Wedding Bouquets in YELLOW, COBALT BLUE and BOOK PAPER

A book loving bride recently contacted me about creating her wedding flowers and besides sharing her vision of a book-themed wedding (with simple yet stunning table centerpieces of her and the groom's favorite hardcover novels stacked under unassuming Mason jars filled with water and floating candles), she asked me if I could make her bridal bouquet in YELLOWS, BLUES and BOOK PAGES touched with turquoise blue ink..

How magically romantic is that!

I personally love this sunny palette so it was a great pleasure to create her flowers.

Seen below are the Bridal Bouquet, the Maid of Honor Bouquet and the Junior Bridesmaid Bouquet.

I'm also making a pomander for the flower girl, the groomsmen boutonnieres and corsages for the mothers.

RED, CHAMPAGNE and WHITE

This lovely piece was created for Sandra who wanted a wedding bouquet in RED, CHAMPAGNE AND WHITE.

I made roses in red and peonies in white, and for the "champagne" part of the palette I used book paper to create more roses (touched with ink to give the petals more definition).

Red and white paper lace butterflies complement the flowers and a lovely high quality satin ribbon ties it all together.

Ivory Gold Pomanders for Anna's Wedding

I just received this happy photo from one of my favorite Etsy clients, Anna, who had her wedding this summer.

She wanted paper flower spheres for her five flower girls in an ivory gold palette, and she wanted each pomander personalized with the girl's name. It was such a sweet idea, I couldn't resist it :)

So, for Emma, Mya, Lexi, Kiki and Hanne I made paper butterflies to carry their names in gold ink, and attached them to the paper roses in colors ranging from soft white to gold and polka-dot yellow.

I'm so happy these paper flowers made it to such a nice wedding and that Anna and the girls were happy with them.

For a person who likes to play with paper, there is nothing so rewarding as knowing that your paper creations have found a good home with people who will appreciate them.

So, Anna, thanks so much for sending the photo!!!
Cheers!

Gray and Yellow Paper Flowers

This color combo seems perfect for today's weather: a mix of clouds and sunshine, a strange calm before the pending storm.

Polka dot yellows, shimmer papers, gray and silver and lovely lovely vellum. All flowers are dotted with pearly beads.

Emerald Greens - Book Paper Flowers Wedding Bouquet

Green is not the most popular color for wedding bouquets, but sometimes, when a bride has a vision, emerald greens are just the fresh crispy thing one needs to color a beautiful summer wedding.

The bride in this case, Heidi, asked me to create roses from book pages and touch them with green inks, add emerald touches and construct bouquets for her and her wedding party.

This is the first piece - the bridal bouquet.

Vellum Flowers

These almost transparent flowers are made of vellum paper. The layers of petals in different sizes are held together by a jeweled metal brad.

The flowers may look dainty, but they traveled across the Atlantic to Europe and were hung all over my parents' house as decorations for the wedding.
