wedding stephanotis bouquet

I had an order for a white stephanotis bouquet with crystal encrusted in the centers,I was not quite happy with my taped stems of the bouquet I did last time so I gave a upgrade for Whitney and decided her bouquet will have clay stem too.

The stems add such a natural look to them that I thought I should just wrap with a white ribbon and leave it like a fresh handtied bouquet.Hope Whitney like this :-) idea.

paper peonies wedding bouquet

Here is the wedding bouquet for Celeste of peonies,tulips and roses in ivory and yellow and white.

I was hoping to match the dress and tie the bridesmaids bouquets.I left out the darker tone of yellow.The bouquet has an ostrich feather trim -(hope no one has allergies -dont want anyone sneezing through the ceremony :-)) - looks very beautiful -now the only thing missing is the groom's boutonierre which is a gardenia and fillers.

Yellow tone wedding bouquet of roses feathers

The bouquet for Celeste is finally getting together (thank you Celeste for your patience)- I was waiting for some leaves.Here are the bridesmaids bouquet - the bouquets look exquisite with velvet vintage leaves made in 1960's!! and gorgeous feathers as the wrap!

Very different from what I usually do.



Here is Celeste's dress (beautiful) and I kept that in mind all the time -I hope the bridal bouquet matches this!











The handle looks just lovely doesn't it? The colors and the trim go soo well together -it has a regal touch just like the dress.

Calla lillies and orchids in paper for Helen

Helen had placed her order last year and I thought I should be doing this one first.She initially ordered green orchids then thought white would be better -so here is her order 4 doz white orchids and 1 1/2 doz calla lilies.The orchids took up a looong time for me to do - I am going to be retiring the orchids as they take up too much of time - maybe small orders will be taken up (lol)
