Some advise I have if you are making flowers is below: <br /><br />1) Cut out your flowers WAY in advance and cut out more than you think you will need. This is the most time consuming part of making paper flowers, and a rush job at the end will not look pretty.<br /><br />2) Don't plan on making flowers for everything. If you are making the bouquets/corsages/etc. Don't plan on making centerpieces/church decorations, etc that are also paper flowers (at least not if you are flying solo). Depending on how complex of a flower you are making, it may be possible to really go all out with paper flowers, but otherwise it is a lot more work than you may think. There are a lot of other great and easy handmade things that aren't flowers that can be used as wedding decor and it will really save your sanity!<br /><br />3) Find out exactly how large the bride wants her bouquets, etc. Maybe make a test one, and then have her decide how much larger her bouquet is than the bridal party bouquets (the bride's is always the best!). This will help you out with how many flowers you need to make.<br /><br />4) How many different types of flowers will you be making? I tested out tons of flowers, but my sister decided she only wanted the roses in the wedding, so I only made the roses for the wedding (well in advance!). This is a time consuming process, so making sure you are making only what you need is key (again a test bouquet is a great idea, and comes in handy as an extra bouquet to "toss" at the wedding so you can preserve the "real" wedding bouquet from getting ripped or trampled).Craftinomiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03239653437697211442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281380586911726683.post-47418673814636487792013-01-10T10:54:10.543-08:002013-01-10T10:54:10.543-08:00I'm making all the flowers for my daughter'...I'm making all the flowers for my daughter's wedding in August (2013).

Or attach your flower stems, etc together (typically by twisting the wire stems together into one solid stem) and tie your stem around a ribbon or elastic bracelet to be worn on the wrist. The real difference is that corsages usually have more than one flower (almost like a tiny bouquet) so you may want to opt for several smaller blooms rather than one large one, like a boutonniere tends to have.<br /><br />My sister and I will also be making corsages, so I may even get a specific corsage tutorial up here in the next few days if time allows!<br /><br />Adding ribbon or lace is also a nice touch for a corsage to set it apart as the more feminine of the two wedding accessories.Craftinomiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03239653437697211442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281380586911726683.post-55134810982751736302012-09-24T12:07:40.023-07:002012-09-24T12:07:40.023-07:00These are beautiful!
