75 Rose & Hydrangea Clusters for Wedding Reception Napkin Rings

Fellow Etsy artisan Dorana contacted me last week to ask if I could help her with her sister's wedding. If you recall, I did the wedding flowers for Dorana's wedding last December. Dorana is the creator of www.myhandmaderegistry.com.

Granted her sister has said, "NO" to every little thing Dorana is trying to help her with. You know how it goes, you don't want your family to spend money on your wedding and you'll figure it out on your own. Dorana is so excited for her sister's wedding that she wants to help make it perfect so she's enlisted the help of many Etsy wedding artisans to make it happen.She asked if I could make napkin rings. She wanted mini roses with 2 hydrangea blossoms, all white with yellow centers for the hydrangeas. Due to the short lead time I told her I could make the flowers if she could do the ring. So it's a team effort and I'm excited to see how it turns out. :) She said if her sister doesn't like it she intends to use these lovely napkin ring flowers for other special occasions down the road as there will be many.
These are just a few photos of the 75 clusters of flowers I created in a total of 6 hours if that.

Custom Color Lily Bridal Bouquet for a Maui Vow Renewal

I received an email from a client who is planning to have a vow renewal ceremony in Maui next month and she asked if I could make her bouquet. She fell in love with the purple anemone and blue hydrangea bouquet I made for a past client, but it wasn't in her budget. So we worked together to determine what she wanted. She finally decided upon a lily bouquet with purple roses and blue hydrangeas. She wanted the center of the lilies to be similar in color to the wisteria purple sash on her gown.
I often try not to do things that don't exist in nature, but when the client requests it, I follow through. I tried to make it as natural as possible and I think it came out very pretty. I think it will look stunning against her wedding gown.
Lots of things to work on in the next 2 weeks so I will have to update you but for now, I must get back to the studio and make a lot more flowers..
