Article Summary: There are several paper flower wedding gift ideas for the Maid of Honor. Your Maid of Honor is a woman who you most likely have known for several years if not all of your life. You probably know her even better than she knows herself and vise versa. Sisterhood or friendships like this one should be treasured and appreciated. Making this woman a special gift shows just how much love and admiration you have for her and her gift should reflect that. Making her a paper flower wedding gift

There are several paper flower wedding gift ideas for the Maid of Honor. Your Maid of Honor is a woman who you most likely have known for several years if not all of your life. You probably know her even better than she knows herself and vise versa. Sisterhood or friendships like this one should be treasured and appreciated.
Making this woman a special gift shows just how much love and admiration you have for her and her gift should reflect that. Making her a paper flower wedding gift is a perfect way to show her how thankful you are for all the help and input she has contributed to your special day.
While trying to figure out what type of gift to make her don’t think to hard. The simplest things in life are what true friendship is all about. The fact that you have decided to make her a special gift shows that you care enough to spend the time crafting something your Maid of Honor will love and treasure for many years to come.
All you need to do is follow one simple rule. Remember the gift is for and about your Maid of Honor. It is not about you or your wedding. Certainly she would like a beautiful canvas painted picture of the two of you on your wedding day but that makes the gift about you and your wedding. Not about how much you love and treasure your relationship with her so make the gift about and for her.
The first thing your Maid of Honor will notice when you give her the gift is that it is handmade! The second thing she will notice is how much you actually do know about her. Many times sisters or best friends spend hours talking and sharing, and over the course of several years you may often wonder is she even listening to me? That’s normal we all become self-absorbed and some things go in one ear and out the other. Show her you have been listening and paying attention all these years.
You are going to be crafting a paper flower gift for her so you need to know what her favorite flower is and her favorite scent. This may have escaped your memory over the years but that is okay because while planning your wedding it should be simple enough to put those questions into any conversation without her thinking twice.
A few other things, it would be helpful to know is depending on the type of gift your going to make is her favorite candy. You certainly do not want to give her a lovely box of raspberry truffles the night before your wedding to find out she’s always been allergic to raspberries! It may be helpful to know her birthstone or favorite gemstone and even what type of earrings she likes best. All these answers will help you create one of the two gift ideas I’m going to present to you below.
1.) Candy and Flower Gift Box - Using your Maid of Honors favorite flower, make one or two flowers. Next you will need a gift box, wrap the gift box in crepe paper using her favorite color. Attach the flower(s) you made to the top of the gift box add a small splash of her favorite scent to the flowers. Place a sheet of crepe paper (again her favorite color - hopefully she has two) inside the box. Fill the box with her favorite candy. I do not recommend any loose candy or tossing a one pound bag of M&M’s or Sweet and Sour Skittles in the box. That might have been okay when you were 12 but not now! Place the lid back on the box. Tie the box closed with a thin piece of silk ribbon or a few pieces of curly ribbon.
2.) A Bouquet & Bracelet - If your budget allows a nice gift option is a handmade crepe paper bouquet of her favorite flowers with a beautiful birthstone or her favorite gem stone as the bouquet holder. (In place of where you would tie the ribbon.) Just make sure when you present her with the gift that the bracelet is visible so it doesn’t slip off and become lost in all the excitement.
One of these two handmade paper flower wedding gifts will no doubt make your Maid of honor feel like the bell of the ball at least for a few brief moments!
