They say a successful business is run on repeat business, but there's (hopefully!) not much call for that when you're working on weddings. So I was pretty chuffed when I heard from Helen, one of my first brides ever, requesting a bouquet for her husband as a first-year anniversary present. As she pointed out, the traditional present for a first anniversary is paper, after all.
Helen wanted a bouquet that recalled her wedding bouquet:
But she wanted a few key differences: something a little less feminine, and sheet music instead of book pages.
Luckily, I had a little paper and several buttons left over from Helen's bouquet, and I found a lovely lime green floral paper to complement the vintagey yellow floral in the original bouquet. We decided on roses and circle flowers anchored with buttons to give the more masculine feel Helen wanted.
And here's where it ended up:
I love the streamlined look of the bouquet.
And, though I says it as shouldn't, I think my photography skills have improved quite a bit since last summer...
And as a special surprise, I included a couple of little hair clips for Helen as well. Congratulations, Diarmuid and Helen!
