Large Raven Black Flowers

 These are large black organza flowers I made for a special project.

There's eight of them - in the two different sizes shown in these pictures.

They're actually darker than the pictures show. They're jet black with no hint of blue at all. Both the organza used for the petals and the tulle are as black as night. 

The only relief from the darkness of the flower comes in the form of the gold stamens in the centre and and a hint of dark bronze organza in the mix to highlight the black and give the flower some depth and interest. Can you see it?

Large Burgundy and Black Flower Boutonierre

A large flower boutonniere in a moody mix of burgundy and black. 

It measures 2.5 inches or about 6.35 cm across.

It's a custom order, made to tie into a special wedding outfit. So it's one of a kind. 

 And it's making its way across the ocean as we speak.

Red Poppies and Pheasant Feather Boutonnieres

These red poppy and pheasant feather boutonnieres were a request from a fall bride. 

There's one for the groom and one each for the groomsmen and the young boys of the wedding party. 

I also made one for the bride, as a brooch, for a keepsake.

 In my opinion, you can never spoil the bride enough. Right?

Making Custom Orders

Bridal White Flower Wrist Corsage

These white organza flower and white tulle leaf corsages were part of a custom order of bridesmaids and flower girl corsages. 
The almost luminous peach centre is a combination of translucent beads and iridescent sequins.

Lilac and Brown Flower Headband

This was a custom order for Jennifer. 

For her beautiful little girl, in fact, who is going to be a flower girl next week in a rustic country themed wedding. 

The colours we were working with were lilac, cream and brown and these are the resulting flowers.

I made a large flower headband and a smaller flower corsage by attaching the flowers to a plush cream-coloured cotton ribbon.

And these are the flowers before I attached them to the ribbons.
I liked them so much I may make one for my winter coat lapel.....

July WIP

 July has been proving a rather busy month! 

So much more busy than expected!

So all I have to share for now is some boho flowers in progress which have to be finished, packed and sent off in the mail by Monday.

I'm having a lot of fun with these and I can't wait to see them finished!

Red Poppy Boutonniere

These were a  request for a wedding.

I made about ten of them for the groomsmen. The groom's was a bigger variation of this flower but I have no picture to show.

They are very dainty and pretty and I liked them so much that I made one for myself as well......

Organza Flower Ring Pillow

Back when I showed you the extra large bridal flower I was making for a special overseas bride, I promised you photos of the matching ring pillow.
So here they are. Lots of them.

I really enjoyed making it so I can safely predict some more in the future.

Extra Large Bridal Hair Flower

Continuing with the whites, this is an extra large bridal hair clip.

An ivory/white mix organza flower for a lovely bride across the ocean.

It measures almost 20cm across. 

That would make it over 8inches.

But it's as light as air.

I know I say this every time, but it is my favourite to date.

It's like a fluffy white cloud -with sparkle!

Can you beat that?

I have a soft spot for brides and I especially love creating something for their wedding.

It makes we feel very honoured that I can participate like this in someone's special day.

I'm also making a ring pillow to match.

I'll be sharing photos soon.
