fall wedding flowers!!!

Fall weddings are beautiful with the gorgeous color scheme - Jayne had ordered a fall wedding bouquets for herself and the bridesmaids for her Oct 10th wedding.She is allergic to flowers!! She had initially enquired for a garland for the chuppah and I totally jumped at the chance to create one for her..




The wedding bouquet has orange paper lilies,sangria dahlias,red roses and yellow ranunculus.I added a few green fillers,the bridesmaids are wearing this dress.

The bridesmaids get these bouquet -mix of all the flowers.The corsages has a lily,a rose and ranunculus.The men wear orange paper rose boutonierres!!

AND FINALLY here is the master piece -(I am dreading packing this) the Garland,I went WAY more than them budget but anyway hope it is beautiful enough for the wedding-oh how I would love to get a picture of this on the chuppah :-))

on a side note -the silver vase arrangement is for mediabrandsww for their first anniversary!





The garland consist of large paper roses in sangria,orange large dahlias(a new additon btw) and pops of yellow and red all tied in with dried green salal leaves a total of 10 feet in length.A labor of love..I think it going to be first of many orders to come..imagien other color scheme.I was thinking Jayne can easily take this off the chuppah and use it as a garland to decorate the bride and groom table..
for the reception

Leisa - composite wedding flowers

As you might have seen below Leisa had ordered the flowers for her wedding to match the tattoo on her shoulder of a black peony.Her order was unique and new and wow how unique and new it has turned out.This wedding is going to be a stunner :-) There are too many flower in my house in riots of colors so I thought I will just need to ship some away to make room in my room!!!

These flower are made in a unique manner which is a new unique technique I developed in paper using a technique different from how the usual fresh compisite flowers are made..I am sure I will be exploring more aspects of this design further -all credits to Liesa for her great ideas on the color combos.

The flowers for the bouquet will be red/cream/black.

The throw bouquet flowers are there is pink/grey/black -sooo elegant.


The groom's boutonniere has a velvet leaf and and 2 feathers,
while the best man has a cream/grey/black composite flower.

I found this nice printed ribbon which just went so well with the composites that I used it -(I am crossing my finger that Liesa will like it too :-)) The ushers have grey peonies all wrapped in a printed ribbon and a small black ribbon ties on the stems.

The wrist corsages turned out extremely well,
I used a large flower and some vintage velvet leaves and ribbons and fillers and lo behold I have a GORGEOUS wrist corsage which I am sure is going the be a great hit.The ribbon just gels with the flowers! Great find :-)

orchids and peacock feather wedding corsage

Julia emailed me and asked if I could do her wedding flowers for her Aug 15th wedding.Here is a sample I made in paper.Her colors are royal blue,magenta,browns.Although she said she wasnt sure about feather I thought I would create a mockup which I tried out!


Let me know if this is fine and what you might like.I have not added the ribbons to the mother's corsage.

Anemone Wedding Cake Topper revisited for bouquets

I have been requested many times to make anemones wedding bouquets for brides.Anemones wedding cakes are the latest now in the bridal scene and I have about 3 bookings this spring for bridal bouquets with them and anemone wedding cake topper.I am really looking forward in making them.Here is the picture I think about 5 brides have forwarded me a very nicely decorated set of cakes.




Here are some old pictures I had done of blue anemones! which I though I should revisit and arrange for my viewers that they know the range of colors options







Orange and yellow anemone held together

Today I had an urgent request from a bride's wedding coordinator whose baker suddenly stood up on them and she asked if I could do a large anemone flower for the bride's cake.Th flower would be the only flower atop the cake and lo and behold she forwarded me the same picture! I thought I would give it a try in decorative clay and here is the result
Mind you the flower is 5 to 6 inches across! Here is my listing for it at Anemone cake

where you can buy one similiar to it

I liked the idea very much especially for a bride on a budget! I think I need to find a cake "form" from somewhere to take pictures of flowers atop it.Right now my simple paper box will have to do:-)

Here is a new set of 5 I made


and here is a set of 5.Click on picture to take to the listing.
