DIY Wedding - Flower Peek


There's one thing to say about making your own flowers for your wedding....
It's a relaxing, sit-down, bond with your daughter type of time.  I really enjoy it.  And it's a good thing, because these flowers take a ton of time to make! 



I posted some flower ideas here when I was still undecided on the direction I wanted to go.  Can you tell what one won my heart? :))
  


All the colored flowers are being done by hand.  I found that watering down acrylic paint and painting the paper before making the flower works great.  And with the vast variety of acrylic paints out there, I was able to find the exact colors for our wedding! Score!

  2. Super cute & what a great idea to use paint to get the color you want! I'm featuring them in this week's Power of Paint Party.
