Whenever I see photos of other bloggers homes they always have fresh flowers in a pretty vintage vase on their dining room table. I'm sure a majority buy themselves a bouquet just for the shot, but I always find myself saying "I wish I did that more often". The other day I was thinking of buying myself a weekly bouquet of fresh flowers and then I remembered how cheap I am. Instead I decided I would make myself some monthly paper flowers. Still haven't done it...perhaps I"ll start in May ;)
After the group effort of baby shower onesies, I was thinking about projects for bridal showers. If I were a paper flower bride, I would ask all the ladies at my shower to make a paper flower for my wedding bouquet. They could sign their name on the leaf and I would keep it forever. What a sweet momento and great way to share the work ;)
Thank you for all your kind words on my Sister's baby shower.
I can't wait to meet my new niece!

What a terrific idea! Could have been less time-intensive than my vintage brooch bouquet :-P I'll pass your brilliant tip to my engaged friends!
those are so pretty!
great idea, super cute!
these flowers are adorbs! I want to make some ... Because I too am too cheap to buy fresh flowers every week! :)
xo! Lauren @ tickled.
Oh, beautiful idea! the result is gorgeous. Happy to find you. Congratulations for your blog, is really nice. Greetings from Switzerland...
i do buy flowers for our table, totally.
I often buy fresh flowers but I am so going to try making those cutes as well:) Hugs and kisses, darling
Ps: I’m hosting a charming necklace GIVEAWAY today! Hope you’ll join in:)
This is amazing. Going to try it for a centerpiece!!
This is genius. Those fresh flowers do cost me a ton every month!
love this idea. it does beat changing water everyday. i'm lucky that here in NYC, a little bunch of flowers are sold on every corner almost, and are just a few dollars. there's no excuse not to have flowers on the table every day!
I love your idea of having people sign a leaf! I thought about having paper flowers but I had too many other diy projects on the go already lol!
such a good idea, plus they're so pretty! and i recently went to a onesie painting baby shower... so cool!
i love diy projects and these paper flowers are so pretty. :)
Every bride should have a paper flower bouquet just so they can steal this wonderful idea!
I am def trying this! Love it! Thanks for sharing. BTW I'm your newest follower:)
