Les Fleurs

October 14th, 2009 @ 11:54 am by Miss French Fries

I’ve already outlined how we’re doing somewhat alternative arrangements for the tables at our wedding — apothecary jars full of candy — but I haven’t yet described what I had in mind for our flowers. I’ve mentioned how I was a little let down by the first florist we talked to, so I was hoping that the next meeting would go better than the first…

I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m training for half marathons and the Escape from Alcatraz swim. Or moving for the third time this year. Or baking. Or wedding crafting. Or crying about wedding planning. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!

A Big Uh-Oh

October 14th, 2009 @ 11:29 am by Miss Lamb

If you recall this post, you may remember my trial run Lambaid (aka bridesmaid) pomanders. If not, this should refresh your memory:

The test was going remarkably well. I was convinced this was a success. Then one day, sometime around move day actually, I took the pomander out of the closet, took it off its hanger and held it in front of a mirror to admire…

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.

Flowers, Part 1

October 14th, 2009 @ 11:05 am by Miss Moonbeam

I went to an HEB Plus while I was down in Texas. It’s like the Super Target of Texas. They have a floral department, so I took a look around and saw these gorgeous wildflower looking bouquets. They had celosia, sunflowers, mums, thistle and some other things. There were oranges, deep pinks, yellows, the brown centers of the sunflowers, and basically most of our large…

DIY Bout Tutorial

October 9th, 2009 @ 4:30 pm by Miss Lamb

Je t’aime, you like? Oui oui?

For whatever reason, I feel like these bouts are French and they speak to me in broken English/French – Frenglish if you will. It probably has something to do with the guinea feathers. But don’t tell my Dad, because after Sept. 11, he’s been calling them Freedom Fries and there’s no convincing him that French speaking bouts are funny.

Remember this inspiration bouquet?

That is Mrs. Lovebug’s actual bouquet and it was also part of my inspiration board. Keeping with my modern yet vintage theme, I thought it would look great with my flowers, too! So I’ve been scouring the usual places one might acquire typewriter letters–--eBay and the flea market.

Stalled

October 5th, 2009 @ 4:56 pm by Miss Lamb

Hi, My name is Miss Lamb and I have a DIY problem.

Though others pointed it out to me before, I didn’t realize I had a problem until I recognized myself in this article about the stages of a DIY project.

I was in between Phase 5 and 6 on my handmade fabric bridesmaids’ pomanders and bouts. I was so psyched when I was buying the materials.…

I loooooove Yogurtland, am slightly very obsessed with all things paper, am heavily addicted to wedding blogs, deeply desire a puppy, thoroughly enjoy cooking, cry when I watch (almost all) movies, thrive on solo car-karaoke, can't stop being sarcastic, am neurotic about taking pictures of almost everything I eat before I eat it, and aspire to travel the world. My super-talented fiance and I are attempting to DIY a majority of our massive (~350 guests) "clean & modern, yet romantic, but completely unexpected, with a teeny dash of vintage" wedding, stay within our not-so-massive budget, and somehow get a really luxe (but still fun!) look/feel at the same time. In music terms (since we're both really into music) think Coldplay meets Motown meets Kanye meets Sinatra.

Flowers for Everyone!

October 5th, 2009 @ 1:44 pm by Miss Ramen

Okay, so maybe not for everyone, but it’s pretty traditional in most Asian weddings (at least in my family) to have corsages and boutonnieres for all important extended family members - aunts, uncles, cousins even. And it’s always a nice gesture to have flowers for your wedding helpers: musicians, guestbook and gift attendants, ushers, your DOC, etc.

So, Mr. Ramen’s mom is one of 5 kids,…

About Miss Dachshund

On my way home from work last night I was thinking about all of the alternative floral options about which I’ve recently blogged, and I realized that I had the materials in my house to make most of them. Or, at least make a mock-up of most of them!

My first attempt at our prospective DIY flowers was a slight variation of these:

As a sequel to my previous post, in which I wrote about paper flowers and shared inspiration, I’ll continue to share my ideas for alternative, DIY flowers… focusing today on flowers made of fabric!

I’m not sure where it was that I saw my first fabric flowers. Etsy, maybe. Those little organza flower hairpins have been popular for quite some time, after all. Anyway, I love…

DIY Bridal Bouquet Part 2: Changing My Mind

It’s been awhile since I wrote about my bouquet-making adventures. In the first installment, I told you about my mock trial run. But a lot has happened since then. I’ve changed my mind about our wedding colors and opted to change my bouquet to reflect that. I sold the old, all-white peony bouquet and ordered some new, light pink peonies*! Aren’t they fabulous?!? :D

I love looking at them, I love thinking about cute bouts for different themes, and I’m quite happy that I get to make them for my groom, for his 5 groomsmen, our fathers, our grandfathers, and our ushers - that’s 14 total! And they’ll each be slightly different.

I’m not a choosy flower person. I love me some grocery store bouquets. I love the country song about picking wild flowers.

Spending money on really expensive floral arrangements, when carnations and baby’s breath tickle me pink, did not appeal to my practical side. I hadn’t thought much about flowers for the wedding, other than casually looking at what is in season for January. I might…
