Learn how to make a decorative floral wily that attaches to a table. It’s a gorgeous and unique party decoration that can be well-timed to any theme or season.

I have the most gorgeous DIY party decoration to share with you today. It’s a trappy floral wily that attaches right to a table, so it’s perfect for decorating the bride and groom’s table at a wedding or the supplies table at a nuptials shower, birthday, victual shower or holiday. Change out the floral picks and you can make it work for any season or occasion. Just think how pretty a Christmas version would be!

I’ve styled my wily with neutral fall florals in a soft verisimilitude palette of cream, white, sage untried and just a few pops of orange and I am veritably smitten with the sophisticated storing vibe.

Let me teach you how I made it so you can make one too!

Materials Needed

I thought I might use ribbon to imbricate over the woebegone metal pole, but in the end I decided I didn’t need it. So I guess I’ll get to use that gorgeous sage untried velvet ribbon for something else. Oh shucks. LOL.

And just in specimen you’re curious, the tablecloth is this Olive Woven Striped Duck Cloth Fabric with this wood charcuterie board is on the table under the pumpkin centerpiece.

Instructions

Step 1: Lay lanugo a tablecloth, if desired. Attach one clutch to each end of the table over the tablecloth, making sure the clamps are evenly spaced and tying securely.

Step 2: Unfold the rod so that it turns into a long pole. This is just like the poles in a tent. Place the two ends of the rod into the holes in the clamps. Secure with woebegone Duck Tape. You don’t want those poles popping out during your party!

Step 3: Begin attaching floral stems to the wily using zip ties. Alternately, you could use florist wire, but the zip ties were so handy and easy to use that I really do recommend them. Remember, you can use wire cutters to cut bushier floral stems into several smaller pieces. Then you can spread the smaller pieces throughout the wily for a increasingly well-turned look.

Step 4: String the fairy lights throughout the arch. Make sure to weave the wire in so it is not noticeable. I used two strands of lights and placed the shower packs next to the clamps on either end and then had the two strands meet in the middle.

Step 5: When you are happy with the squint of your floral arch, use wire cutters to trim off all of the zip tie tails.

Then turn those fairy lights on and revere the stunning exhibit you just created. I don’t think pictures do it justice. It is seriously SO. PRETTY. in person.
