Fruits of our labor? Flowers of our labor!

Today my mom, sister and I made the majority of the flowers for my wedding, including all of the bridal party bouquets, the corsages, and the boutonnieres. I'm using silk flowers instead of real, so we were able to make everything in advance (and for cheap!). I wanted gladiolus since it was a favorite flower of both of my grandmothers.

Here's a boutonniere, held up by yours truly to give an idea of scale.

And here's my sister holding a bouquet. I thought about pixellating her face like on COPS, but decided to crop instead.

Not bad for a morning's work. I really enjoyed doing it. Maybe I should develop a flower-arranging hobby!

  • Beautiful flowers, you've done a really wonderful job!

    I especially love the first picture. The boutonniere is nice, but I like the photo as art.

  • Hobby? Shhhhhhhhyeah... how about 'business'??

    You done good. I agree w/Jen... it's a great photo!

    I also liked the fact that you used flowers that are not 'traditional'. Personal. Yes!
