Wedding signs...

Good morning,

I have been away for a bit and working hard at new designs for my on line store, studio and wedding show events. 

This post is all about the Wedding Chair Sign, I love the look of the chalkboard signs that I just had to make one with paper flowers. How cute is this...

I'm HERS and I'm His wedding chair signs for the head table. I love the tree peony so much that I added them to the corners of the sign with a orange and red for HER and blues for HIM. 

I than thought that after the wedding you could hang them over the couch or even the bed. Fun home decor too.

Hope you enjoyed the wedding signs and paper flowers for today. 

These lovely signs are for sale in my etsy shop.

Grab a prop and strike a pose......

Good morning, I am so sorry for not posting yesterday....I have been busy finishing up two full wedding and snapping a few final photos before they are shipped off. I love that my flowers last forever and can be shipped...haha.

A wonderful friends daughter is getting married in September and I was trilled to be designing her wedding flowers. Can I tell you she had amazing ideas. I love when a bride puts me in place and asks for flowers I have never done before such as the "air plant" can I say yes....I love it.

Are these not the most amazing paper flowers you have seen today....lol. I just love the details.

I can't wait for the wedding to happen and see how OUR VISION came together. Really it was all hers but I helped.

Even the grooms, and groomsman flowers are so pretty.

On that note, have a wonderful day and see you soon,

Hugs, Laura

Gathering ideas...

Good morning,

I thought I would share a little of how inspiration comes when creating for a custom bridal bouquet. One of my lovely clients sent me a piece of her wedding invitation envelop line. This has been her colour theme for the wedding....which is an amazing idea.

I collected my papers and matched the sample with my paper. Once the colours were layed out I was ready to start the process of  flowers. I or we ( bride ) decided the statement flower would be the Peony...which is done of my favorite flowers I have been designing. It has such wonderful details. The center is so much fun and lots of work but very much worth it. Once that flower was made I decided on 2 more flowers.

Here is a sneak peak of the process and I will keep updating as I go and the final bouquet.

So as a note...when you are looking at creating a custom look start with inspiration may it be a photo, fabric, scrapbook paper or your favorite pair of earring and pull your paper and flower will start to flow....

Hugs,
Laura

A little potted rose....

There are so many roses to love and today's post is all about the potted rose plant. I love the tear drop shaped petals of these potted rose. I made them for my studio and the best part is they look lovely everyday.

I went to my local dollar store and purchased a clay pot, some moss and a foam circle. I cut the circle in half and glued it in place. I added the moss to the top of the foam half circle and my potted plant was started. 

Then off to my stack of papers and I decided on Tutu Pink as my rose colour. I love tutu pink....it is soft and pretty. I then cut out my roses and inked the edges for a more realistic look. Cut out several leaves and attached them to the stem of each rose. I pressed the three roses into the foam.

This potted rose is perfect for giving as a gift to a friend, host or for yourself.

Enjoy the sun.....

Its Offical.....I am a blogger!
