Making A Sample Bouquet For My Niece : ))

One of my nieces is getting married in June and I'm making paper flowers for the wedding.  Today I've just been playing with some card stock and tissue paper flowers.  I'm really liking the tissue paper flowers the most, since they have a real softness to them.  So I think I'm happy with this sample...I hope she likes it.  She lives in California and I live in Arizona so we'll be doing a lot of texting back and forth and sending photo samples..."been there...done that", with my own daughter's wedding planning, but gosh I'm so enjoying this project.

What's On My Craft Table?...

I've been working on some new Boutonnieres.  My niece is getting married in June and her flower theme is Cherry Blossoms.  I'm calling this color "Deep Aqua Blue".

The Beginning of a Wonderful Journey

When my daughter Amber announced her engagement and that they wanted a DIY wedding, I couldn't wait to get started on crafting Bouquets and Boutonnieres for the wedding party. I created hundreds of felts flowers, some with crochet and beaded accents and some with embroidered details. After weeks of handcrafting each Bouquet and Boutonniere we were ready for the Big Day. The Wedding was so beautiful and  I received so many nice compliments on the work I did. So I decided that maybe I could make these lovely keepsakes for other Brides. So this blog is dedicated to my crafting journey, sharing my love for pretty, handmade items...Enjoy and please give me any feedback or suggestions on selling items on Etsy.
