DIY with FlowerBouquet.pk: How to Make a Beautiful Gajra

Flowers have always been a part of South Asian traditions, from weddings and mehndis to Eid and everyday celebrations. One of the most timeless floral accessories is the gajra—a delicate string of jasmine or roses worn around the wrist or in the hair. At FlowerBouquet.pk, we believe in celebrating culture through flowers, and today we’ll show you exactly how to make a beautiful gajra at home.

🌸 What is a Gajra?

A gajra is a traditional floral ornament usually made with fresh jasmine flowers (motia), roses, or a combination of both. It’s commonly worn during weddings, mehndi ceremonies, Eid gatherings, or even casual festive events. Not only does it look beautiful, but it also spreads the sweet fragrance of fresh flowers.

🌼 Flowers You Can Use for a Gajra

For the perfect gajra, choose flowers that are fragrant, fresh, and easy to work with. Popular choices include:

Jasmine (Motia) – the most traditional choice, known for its heavenly fragrance

Roses – red or pink mini roses add colour and charm

Marigolds – bright orange and yellow for a festive touch

Baby’s Breath – delicate white fillers for elegance

You can find fresh flowers for DIY projects in our FlowerBouquet.pk Bouquets.
