Hey Cinnamon Bun, how’s the paper flower thing going?

Not bad, thanks for asking! I’ve got 50+ white roses:

A handful of smaller blue roses (the Queen of Hearts would not approve!):

And some pale pink not-roses. Not really daisies either. I’m not sure what flower these are most similar to – water lilies maybe?

I haven’t started making bouquets yet, but I finally feel like I have enough flowers to start that. I just need to make a few more leaves tonight, and then I can start putting things together. I’ll probably have to make more flowers, but I’ve got that down to a fine art, which I shall detail in my next post.

I’m not sure which ones will go into which bouquet. Right now I’m thinking of using all 3 types in my bouquet, and just the white roses in my girls’ bouquets, but I’m still whiffling back and forth on that. What would you do?

I love your flowers. As far as what you should do, I like the idea of yours being a little different with the different flowers and your posse being just the white roses. However, I’m having a hard time picturing, so I could be wrong.

Those are beautiful! It was my sister’s wedding yesterday and she made around 250 paper roses to decorate the tables with! They look amazing.
I just posted about the wedding on my blog if you get a minute and wanted to see them!
