Nicely formed

Wedding bouquets have never been so exciting! 

Different shapes, sizes and materials.

Real and artificial flowers, Jewellry, feathers, paper and buttons all now play a part in dressing wedding bouquets. 

Here's some unique flowers that I have made for brides...

 Pretty Pastel posy made from paper and buttons for a bride with hay fever

 Heart shaped bouquet using buttons and brooches 

from the Victorian era to modern day jewels! 

Simple, real daffodils, poshed up with some pretty vintage lace and button

Purple feathers, jewellery and buttons 

Silk flowers with diamante spray and vintage brooches

Foam roses and spotty organza

Made from the pages of Romeo & Juliet - 

origami flowers and leather button centres

Whatever you are having your bouquet made from, you will probably be using one of the traditional florists forms. 

Which shape will you choose?

Martin Lewis Style Wedding Flowers!!!...

I felt good today. It's been a lovely, crisp, (dare I say it?), Spring day in Lincolnshire and my spirits were lifted every time I caught sight of the bunch of daffodils and tulips on the windowsill. 

It got me thinking, that not many spring brides seem to consider daffodils for their wedding flower. Yet they are so sunny, so bright and soooooooo cheap. 

The perfect flower for a rustic, country wedding. 

Imagine, jugs full of them on each table or all the way down the aisle - 

you could afford to go really over the top - 

plus if you get them from Tesco at the moment, 20p from each bunch goes to cancer charities - 

I've added a piece of vintage lace and a button to mine to make them into a beautifully simple bridal posy... 

 I'm going to add some gypsaphelia to this bunch tomorrow - 

pop back and take a look :-) 

Weddings don't have to cost a fortune to be beautiful!

Vintage Cup Cake Tea party / Wedding

Had to share these with you...

 

Cute cup cakes made with real flowers -

perfect for that very English tea party get together or vintage wedding.

Available to Hire from Anniefloribunda, Lincolnshire for just £5.00 each

 

They are part of a display piece I am doing for a Mad Hatters Tea Party at

Night Rose Bridal's wedding shop window...

 

I stuck lots of pretty plates together using glasses and small jars as spacers

 

Then added flowers, pearls, fairy, drink me bottle, keys cups etc.

You could make your own one and give it a very personal touch

(maybe line the jars with photo cameos of you and your partner?

I wanted it to look quirky, but still have a wedding feel to it.

Can you spot the fairy captured in a jar?

Still not finished -

a project that I don't really want to end!

Dreamy Shabby Chic...

 

It's amazing what you can put together with a little creative thinking!

I've been looking for inspiration for vintage table centrepieces

I wanted something a little different to the norm'

I decided to use odd bits and bobs from around the house

to try out some ideas...

 

Top Hat n Tails!

 

A top hat makes a unique vase, filled with blooms and feathers (tails)

 

Or try old books, these look great piled on top of each other,

maybe even add a love letter poking out from the pages??

What will you use DIY Bride?

Vintage / Shabby Chic Wedding Table Decorations

I made some more kusadumo flowers and popped them into a vintage cup and saucer.

(To make your own take a look at the video tutorial on this site).

 

I think they make the perfect table top decoration for a vintage or shabby chic wedding.

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.

Mad as a hatter!

I had a photo shoot today with a couple of freinds.

We designed a Mad Hatters Table for photographs that we could all use...

Here are the results...

 

 

Bunting was from Heartfelt & Homely and The Cake Hole, Sleaford made us the amazing cake!

Happy (real) roses that had been dyed carnival colours were by Bouquet Centre, Sleaford.

 

 

The "Drink Me" labels and all other stationery was made by Lyndsey Glover

 

 

 

 The Vintage China was loaned to us by Bites to Banquets, Sleaford

 

 

 

I decorated the candelabra (which are available to hire, as is the birdcage. Sorry about this photo' - dont know why but several of my photos are loading sideways for some reason!!!

Most annoying!!!

 

Anyway... I made some napkin holders from playing cards...

 

 

We also set up a gold and cadburys purple table and a lovely vintage table...

photo's of those to follow shortly, for now I will leave you with this one because "We're all mad 'round here"!!!!

WOW factor Wedding Flowers!!!

I have completed the brides heirloom posy, corsages, buttonholes and babys headband...

Now at the start of creating wedding flowers with a real WOW factor!

Today the postman arrived with these beautiful ostrich feathers in rich cadburys purple...

The flowers to the side of the vase are actually going to be duplicated the other side and (don't tell) but they will become the mother of the bride and mother of the grooms bouquets...

something they can keep forever!

Happily having a play around...

will let you know what the finished product looks like!

Purple Bride

The colour of Cadburys Purple seems to be very popular amongst brides at the moment. I remember my freind had it many years ago - with huge purple anemomes stitched under the toille of her dress and I hand painted her wedding shoes to match!

This is the latest purple posy I've made...

 Features, roses, poppies and peony...

 vintage costume jewellery in the shape of a shooting star, flowers and butterflies...

 Vintage glass buttons, fluffy fur and handmade ribbon roses

 ... and matching wrist corsage for bridesmaid/mother of the bride...

If you can't live without them you can buy them from my website at
