I’ve been testing my fabric flower making skills, and I’m starting to like some of the results.
Here is the tutorial for the frayed fabric rosettes, and the tutorial for the yarn pom-pom flowers.
The felt flowers are just petal shapes sewn together and attached with a button. The lace flower is just lace that’s been snipped around the petal shapes and sewn together.
I found that mixing the rosettes and pom-poms made the sturdiest flower when placed on floral wire, but I’ll be testing different ways to attach the flowers to their stems. No one likes a droopy flower.
Are you considering alternative florals? What are some ways you’re using fabric/paper flowers to spruce up your wedding?
oh wow… that pom pom flower is so gorgeous. im making some of our flowers too, but just the table flowers. yarn isn’t really a texture i was incorporating, but i may try and find another way to pull off that pom pom flower so i can add those as well. 
I love those I can’t wait to see this project come together!
Fun! I love the yarn pom poms! I am doing my ‘maids bouquets out of crepe paper and fabric flowers and having a total blast doing it. here’s a peak:

Those are pretty!! You’ll be using them for your bouquet??
Wow, those look super, great work. I’m using oragami flowers for my centerpieces, thank you Miss Poodle!
those look so cute!!
@RAllise: Your so welcome! hehe - another bride bite by the origami bug 
We are using some dried flowers rather than fresh. That is about as alternative as we get. : )
I love the fabric flowers they would be great for many projects.
[...] the pew, which leaves them perfect for tying a ribbon around. So, I decided to incorporate some of those fabric flowers into this ribbon [...]
Very economical. Instead of using real flowers, fabric can also be used as an alternate if you want to save money and its cute and unique.

Mrs. Moonbeam, Los Angeles/San Antonio Age and Occupation: 26, Intern Architect Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Studio Analyst, aspiring Screenwriter Engagement Date: May 20, 2009 Wedding Date: November 2009 Venue: Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church (LaCoste, TX) and Mary Gray Events Center (Castroville, TX) About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, but after college I moved to Seattle for a couple of years and loved it. Then I followed my beau out here to LA and we're getting settled in. I've been making things since I can remember. I was raised by crafters. I love to sew, draw, paint, build, cook, bake (anything with a tangible end result is fair game). In that same spirit, I've been hosting since I was old enough to cook and set a fancy table. I kind of take after my grandmother, who believes that your morning OJ always tastes better out of the good crystal.
