Richard's Samples of large party paper flowers

I got an email from Richard of Richard Des Jardins,NY for some samples of my large paper party flowers for a wall art he is planning to make.



He asked for a 12 inch ivory rose, an 8 inch white rose and some more smaller flowers and of course he liked the pink peony so much he asked me to add one of that too!



A gorgeous pale pink 3 inch rose

I was super busy trying to get ahead with Jude's order for large paper flowers for her wedding with other orders close at my heels again...Here are the latest flower that I created.The bride would hold a whisper pink peony seen below.It has sooo many petals that I lost count how many I included.It's 1 feet across and a a show stopper :-) peony with stamens in the center

The bridesmaids are going to be holding different kinds of large paper flower.Here are some shots of them.
She has asked for a large mum,large peonies,rose and marigold for the bridesmaids to hold.






The order also has small white mums and light pink paper peonies.

Jude's wedding with St Jude's paper flowers!

A few weeks ago a client came to me with a special name! Jude! I was really happy to hear the same name as my name and well as my business name which is named after St Jude the great patron of hopeless cases. I have had great favors that were received from my patron saint :-) hence in thanksgiving I named my business after him.


Anyway Jude has ordered flower for the entire wedding in white a and whisper pink,the pictures are following.
The peonies in whisper pink!




My house is in a riot of colors and is looking so beautiful with nancy's extra order of orange and yellow poppies and Jude's order.


The bridesmaids are going to be holding single large paper blooms in white
while the bride is going to be holding a whisper pink peony which is what I will be tackling next.

Paper poppies in yellow and orange and red roses bouquet

I am making flowers for Nancy for her wedding.She ordered for yellow and orange poppies and red rose and what a head turner it's turning to be! I thought the combination wouldn't go well together but the moment I saw them together I knew I have a winning combination on my hand!

See the pictures,I am not much of a photographic genius and the pictures don't show justice:-)



I am trying to hurry up here :-) as I need to get this out this weekend with another large order coming up!!!

Crepe paper flower for cakes inspired by Martha Stewart

I was pretty surprised to see crepe paper flowers used by Martha Stewart on fondant covered wedding cakes! See the following picture:


Picture courtesy www.marthastewart.com A real beauty.

Now I was really inspired by the new crepe paper peonies I made to turn them into flowers for cakes.It's something I am looking into especially when brides would like to cut costs in this economy.

Some flowers on top and graduating down would look gorgeous!

Table arrangements as centerpieces for weddings and parties roses,lillies and daisies.

Here are a few table arrangements I thought I should post about : My family as you know are all creative (my sister and my mother,my aunts)
Now here is a collection of arrangements we have around our house so you can have an idea of the atmosphere we grew up in.



This is an arrangement of red paper roses and gerber daisies!






Another arrangement of peach roses and paper lillies
My house was always filled with gorgeous arrangements like these which we used to change on a regular basis!

Paper Flowers

Crepe Paper Calla Lillies

I made the crepe paper calla lillies for the 3 bridesmaids and was pretty pleased with the outcome.All in all the crepe paper lillies presented the greatest challenge anyway it brought back m long forgotton painting skills.The calla lillies are all handpainted and look just exquisite!

paper roses

Here are some large paper roses I make and sell through my etsy site.The flowers have 40 petals and and are 8 inches large and are made from paper.There are many colors available.They can be place in vases and would look good in the aisles for weddings,for chairbacks or a as a gift for your loved one,

Here is a listing from where you can buy the paper rose

Please do browse my site at Paper Roses for more of my work!

Bridal wedding paper flower bouquet or a composite bouquet

I have been working on new designs for the Spring and this what I came up with.This is spin off from my large paper flower for pews!I was inspired to make these large single rose composite bouquet orginally designed in the Victorian ages.Now they will serve as a modern wedding bouquet for the bride or bridesmaid or even a flower girl.This can serve as gift or a first anniversary gift too (red is available)!The flower is about 8 inches across and made from paper and very gorgeous.No one would say it's paper!It's a delicate touch to it and something very new and fresh.The are sooo many petals in this flower so that creates such a lush and delicate look for the bouquet.

I made my daughter model it (it took a lot of coaxing to get her to hold it)

You can choose it to be simple rose or the rose can have artificial leaves fanning it.The handle will have nice brooch on it.If you just want a simple one or want more embellishments with the rose like some feather or beads with it,feel welcome to convo me.

Many colors are available like ivory/pale pink/other subtle color.

Thanks for looking,
please take a look at Paper roses for more of my work!

First anniversary - wedding paper flower bouquet

Jamie emailed me and asked if I could make for his first anniversary a paper flower bouquet as paper is the theme for the first wedding anniversary.He orginally asked me for stargazer lilies which we discussed and since my time was limited due to many pending orders I offered to do for him some white paper lilies for him to match his wife Carrie's wedding bouquet.Here is what I created for him 6 large lilies and 3 buds with green paper leaves and white bows and ribbon handle decorated with corsage pins.

Hope Carrie likes them! Here is her wedding bouquet what a beautiful bouquet.


Happy Wedding Anniversary to both of you!

Just an update on this:
Here is the feedback!
