First comes love, then comes marriage...

I am beyond stoked to share my customer Erin + Phil’s wedding pictures today. Stoked times infinity. For one thing, it’s just a downright gorgeous DIY wedding and within seconds of seeing their wedding pictures, I knew I had to share it with you all.

If there’s one thing I l-o-v-e about DIY weddings, it’s the mix of the old and the new. The expected and the unexpected; the classic design with the handcrafted touches woven in along the way. And if there were ever a wedding to swoon, it’d be this one that I was lucky enough to be chosen to design paper flowers for. One part cozy and another part chic, this DIYed wedding is worth a sweet, long look. Hoping for more pictures to come.

From the bride, Erin: I had some gorgeous paper bouquets and boutonnieres made my Fedeliza Yamson Burke. If you're looking for amazing talent and beautiful flowers to hold as keepsakes, check out Azilorchids  page.

Bridal bouquet for keeps...

I've been busy creating a bunch of new pieces to build up inventory. I've finished another paper to canvas piece and an additional arrangement today. One of them is this simple yet stunning bridal bouquet for my friend Whisper, who's putting together her sisters wedding this weekend. This bouquet includes anemones, roses and peonies. Who wouldn't want flowers that don't wilt or die?
