Turquoise Flower Corsage

Flower corsage with striking turquiose organza flower and palest blue tulle leaves on a pastel blue ribbon. 

These were a summer custom order for bridesmaids and I enjoyed making them immensely!

I find this colour so lively and vivid and cheery, it just makes me smile.

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.

Red Flower Accessories

I recently made these large red rose flowers and attached them to this very soft but sturdy black cotton ribbon. The durable, heavy-weight ribbon means that they can be tied and un-tied repeatedly without showing wear.

The flowers themselves measure about 10cm across but are very light-weight and easy to wear in a multitude of ways.

I can easily see them used in the more usual ways: tied around the waist as a sash or belt, tied around the head as a headband or tie-back, the wrist as a floral wrist corsage or even around an ankle for a more bohemian, free spirited look.

Another way of using these is tied around the handles of a bag like a bag charm or accessory. I do it all the time as it's an easy -and inexpensive- way to change a bag's look and brighten your mood in the process.

Another way I've seen them used is as a floral touch in home decor, wrapped around a vase or favourite object in the house. A flower accessory for the home.
I know I'd love to see these as nursery decor for a little girl! 
Perhaps tied around a bed post or chair.

Festive Silver Flower Corsage

I love the silver ribbon and silver tulle leaves on this flower wrist corsage.

It gives it a definite festive note.

One of the flowers in these two corsages  is in an off-white organza while the other one is a light, almost transluscent, ivory organza.

This close-up is of the ivory organza.

The centre of both flowers is an exuberant mix of pearls, rhinestones, beads and sequins.

You can find either or both in my Fairytale Flower shop.

Barely There Champagne Organza Flower Bridal Sash

This is one of my newest organza flowers and one of my new favourites.

Bridal Sash / Headband by FairytaleFlower

The golden ivory colour of the organza is so delicate and ethereal, it makes the flower look luminous, like it's barely there.

Which is why I added a ribbon in a fine, transluscent organza.

 It goes particularly well, I think.

The leaves are also my latest addiction. Bridal white tulle and very white thread.

Fairytale Flower on etsy.

In my -inexcusable- neglect of this blog lately, I have also neglected to tell you about Fairytale Flower, the new shop I opened on etsy -exclusively with organza flower accessories.

Now both the new creations as well as my old favourites can all be housed together in their own little conservatory -and make room in OnePerfectDay for some exciting new arrivals.

I'd love it if you visited and gave me an opinion.

New Honeysuckle Pink Sash-Wrist Cuff

I know I've been going overboard with the pinks and reds lately but it seems to be a mania that has taken on a life of its own.....

I can't help it.

The thing is, I just can't get enough of these bright, upbeat colours.

So here's my latest fuschia pink organza flower sash/headband/wrist cuff.

It's actually quite difficult to photograph the organza and capture the hue accurately. The colour is approximate. In real life it's deeper and brighter -and a touch more red.

The ribbon is vintage, natural cotton and baby soft to the touch. In my very favourite hard-to-miss red.
