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.

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.

More pictures on the gardenias wedding bouquet

Here are more pcitures on the gardenia wedding bouquet.Now firstly I finished off all the 12 corsages!





Just finished up the gardenia bouquet and added a blue large bow to it!





A clay gardenia hair flower would have looked good with this!It looked sooo great that I thought I should be relisting it!

Take look at my listing at Artificial Bridal Gardenia for the hair wedding The flower would be 3.5 inches big just right to wear in the hair for your wedding.

wedding Gardenia bouquet

The clay wedding bouquet looks likes ,I used a staggered approach rather than creating a rounded bouquet and added some vine and folded leaves.Nancy had a lovely idea she just wanted the stems of gardenia tied together and she wanted a dozen gardenia separate.What she plans is to give them to her family and they would come up and give it to her to add to her bouquet - a nice touch of including the family in the wedding!

The bouquet is not yet complete.I have tied a blue ribbon bow to it!


The mother in law likes red roses so we thought we would create a red rose corsage for her - havent yet added the ribbons to it..





The ring cushion has these: 2 large gardenias and bud.

Handmade artificial flowers : Double Gardenia corsage for wedding bouquet

The order that Nancy placed was for gardenias in clay for the bouquets so I created some clay gardenias and tried out corsages with them and they turned out sooo well.

The main wedding order of Nancy is for an artificial clay gardenia bouquet.She has 12 boutounierres and 13 corsages!

Here are some inspiring pictures.I am debating whether I need to put the twig curls in or not?

Gardenia Corsages:
with a twig in it?

I might go with the 2nd one??

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!!!
