Weekend Update: Hello August!

With a full week of August here and gone I still can’t believe it! The temperature outside definitely is a reminder though. The studio gets super hot as it is the furthest room from the main A/C unit. So on really hot weekends, we have the portable A/C working at full speed as well.

At the beginning of the weekend we finished up this red and aqua order. The bride had her portraits taken this last weekend so we wanted to make sure she had them for that. The last of the order was shipped out today! It was a great set to work on and a first for this fun color combination.

It was a fun mix of boutonnieres. Some made out of all buttons and then the corsages were felt for the mothers and the grandmothers.

This is a button order I am currently working on. It is a mix of Horizon (royal) blue, Lapis (dark) purple, Yellow and just hints of white. There will be a lot more updates on this order as time goes by. Each piece has a different combination of the three colors.

This bouquet is not a design I usually do. However, it was a special request from a bride. It is a mix of fall colors: brown, orange, purple and green. I also included some flower buttons, tons of vintage buttons and all shapes and sizes.

Here are a few other pieces of the same order as the bouquet above. The bouquet on the left is the Jr. Bridesmaid and then the other two are flower girl bouquets.

These next few photos are just teasers! These stems will show up again in the next few weeks. They got shipped off today to the Chicago area. Keep an eye out for the update. In the mean time, look at the pretty stems. This first set is bright and bold. I used a lot of fun colors and then some sparkle. There are three felt stems as well.

This second set, thing vintage and romantic. I love this set so much! Whenever I have some spare time I am making a full bouquet to match these colors. The stems are jam-packed with vintage buttons. In fact, almost every button is vintage or vintage inspired.

There are also some rhinestone buttons that I hand set all of the stones. There is a crystal (clear) and a light pink color. We use these buttons all the time to add some bling and I think they fit perfectly with this mix.

It may be overkill with three photos of the same arrangement..but I actually took close to 15 photos of it. I was almost sad to ship it off this morning!
