Mandarin

Not the colour of the moment but defiantly my colour at the moment, mandarin

Also love the different assortments of these floral bouquets, so natural.

I still love letterpress

Yet another example of a great letterpress design this is a bit more playful.
The gradient of lime & tangerine make a good combo this one from is julia kostreva

Very Cool Hair

I would probably have the guts to do this two-tone dip die hair colour if I was still in high school. I think its grunge but still very cool & fashionable

A Soft Setting

What a lovely table setting for a country or whismical wedding or dinner party.

I love the wooden flower boxes & light pink & white floral arrangement

Cute as a Button

Found a fun little project for handmade fabric bouquets:

Supplies needed:

Assorted Fabrics
Felt
Assorted buttons
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Floral wire
Thread
Needle

 

1. Cut out from cardboard some template circles

then trace their profile on your chosen fabrics.

2. Cut all fabric circles.

 3.Sew around the edge of each circle, pulling the thread and once you have obtained a ruffled closed circle cut the thread and knot it.

 

 

4. Choose cute buttons and glue to the front of your flower.

 

5. Cut enough pieces of floral wire (about 30 cm long) and bend them in two half. Then bend the ends. Then add some hot glue on the back of a flower and then glue the wire on it and add a piece of felt to keep it steady.

 

Special thanks to Almalu’s Place for this great idea

A Tissue A Tissue – Homemade Pom Poms

This decorating idea would be great for a kids party or room, casual wedding or a special dinner party

Directions:

1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2 inchwide  folds, creasing with each fold.

2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

4. Tie a length of fishing line  for hanging.

Pastel Pose

I love this style of photography I guess the subjects help a lot but the soft over exposed lighting & saturated colour really appeals to me. It adds a real vintage feel, very 60's
