Just Call Me Martha
October 31st, 2006 @ 11:02 am by Mrs. Peach
Remember back when I posted the tissue paper bouquet on one of Martha Stewart’s wedding magazines? Well, I finally got around to trying to make one. I was going to wait until I made 25 flowers ie. a full bouquet, but I got so excited at how they were turning out I just had to show you now.
Here are the two main flowers I picked (from Martha Stewart Weddings):
Here’s Martha’s bouquet:
And here’s mine (mini version):

the four individual peices of my mini bouquet:
Whatdya think?? I probably won’t use it for my bouquet, but I’m definitely going to be incorporating these some other way, perhaps in center pieces or church aisle decorations or something!! ^_^

great job! they’d be a great, but labor-intensive rehearsal bouquet.
I used those as my rehearsal bouquet
Wow! Those look great. You should definitely find a way to incorporate them. I love the rehearsal bouquet idea.
beautiful… now i ACTUALLY want to try that 
So so beautiful!!! What an amazing project I think I may have to make my centerpieces out of them!
Thanks for the idea
Wonderful job!
you can use as buttoniere for family members. it is a great idea and beautiful turn out too.
those look nice. how long does it take to make one flower?
rehearsal bouquet or flower girl bouquet?
they look great! i’m sure you can incoporate them into anything you’d like!
It’s hard to quantify the exact time it took me because I was helping my younger sister with college apps on and off… but my guess would be 1.5 hours? Only because I was doing it for the first time; I think once you learn how to make one, it won’t take nearly as long to make more.
nicely done!
i love them. i made some too! i thought the cutting of the tissue was a pain tho. yours look great! i’m trying to figure out how to incorporate them also. im doing a destination wedding so i don’t want to worry about bringing them and squashing them. any ideas?
So pretty! I love them. Heehee, now I wanna try that, too! Aargh at my love for crafts. My DIY list is long enough…
they look so beautiful!!! good job!!
I think they look very nice. I had been toying with the idea of making one of those bouquets (that’s my main reason for buying that magazine this summer) and when I saw how good it looked in your pics, I was like, Holy crap, I have to do that! Thanks for helping me to make that decision!
They look gorgeous!! I’ve been waiting for you to post this follow-up..now I have to try it!!
Miss Peach, how do you get your blooms to look so good? I’ve been trying, but I can’t seem to get the hang of it. Do you have any tips?
I have been trying to get the instructions off of MarthaStewart.com, but it says the page has been moved. Do you still have then and would you be able to e-mail them to me?

About Me: Mr. Peach and I started dating our senior year of high school when we both lived in Georgia. Since then, we spent 6 years in a long distance relationship. And now by the grace of God, we've made it through; we are living in the same state again (NJ) and we are gettin' married! I was originally going to ask if I could be Miss Mango bc I loveee mangos sooo much, but in the end decided to be true to my GA peach roots! woot!
Love them! They would look amazing in centerpieces.
