The Groom:

Step 1: Wrap 3/8" black grosgrain ribbon around the stem of the champagne flute and glue to hold in place.

Step 2: Wrap the 3/8" white grosgrain ribbon around the top of the stem one time.

Step 3: Cut a piece of the 3/8" black grosgrain ribbon approximately 2.5" long and tie a knot in the middle - this is the groom's bowtie.

Step 5: Cut a 2.5" piece of the 3/8" white grosgrain ribbon.

Step 7: Glue the 2.5" piece of the white 3/8" grosgrain ribbon with rhinestones vertically onto the champagne glass (directly under the bow tie).

Step 8: Cut a 4" piece of the 3/8" red grosgrain ribbon.

Step 9: Fold the piece of red ribbon at a 90-degree angle so that about a 1/2" of the ribbon is hanging down.

Step 10: Roll the rest of the ribbon.

Step 11: Glue 3/8" red grosgrain ribbon rose to champagne flute next to the white 3/8" grosgrain ribbon with silver diamond mesh.

The Bride:

Step 2: Cut strips of the silver diamond mesh, wrap and glue them to the top of the champagne flute stem leaving a little semicircle in the front.

Step 3: Cut one piece of the silver diamond flower mesh and glue it in the center of the semicircle.

Step 4: Cut a piece of white tulle that is approximately 4" long and tie it in a knot around the base of the champagne flute.
