Paper Flowers

For my wedding I made almost all of our flowers out of paper.

I made a few different kinds of paper flowers and the results at the wedding were amazing. I’ve written a lot about creating paper flowers for the wedding on the blog and I hope you enjoy all the content about wedding paper flowers!

Hello Mary!!
First off….. Absolutely stunning!!!
I am in love with your flowers!! It has inspired me to make my own paper flowers for our wedding as well. I have the folding technique down pat but I am a little curious about how you put it all together. Did you use dowels and a floral ball? floral wire and picks? I guess I am worried about where to start on assembling the actual bouquet. Any feedback or direction you could give me would be so deeply apreciated! Thank you so much!! :)

I found how to fold these gorgeous flowers as well. I -loved- all the DIY decor you had at your wedding. I’m going to make some of these and the tissue paper pom poms as well. I was curious about the same thing as Sonya, for how you put all the flowers together into the bouquets. If you have any tips I would love to hear them. My wedding is in June and it’s a lot of fun making things for it rather than paying outrageous retail prices. Congrats on your gorgeous wedding and your amazing photos.

I was turned onto this sight by my future mother-in-law and fell in love with the Kusudama flowers.

How many ended up going in one bouquet???

Thanks for reading! I honestly don’t remember how many flowers were in a bouquet! Each was different but maybe around 15? Mine had a lot more.

Mary,
I follow your Merry Life blog and just read your Merry Wife blog tonight and between the actual look of the flowers and the cute story that they are made out of old emails and music my heart nearly melted! Keep the posts coming :)
