Oh. My. Land.

Check out these bouquets?!?!?! Made from brooches by Lionsgate Designs. What a great idea and these are GORGEOUS.

A Scottish Wedding

Hello our beloved followers. We are back stateside from what was one of the best weddings ever! The venue was beautiful. The bride and groom were stunning. Food was delicious...and of course there were some Perfect Dressipe details that I must share with you. Melissa wanted a touch of handmade elements at her wedding so we embarked on a few things.

First we made her bouquet. A mixture of fabrics, textures and flower styles combined to make one of the most unique weddings bouquets I have ever seen.

Next up, hand-stitched felt table numbers in a variety of colors and patterns. We put these in quilt hoops and just leaned them against the center pieces. Everyone love them!

Melissa also got custom buttons made that not only acted as table placecards and nametags when people wore them, but will be something we will always have to remember this wonderful day.

Melissa also enlisted the help of our lovely friend at Space Cadet Jewelry to create her head piece. A combination of leather, feathers, beads, and vintage-esqe tulle for another one-of-a-kind detyail for her wedding. The tulle was removable so it was perfect for ceremony to reception!

Overall...a HUGE success and we wish Melissa and her new man all the happiness in the world.

Beautiful felt flowers.

If you have been to our Perfect Dressipe shop you know we have some lovely felt flower clips and gadget pouches. I find these flowers to be so intricate and delightful. I can tell they would take forever but I think I am willing to try. Check them out on Not Martha.

The best idea ever!

I think our world would be so much better if we did this. Think about it...you are driving down the road and instead of hitting a massive pothole and bouncing up and down you see beautiful, brightly colored flowers.

Amazing the difference that would make. Dear artist Pete Dungey, you changed my day. Thank you.

Beautiful Couture Show

I just saw this yesterday on Poppytalk and have never seen a runway show more beautiful and I am not talking about the clothes. Look at the runway and interiors themselves.

At the Chanel Couture 2009 Runway Show the entire space was covered in handmade paper flowers.

Everything was covered...from the 32 columns, stairways, table rounds, and railings.

The article reports the 7000 flowers took 4800 hours of work. It makes me so happy that someone had the patience and grand idea to see this through. It is absolutely stunning.
