Top Tips to Care for Your Paper Flower Bridal Bouquet

Your paper flower bridal bouquet is a beautiful keepsake from your special day. Here’s how to keep it looking fresh and fabulous for years to come:

1. Handle with Care: Always handle your bouquet with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt.

2. Avoid Moisture: Keep your bouquet away from water and humidity to prevent warping and colour fading.

3. Dust Gently: Use a soft brush to gently remove Amy surface dust.

4. Display Safely: Store your bouquet in a dry, shaded area. A glass display case can protect it from dust and accidental damage.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the colours. Display it in a spot that doesn’t get direct sun.

Cherish your bouquet as a beautiful reminder of your wedding day!

Why have green foliage when you can have gold?...

Just one of the joys of choosing a paper flower bouquet...

I recently saw a post from a bride concerned about allergies ruining her wedding.

My handcrafted paper flowers are not only big and bright, they are also hypoallergenic, perfect for any bride-to-be looking to avoid sneezes and sniffles while walking down the aisle.

P.s Not only are they allergy-free, but they also make a unique and lasting keepsake from your special day.

Check out my website www.velvetrosedesigns.co.uk for more information.

Embrace the beauty of unconventional colours with paper flowers!

Unlike real blooms, paper flowers let you explore endless colours that perfectly match your style and theme.

Whether it's vibrant neon shades or elegant metallic tones, there's a paper flower for every vision.

Plus, they're everlasting, making them a sustainable choice too!

Who else loves the versatility of paper flowers?

"They were even more beautiful than I could have imagined and I can’t stop looking at them!

I’m delighted that I have these to cherish and they will forever be displayed in our home as a constant memory of ours special day."

Just some of the words from my recent bride regarding her paper flower wedding arrangements.

This is why I do what I do.

It's all about the details...

While the main flowers may steal the spotlight in your wedding bouquet, it's the tiny blossoms that add depth, texture, and charm.

These delicate details tie the whole arrangement together, making your bouquet truly unique and personal.

Each little petal is a testament to the love and care put into your special day.

Embrace the beauty of the small things – they make all the difference!

✨️Real Wedding✨️ ⁣
I was lucky enough to be asked to create wedding flowers for a customer who met me at the Oran Mor Wedding Fayre back in 2023.

The bride told me her colour scheme was ivory, lilac, and dusky pink so I created her bouquet to resonate with this.

For the flowers I added paper roses, paper peonies, paper carnations and paper ranunculus.

For the foliage I added paper eucalyptus, fiscus, and ruscus.

Here is a sneaky peak of her stunning paper bridal bouquet.

27/04/2024

These giant paper roses were one of the most time-consuming flowers I have created.

This was partly due to wanting the flower to be perfect, but also because I hand painted every petal to add a slight difference in shade to make it more realistic.

Once the flowers were made, I then added some darker shades of crepe paper to the inner folds of the flower, to add more texture and depth to the rose.

Show some ❤️ in the comments if you like what you see.

Meet the Team

Designer
I started learning how to make paper flowers by purchasing SVG digital patterns. However, I have since learned that making my own patterns allows me to develop my own sense of style.

Manufacturer
All flowers are made by me. Some can take as little as 10 minutes, and others can take as long as 3-4 hours.

Packaging manager
Packaging is the worst part of my job. As a lot of my orders are bespoke, calculating box sizes and postage prices can be a nightmare.

Content creator
Considering content creation is now a full-time job for some people, it just goes to show the amount of work involved.

Marketing Manager
I didn’t listen to my marketing lectures in Uni. Therefore, I had to give myself a crash course in how to market my brand.

Website Creator
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever have to create a website. I thought only geeks designed websites. So I guess I’m now one of them...

Event Stylist
Travelling to different places for event set-ups is exciting. I love seeing a space change into something magical.

Paper Florist
All in all, being a paper florist is not just about making paper flowers.

There is so much more involved, but I am so grateful for the skills I have learned along the way and will continue to learn.

How dreamy looking are these pretty little paper flowers?

I'm loving the gorgeous pastel colours created using Italian crepe paper.

Why choose paper flowers for your wedding?

Just ask one of our happy brides:

"The best decision we made for our wedding, the flowers were so beautiful and realistic! So many guests commented on how lovely they were from the bouquets, button holes, corsages and hair clips. Cat was also so lovely to talk to and very attentive to ensure she captured the vision we had which she absolutely did. And on top of all that I can now keep my bouquet forever 💖"

Gin and paper roses .

The best thing is, once the gin is finished, the bottle can be used as a vase to host this handmade beauty.

Real Bride

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the look on the faces of those I have made paper flowers for.

This gorgeous bride Julie sent me some photos over the weekend, and they are just absolutely stunning.

She chose to have ivory roses for her bridal bouquet with splashes of sage green foliage.

Her bridesmaids' flowers followed the same theme with the flowers being captured in this incredible photo by

If you want a flower shot like this on your wedding day, then paper flowers are the way forward...

I'm working on a major project just now to create a range of giant paper flowers for a Spring window display.

This is the inside of my Clare De Lune crepe paper peony. There is so much detail involved with twisting, scrunching, and darting the paper to create these delicate ruffles.

I can't wait to share the finished result.

🌸Friday Feels🌸

Share this with anyone who needs to hear it.

Looking after your mental health is so important, especially if you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed by everything you have going on.

This advice also goes for anyone (not just brides).

I've been trying to prioritise myself a little more this week.

-less time on social media as it's beginning to overwhelm me.
-I tried breath-work for the first time to try and calm myself down along with mediation.
-I also completed a yoga and a pilates (both of which I'm not a massive fan of.
-I even put ear seeds on to see what all the fuss is about.

Sometimes, you don't know why to feel the way you feel, but putting yourself first, talking openly, and accepting your feelings will only help in the long run.

Happy weekend everyone x

When I say every petal is curled by hand, that goes for the foliage as well. I love the effect I get from curling these paper Eucalyptus leaves.

What Has Been My Biggest Achievement This Year? I found this incredibly hard to whittle down as I have had quite a few personal ones this year. Creating large-scale paper flowers for Bobbi Brown in Harrods definitely has to be a highlight. This type of project is something I've been grafting for over the last 2 years, so to finally be given this opportunity was a dream come true. Fingers crossed, I have more retail installation projects next year. #velvetrosedesigns #weddinginspiration #luxuryweddings #bridalparty #weddingplanners #weddingstylist #weddingadvice #bridalinspo #weddingtips #bouquetinspo #centrepiece #weddingflowers #floristlife #eventflowers #flowerlover #paperflowershop #bridalinspiration #weddingtrends #wedding #weddingprofessionals #weddingtrend #weddingvenuesuk #eventstyling #eventdesign #specialoccasion #engagementparty #glasgowwedding #scottishwedding #bobbibrownuk #HarrodsBeauty
