Fabulous Fabric Flowers

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Confessions of a huge flower child here. It is hard for me to not post about flowers each and every day. So I'll settle for doing it as often as I can. I have a home full of flower scarves, jewelry, tapestry, paintings, and my newest obsession? Fabric flowers. Beyond all that I can fit in my home :), they are absolutely perfect for your wedding day. For Bouquets, decor, boutonnieres, you name it-fabric flowers are the thing. Best of all they last forever!

A few of my favorite fabric flower creators are on Etsy. I found and fell in love with these beauties at Milkpod Studio. The colors, the textures..swoon!


fabflowertwo.jpg fabflowerone.jpgfabflowerthree.jpgI found these on Funky Fabric Flowers. I am digging the ribbons and frays and of course the adorable buttons.
kellyflowerthree.jpgThese inspiring bright, lacy button creations I found at Kreated by Kelly.
kellyflowerone.jpg kellyflowertwo.jpgIf you're the DIY type and want to give a go at creating your own fabulous fabric flowers visit I Do Take U  where you can find the entire tutorial for this beauty below.

DIY fabricflowerone.jpgAnother DIY tutorial from Green Upgrader will inspire you with these colorful fabrics and lacy details.

If you are planning to have fabulous fabric flowers at your wedding, comment here and show me some of your faves. I always have room for more!
