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!

Wedding paper flower bouquet for Desiree of dahlias,dogwoods and cyclamen

The wedding paper flower bouquet I made for Desiree is complete.The bouquet looks soo real that if Desiree does not tell anyone it's paper many people are going to get fooled by the flowers!






I made the paper flower bouquet with burgundy dahlias and hand shaded plum dahlias.The bridesmaids hold hand shaded calla lilies with DECO clay dogwoods and cyclamens.


I finished off all the bouquets with burgundy ribbon and added a button to the bow to add a bit of 'wow' factor:-)


She requested a red poppy for the groom as he is a soldier (who served in Iraq!!!) so I created it in DECO clay.Added a bit of feathers and a Velvet leaves.The 3 ushers have a orange blossom boutonniere as in DECO Clay! They turned out sooo beautiful and real.

Here is a vintage inspired artificial wedding bouquet of roses,stephanotis,green orchids and fillersWe had a big wedding this week and we did the bouquet for the bride and small bouquets for the flower girls.

The bouquet is a mix of many things and we had a vintage inspired bouquet of roses,clay stephanotis,berries,gold brocade handmade roses(!!!)and artificial green orchids.The pictures don't show justice and I am hoping for better pictures from the official photographer.




The bouquet's were such a hit of the wedding and got many compliments!

handmade wedding bouquet dahlia and doogwood in burgundy and plum

I was trying get my bridal wedding bouquet done and here are the pictures! The wedding bouquet has burgundy dahlia and plum dahlia also which turned out really good.At first I just wasn't satisfied with how it looked as I wanted to "hit this one out of box" as it's a combination rarely requested! After fretting and praying about it I think I got it right when I added the plum accents.





more coming ,lots to done,I am already behind schedule! My little daughter (3 yrs)has been upto mischief and has a big laceration after being cut on broken glass :-( on the hand so things are going slow here!!
