Yay it's Friday!
Yesterday I promised to give you a sneak peek at my wedding bouquet.
If you remember back to this post, I was exploring the option of making my own "non-traditional" bouquet.
I'm known for my craftiness, and would just love to implement that into our wedding.
This first bouquet is an unfinished prototype, but I was bound and determined to show it to you whether it was complete or not.
First I made a bunch of white and yellow roses...
(sorry I only have pictures of the white ones)
Then I used a whisk as my skeleton and glued on all my felt roses and leaves.
I have no idea why the white roses look blue in this picture.
Anyway, I was planning on decorating the handle with some ribbon and a big bow.
After a few discouraging words, this poor bouquet got tossed in the trash...
(don't worry)
(I saved it from doom)
I am planning on making two to three more bouquets so I can experiment with different fabrics.
It's more of a trial and error process, but I am learning along the way.
Tell me, honestly...
What do you think of my felt bouquet?
Oh my goodness!!!!!! Brittany! I absolutely LOOOOVVVVEE your felt bouquet! It's SO adorable! You should totally use it for your wedding!!! It would be so cute! :) You're so amazingly creative! I wish I lived closer so you could teach me! =D

I think this is a super sweet bouquet! I say walk down the aisle with that sweet thing!
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable! It'd be super cute to cover the handle with some pretty ribbon!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great - how amazing to ahve a bouquet you made yourself! XX
ReplyDeletelooks fab, miss! xo
ReplyDeleteLove this idea...especially the colors! Another idea would be to do them all one color, but have a few different flower shapes.
ReplyDeleteI also like fabric flowers that have a wire frame for the petals. Lots of fun shaping them however you like!
Oh! Thanks for inviting me to take a look. I think it's really pretty and I love seeing people do something different than what's traditional. It might be cool to experiment with some rolled rosettes and some like this:
