White Alstroemeria Corsage

This a very neutral and gorgeous wrist corsage with white alstroemeria and green hypericum berries which would go with any dress!

White and Green Orchid Silk Wrist Corsage

Orchids seem to be the best flower to use for a silk wrist or pin-on corsage, they are so beautiful and realistic!  The glitter ribbon from Lions Ribbon is so great to work with and add a little satin ribbon for softness and bling!

Silk Corsage

We have started leaning toward silk corsages now, because we have found some great realistic flowers at the appropriate sizes.  When you order fresh sometime you do not know what size your are going to get.  Just don't like an overpowering wrist corsage!  We tried a some soft pink ranunculus, beige rose, green hydrangea on a slap braclet.

Making MR & MRS Burlap Table Runners

We had a busy weekend making burlap table runners for our next wedding.  We started out measuring and cutting burlap, zigzaged the edges (or you can fray the ends).  We used the Cricuit to cut out freezer paper for the lettering.

Laid it out so the letters would not land under the place settings or table arrangement.  Then ironed it down.

Sprayed it with paint. Let dry and peel off paper.

And it turns out perfect!.   No overspray!  Watch our blog to see how they look on the tables!!

Orange, Purple and Burnt Orange

We tried different flowers this time and it turned out  awesome.  Burnt orange Callas, orange spray roses, yellow billy balls, pincushion protea, kangaroo paw (which we loved) dark purple carnations, purple statice and wrapped the stems with dark purple ribbon and then wrapped silver crinkle wire and add diamond pins.


The bout we used the burnt orange calla with a magnolia leaf, kangaroo paw.  Love that Kangaroo paw!

Another Pink Wedding



We did another pink wedding this weekend!  Just Love the colors!  We used pink roses, green hypericum berries and seeded eucalyptus.  The handle held was banded with three ribbons and hot pink pins.
