Hayfever bride - paper bouquet...

I've finished off the bridal bouquet for the bride with hay fever.

This forever bouquet flowers have been made with designer papers, card, buttons and beads in shades of purple.

 

 

Finished with a tightly bound ribbon handle and vintage brooch which is removable to be worn at future anniversary dinners etc.

 

 

I will be publishing a video tutorial of how to make your own - but if you don't feel confident at this, then please visit my Folksy shop or web page at www.anniefloribunda where you can buy one very similar.

Rosenations - cross between roses and carnations...

I was asked to make a wedding posy for a bride who suffers dreadfully with hayfever. She is getting married in May and wants something quite simple.

She's not really into bling - so the heirloom vintage brooch posies I make are out of the question, so I have been busy making several differenct kinds of flowers from paper and fabric to see what I come up with...

 

Paper roses and carnations - I might put these together and call them "Rosenations"!

Here are some I've been making and am going to add buttons and beads to and assemble into a posy...

 

 

I'll post a picture of the posy and a tutorial on how to make your own when I'm done x

Cool Britannia!

I've been thiking about the Queens Diamond Jubilee

and what I should do to mark this special year.

I've decided that I am going to make a limited edition of

60

Jubilee Corsages

Each one will be unique, a one of a kind design,

they will all be red, white and blue

and will use materials, ribbons, buttons and beads from the last 60 years

in all of them!

Some will have a vintage feel, others will be contemporary,

Some will be for everyday wear (to the Olympics maybe to spur on our team?)

and some for very special occassions (Jubilee Ball or Night at the Proms).

I've also decied to give 10% of all sales on these corsages

to a charity.
If you want to nominate a charity then please
leave a comment underneath this post).

You can buy them from my Folksy shop
