Naomi's flowers


I'm so excited about an order I recently finished.




Naomi's order was so much fun because it was highly personal (different text excerpts for pretty much every member of the bridal party!), very flexible (i want yellow, she said, all different shades, i trust your judgment), and I got to use a new flower (carnations!).





Naomi's bouquet featured text from a favorite play and poem.





The bridesmaids' bouquets featured excerpts from four different books, chosen by the ladies themselves. I had to label everything quite carefully to keep from getting a bit mixed up.






The groomsmen's boutonnieres also featured a different text each, although the boys seemed to favor songs and poems. And, of course, black leaves. (people tend to be very conservative about leaves, for some reason. i love this!)


All of the boys' bouts included an illustration from the Transformers (optimus prime vs. megatron, nice), and the groom's bout. had a loooovely plummy colored rose.





Instead of the two hair accessories she originally requested, Naomi ended up going for several clips to give her more flexibility.









Congrats to Naomi and Yoann! I hope you enjoy the flowers as much as I enjoyed making them!
