Vases and Candle Rings

Lately, I've had requests for items other than bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres, which is a nice change every once in a while.

Candle rings do take more time, while vase arrangements are basically a bouquet that doesn't need to have the stems wrapped, so they take the same amount of time.

The above are samples I made for a wedding in lavender and white. An easy little mix of flowers to go with the lavender heart shaped bouquet set. I believe that vase arrangement was priced at $15.00, a small one for a vase that was signed by the guests (a neat alternative to the guest book).

Pretty in Periwinkle

This is a periwinkle set I've made for a bride. The bridal bouquet is on the right with white lilies and roses and periwinkle hydrangea (a personal favorite), and the left is a matching bridesmaid bouquet with white roses and lilies, and more of the periwinkle blue hydrangea. Each come with a matching bow.

Here is a 9.5" round handtied red and ivory rose bouquet. This is made for an order for a bridesmaid's bouquet. It's what I would probably call a medium size, my small is a 7" bouquet and sells for the great price of $10.00. The medium is only a few dollars more for a few more roses.

Weddings come in all colors...

This corsage is a sample for a bride who is having white, silver (pewter tone), and black wedding colors.

I used a pewter colored spray paint to turn a white rose into this sort of antiqued rose. This picture is of a corsage, and a sample of pewter ribbon in the background.

If this order is picked up, I will post more pictures of the completed items, but I didn't want to spray a lot of silver flowers only to find out they wouldn't be used. :)

Red & Ivory wedding flowers

These are Red & Ivory rose bouquet samples that were requested by a bride on ebay. The bride's bouquet measures 14" across by 22" long with red and ivory roses. The bridesmaid bouquet (8" across by approximately 12" long) is handtied, the stems wrapped with ivory satin ribbon, and also containing red and ivory roses. The background is my wedding dress, which is white.

The maid of honor's bouquet will be a little larger than the bridesmaid and include some open red roses along with the rosebuds pictured.


These are red rose boutonnieres that are samples for the fathers, grandfathers, and ushers....the groom will have an ivory rosebud boutonniere, and the ring bearer will have two smaller ivory rose buds for the boutonniere.


I will be making a sample corsage to post either during the course of this weekend. (I'll be picking up more of the open ivory roses to do so tomorrow-Sat).

Pink ribbon vs. Coral ribbon

The bouquet on the left has a coral ribbon, on the right a hot pink ribbon with a peachy sheer ribbon.

Pink & White Peonies with Peachy roses

Above is a bridesmaid bouquet. It has the peonies and roses and a hot pink satin ribbon with a peachy/coral sheer ribbon.

The bride's bouquet is oblong in shape, non-symmetrical, with peony and rose leaves coming out and around the sides to soften and frame it. The stems are wrapped with a white satin ribbon, and the bow is a simple single loop on each side with streamers. The ribbon is 4" in width (the biggest satin there is around, I think! :)
