WEDDING PEW WREATH INSTRUCTIONS The following instruction are for silk flowers but if you have the time you can use fresh flowers.

You can skip every one or two pews or only put a wreath on the pews that you want reserved. INSTRUCTIONS Turn the wreath over and attach the floral wire to the back of the wreath by making a U-shape and wrapping the ends around a vine. Make sure the wire is attached at the height you will need to hang the wreath and that it will hold. If you prefer, you can use ribbon. Tie the ribbon to the back of the wreath in a loop. This will be used to hang the wreath. If you know where you are going to use your flower wreaths, you may want to measure to make sure the wreaths will hang at the height you want.
Cut the flowers off of the stem by using wire cutters. Using the hot glue gun, put a small dab of glue on the flower end and attach the flowers individually to the wreath.
