Gardenia wedding cake topper pictures from Lindsey

Another wedding cake picture post! Lindsey has emailed me and asked me if I could make for her some gardenias for the wedding cake,initially since I was soo booked for Aug/Sept I told her I was not sure then I felt bad (hate dissapointing people)and just some how squeezed her order in and it was well worth it

Photo credits to Michael Gluzman
Wow how lovely does the cake look???? The leaf idea was Lindseys and full credits to her for the idea as it give a fuller and fresher look than the usual plain white ribboned gardenia cake I have seen!



Lindsey is one of the sweetest brides that I have come across ,she sent these pictures of the gardenia cake and her wedding! (most brides in the "after wedding" buzz forget...luckily for me both Christina(see post below) and Lindsey remembered!)








Let me tell how grateful I am to the brides who take the time to mail me the pictures,makes all the late nights sitting up worth it! Thank you Lindsey!
Best Wishes to you and Kam for happily married life ahead.

A Beautiful Handmade Wedding!

Courtney had ordered a paper flower bouquet in Sept.She has a very very lovely blog at CK and Tay showcasing all her handmade DIY projects.She is one of the most "talented" bride I have ever seen! I happen to browse by and chanced on the wedding photos via thier wonderful photographer Jenna and a wedding video!!! check out the wedding bouuqet in the video and check out the song the groom sang for the bride -lovely -how much more can you ask?




The perfect handmade wedding -both of them are musicians.So they gave each guest a hand embossed CD with their music!

Cake Bird Topper Nest

A wedding cake bird nest topper was custom requested by a client! The bird's nest is handmade! It took a lot of time but it was worth the handmade look I feel.



I had the idea of an arch for the topper and hadn't gotten down to doing to it so when when the request was made I was grinning from ear to ear as it was precisely what I had in mind.The bride's colors were navy blue,burgundy and green,I added velvet leaves in those colors and she requested orange bloossoms,I found a nice branch which I strung on the arch and the birds (how cute are they???) simply put the quaint look on it!



Hope you like it!

stephanotis purple and lavendar wedding bouquet for Tam

I have been working on Tam's order as you can see.Tam is a wonderful bride I feel, she was very flexible (takes off a lot of pressure on my side) and so I felt this bouqet came out very very beautiful and I could choose what went well.

Tam had very very beautiful choices of orange berries,purples flowers and blue forget not,willows,stephanotis.Trust me I was thrilled to read her order enquiry and her combo and jumped right into it as I just knew the combinations was awesome!So Tam all credits to you!






For the purple flowers I chose were dahalias,clematis,ranunculus -one of the best paper dahlias I have ever made I feel.. and one of my best bouquets I have made in paper! I am sure Tam is going to get many Q's like "this is paper?" like I always do at home when guest come..The willow I used brown curly ones and by stroke of luck I saw purple berries -ha -what luck! just a perfect match for everything.


The grooms bout has orange berries,willows,stephanotis finished of with a sheer ribbon.I added a contrast tie of purple,just to add a pop.



The corsages have 3 stephanotis,willows,finsihed with 2 colored ribbons!

Leisa - composite wedding flowers

As you might have seen below Leisa had ordered the flowers for her wedding to match the tattoo on her shoulder of a black peony.Her order was unique and new and wow how unique and new it has turned out.This wedding is going to be a stunner :-) There are too many flower in my house in riots of colors so I thought I will just need to ship some away to make room in my room!!!

These flower are made in a unique manner which is a new unique technique I developed in paper using a technique different from how the usual fresh compisite flowers are made..I am sure I will be exploring more aspects of this design further -all credits to Liesa for her great ideas on the color combos.

The flowers for the bouquet will be red/cream/black.

The throw bouquet flowers are there is pink/grey/black -sooo elegant.


The groom's boutonniere has a velvet leaf and and 2 feathers,
while the best man has a cream/grey/black composite flower.

I found this nice printed ribbon which just went so well with the composites that I used it -(I am crossing my finger that Liesa will like it too :-)) The ushers have grey peonies all wrapped in a printed ribbon and a small black ribbon ties on the stems.

The wrist corsages turned out extremely well,
I used a large flower and some vintage velvet leaves and ribbons and fillers and lo behold I have a GORGEOUS wrist corsage which I am sure is going the be a great hit.The ribbon just gels with the flowers! Great find :-)

jenn sampler

Here is a sampler I am working on for Jenn - Bright and fun!.

vintage wedding bouquet

Courtney had ordered a grey and cream wedding nosegay of ranunculus and poppies,I thought since it was a vintage themed wedding I asked her is I could include some orange blossoms are they were looking lovely together and aptly fit her theme.

The bouquet is a nosegay which has turned quite pretty and refreshing! The bouquet has grey poppies,cream ranunculus,orange blossoms,a bit of twirls of feathers and I added a nice ivory ribbon beneath to give it a nice vintage finish.The bouquet is finished off with a green ribbon which was going better with the bouquet.

anemone hair flower for melanie

I have so many backed up orders I am going nuts here:-),so for 2 weeks or more I will not be taking any new orders for Aug/Sept/Oct as they all have been booked up.The flowers are handmade and do require time -I hate to do them quickly :-) so any pending orders,I do really appreciate your patience...It's been the first year I have turned down orders!

If you do need an order please email me after 2 weeks.

Here is a hair flower I did for Melanie -it's paper anemone -I feel anemones are such a beautiful flower and the paper lend a certain touch of elegence to it.

red anemone wedding bouquet

Christina had ordered the red anemone for her wedding bouquet as well as white for the bridesmaids.


It's turned out lovely,my photographic skills are not that great and for that the pictures look quite fabulous -I can't even image what a professionals might look like :-) (hope christina will sent me some)

(update check out the pictures at anemone wedding bouquets paper

)



The red really pops out and the nice stems was a very good decision I think.Just make the bouquet so much elegant.



The bridesmaids hold white anemones with a nice blue wrap with criss crossed ribbon.

lotus water lily wedding bouquet

I have shifted finally into the new place(love the extra space).Just before the new place was notified to us I had just taken up an order for Julia and found during the move I had to make the flower due to the close time frame.Anyway since I gave her my word I thought I wil go ahead and do the order although it was a bit stressful :-).




The bouquet has 3 large clay water lily lotus like flower which I handshaded to a royal blue tips (the picture is not quite revealing on the shading I think) then it has bright magenta orchids,royal blue filler flower and yellow berries and flower fillers.I tried out the deeper royal blue and felt it lacked realism and so I went for the lighter tone and shaded in the deeper hues.It finished off with a royal blue satin wrap.


The father have a paper flower boutonierres of orchids and a leaf and the mother have a similar version.



The groom has a mini water lily bud.




Hope Julia likes this one.The order is all set for shipping asap since her wedding is next week!!!How I would love to recieve pictures of this wedding! The bride is going to be wearing my gardenia hair flower also!
