A wedding is such a joyful event. Beauty- excitement- commitment- enduring love- and pure bliss are some words I would use to describe this big day. My cousin was recently wed on a beautiful saturday afternoon. Looking back upon how much detail went into making this day perfect for her was at times a hassle. In the end, everything paid off. She was a radiant bride walking down the aisle, and I was honored to stand up for her as a bridesmaid. As a gift for her, the bridesmaids/ maid of honor, and flower girl, I created something very special that they could keep as a rememberance. I designed three different bouquets.
12 white paper roses for the bride
completely made by hand.
3 funky lavender roses
for bridesmaids/ maid of honor
5 roses with 10 calla lilies
for the flower girl
The girls loved them! Success! My desire was to design something they could keep, rather than throw away. I completed my mission. :)

ReplyDeleteWe made my daughter's five and half years ago from crystals for her a January wedding. It was great to be able to make them ahead of time, something you can't do with fresh.

WOW! They look beautiful in those photos, but I have to say they are even more special in person. :) They definitely will last longer than our real boquets. Mine is in a short glass vase on our dining room table with wedding tapers next to it in the glass flowers vases. I'm glad you were one of my bridesmaids, I wouldn't have done it without you! Luv ya!
