Pink-Hued Book Paper Rose Boutonniere

Here it is.

A book paper rose inked with pale pink ink.

It's one of a kind and I made it just for Judy's wedding this fall.

The boutonniere is part of the Pink Champagne Book Roses set and accompanies the paper bouquet I made a while ago.

This color palette (pale pink, peach, cream and book paper) is so romantic and one of my favorite, and I'm so glad the bride that gets to carry these flowers down the aisle is one who appreciates handmade beauties.

Wishing you all the joy in the world, Judy!

My own patterned paper: Boutonnieres, Corsages and Cake Flowers

... Here is the second part of my post about my own patterned paper.

I turned the flowers I made from the stamped paper into pin paper boutonnieres, corsages and cake flowers.

And here is the Bridal Bouquet that will be central piece of this nature and book themed Alaska wedding.

Yellow and Cobalt Blue Paper Boutonnieres and Corsages

These are the Yellow and Cobalt Blue paper corsages and boutonnieres for Chelsea's wedding.

Constructed petal by petal thanks to a lovely light yellow paper and the heavy use of my brand new sharp precision scissors.

Simple adornments:

• blue pearls (and a white pearl for the groom's boutonniere)
• vintage gold ribbon, and a
• yellow satin ribbon.

These flowers complement Chelsea's bridal bouquet in Yellow, Cobalt Blue and Book Paper.

Also, see her flower girl's pomander in the same colors.

Corsages and Boutonierres in White and Blue

Paper flowers in shades of blue and white with lovely pearly buttons, handmade leaves from green paper, folded petals, and turquoise ribbon - perfect as little wedding party accessories, such as boutonierres for the groomsmen and corsages for the ladies.

These were inspired by Holly's wedding flowers I made a couple of months ago. For a limited time, you can see them in my Etsy shop.

Deep Wine and Pink Champagne Paper Flowers for Joslyn's Wedding

This bouquet was constructed from handmade paper flowers and butterflies to match Joslyn's vision of a vintage style, old Hollywood wedding.

Her palette: deep red, pink champagne, mauve, etc, was the starting point for the flowers, to which I added embellishments, such as, lace butterflies with crystals, tiny glittered butterflies, metal flower charms, pearls, vintage buttons and lovely red satin ribbon.

Joslyn also asked me to make her paper roses for the boutonierres and corsages for her wedding party.

She wanted champagne roses with some wine accents for the centers, so I used petals in deep wine and dark red pearls.

Each rose is wired and has a paper leaf made of two layers of papers. The rose petals come in three shades: shimmer ivory, champagne and deep wine.

Two of the roses needed to be extra special, so I added lace paper butterflies and double paper leaves.

Each flower is wrapped in deep red satin ribbon, which can be tucked into a button hole, or twisted around the wrist as a corsage.

Peaches and Cream - Boutonierre

The person who bought my Peaches and Cream Wedding Bouquet also requested a matching boutonierre, and so I made one using the same designer paper, inks, buttons and lovely velvet and satin ribbon.

Here is the result.

One Elegant Summer

This is the theme of one very special summer wedding. The bride, Holly, told me of her vision of bright blue summer skies, grass and a general sense of freshness.

She wanted a wedding bouquet.of paper flowers, a couple of pomanders, handmade buttonnieres for the groom and the two groomsmen, and corsages for the mothers.

Here is what I came up with.

3 Deep Purple + Green Flowers

Last night I played with my pretty double-sided paper and a new batch of cat-eye inking pads, and these 3 flowers came out as the result.

You can see that the deep purple leaves are handmade too. I used my lovely new gel pen in gold (from Paper Source) to draw the lines. They glitter in the sun - and stand out in such an awesome way against the dark purple.



I also had pretty buttons laying around, so each flower has 2 layered buttons (purple and lilac) for its center.
