DIY How to Make Paper Flowers Tutorials

This is The Little Canopy’s signature handmade paper flower wedding backdrop!  It’s 9 feet wide by 18 feet tall, and it has about 600 handmade paper flowers on a fabric.  The variety of flower shapes and sizes gives it much depth and texture, and the lighting that’s shooting from below and above give its dramatic finish.  It took about 4-6 weeks to make since I only had after 5pm and the weekend to work on, and probably about 20 bags of hot glue sticks.  You can find it in my etsy shop.  Unfortunately since it’s so big I don’t have a shipping method for this, so it’ll have to be picked up in Atlanta, or you can buy the DIY listing where I ship out the flowers + fabric and you have to glue them yourself.  Anyways I thought I’d dedicate this post to brides who would like to make themselves a handmade paper flower backdrop and find some useful tutorials.  A lot of it is improvising, cutting petals in different shapes using the tutorials below, and just lots and lots of gluing!  If you have paper scrap left over, cut it into a leaf shape and glue it at the bottom too.

Etsy Finds: Wedding Groom Boutonnieres Gallery in All Colors

I have put together all these cute boutonnieres from Etsy artists from all the colors of the rainbow.  Unlike a bride who needs a veil, tiara, earrings, necklace, bracelets, rings, brooches, shoes, inner skirts, etc, a groom only have a few things to jazz up their style with.  Ties and bow ties, cufflinks, earrings, and maybe handkerchief? So a boutonnieres has a big impact on their look, even though they’re so petite.  It makes a groom look like a groom!  Pick wisely, ladies!

Yarn PomPom Flower- Craspedia Billy Balls

Look what we have in our etsy shop now!  These awesome cute yarn pompom flowers that looks like craspedia billy balls.  Perfect for vintage, artsy wedding tables to brighten up everyone’s mood.   I like having these everywhere in my house on shelves, bathroom, on my nightstand etc. These vases are from Michael’s, but it will be much cuter if you have miss matching vintage vases that you find from antique stores.  I had a lot of craspedia billy ball flowers in my wedding bouquet, I only wish I made these sooner to incorporate them into my wedding.

You can find these here

Short Mini Wedding Dress Brides

Cute, fun brides!! Short wedding dresses seems so fitting when it comes to outdoor weddings, DIY weddings, beach weddings, backyard weddings etc.  For starters it keeps the brides in a light, fun mood since they don’t have to hurl around tons of fabric all day long.  Wedding dresses can be heavy!  By the end of the day I felt like I was training for a marathon dragging a tire behind me.  Secondly it won’t attract all the dirt, grass, grease and sand onto the bottom of the dress.  Less cleaning bills.  Thirdly you can show off your awesome heels and legs!  Fourthly I think everyone in every shape and size looks good in a mini dress.  You can accentuate parts of your body with a big poofy wedding skirt, or hide awkward proportions that you always have trouble with, and feel good looking petite and cute!  I would make all these cute brides into a miniature figurine and display them on a shelf if I could… not in a creepy way. lol.

Etsy Finds: Circus Carnival Wedding Theme

I LOVE circus carnival theme weddings!  I wasn’t the biggest fan of circus since I kind of have a phobia for clowns, but circus weddings I’d go any day!  I found all these etsy circus goodies via different artists.  Just to start you off with what you would need to create a circus wedding.  Wedding invitations and stationery will do a big part, since you can put in so many colors into such a small space.  I love the popping red against the cyan blues, so keeping those theme colors will help you create a big visual.  Of course you can keep it neutral or pastel colors with just a hint of redness here and there to keep it muted down, vintage circus wedding.
