RIGHT side of ribbon showing (see photo)

Pinch and tuck center of your loop into the Bowdabra

Tamp down with Bowdabra wand
With bow still on the unit, pull out your bow wire, thread cut ends through folded loop and pull tight. Knot on the back side

Pin your vintage brooch to the center of the bow

Using the bow wire, tie bow onto the ribbon you cut to go around mason jar – knot tightly
Slide bow onto your mason jar
Trim ribbon tails at an angle, curl them and fluff bow loops
