paper peonies

One of my etsy client had bought my peonies and requested she wanted another dozen to gift someone,I thought since it was quite a while she ordered I thought I will have to just get down to doing it before I move to other orders and here are the flowers,







Thank you,
your repeat business is greatly appreciated!

anemone hair flower for melanie

I have so many backed up orders I am going nuts here:-),so for 2 weeks or more I will not be taking any new orders for Aug/Sept/Oct as they all have been booked up.The flowers are handmade and do require time -I hate to do them quickly :-) so any pending orders,I do really appreciate your patience...It's been the first year I have turned down orders!

If you do need an order please email me after 2 weeks.

Here is a hair flower I did for Melanie -it's paper anemone -I feel anemones are such a beautiful flower and the paper lend a certain touch of elegence to it.

red anemone wedding bouquet

Christina had ordered the red anemone for her wedding bouquet as well as white for the bridesmaids.


It's turned out lovely,my photographic skills are not that great and for that the pictures look quite fabulous -I can't even image what a professionals might look like :-) (hope christina will sent me some)

(update check out the pictures at anemone wedding bouquets paper

)



The red really pops out and the nice stems was a very good decision I think.Just make the bouquet so much elegant.



The bridesmaids hold white anemones with a nice blue wrap with criss crossed ribbon.

lotus water lily wedding bouquet

I have shifted finally into the new place(love the extra space).Just before the new place was notified to us I had just taken up an order for Julia and found during the move I had to make the flower due to the close time frame.Anyway since I gave her my word I thought I wil go ahead and do the order although it was a bit stressful :-).




The bouquet has 3 large clay water lily lotus like flower which I handshaded to a royal blue tips (the picture is not quite revealing on the shading I think) then it has bright magenta orchids,royal blue filler flower and yellow berries and flower fillers.I tried out the deeper royal blue and felt it lacked realism and so I went for the lighter tone and shaded in the deeper hues.It finished off with a royal blue satin wrap.


The father have a paper flower boutonierres of orchids and a leaf and the mother have a similar version.



The groom has a mini water lily bud.




Hope Julia likes this one.The order is all set for shipping asap since her wedding is next week!!!How I would love to recieve pictures of this wedding! The bride is going to be wearing my gardenia hair flower also!

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.
