J'aime les fleurs

I love flowers. I worked in flower shops through out high school and college. One of the ways I'm trying to save money on the wedding is to do my own flowers. I've done the flowers for countless weddings when I use to work in flower shops, and I've done the flowers for friends of mine.

I've been searching out interesting bouquet ideas because as much as I love flowers I really want to do something that is a little different.

These flowers are made from ribbon. Martha Stewart always has good ideas.

This one is a bit of a sweet treat but I'd worry about it getting sticky in the heat and getting all over my dress.

Beads are pretty and there is a wide variety of colors available. But I think it would be a lot of work and a little old fashioned.

Felt and buttons make a cute combo in solid white and in color. But it's a little much for my taste.

Now this is a bouquet I can get behind. Add a few colored spatulas and it's totally me. I don't think it will tie into the rest of the wedding but it expresses who I am for sure.
