coffee filter flowers from our wedding

wedding center pieces

It's been 3 months since our wedding and I still loved every minute. It was more perfect than I could have imagined. I'd love to say some disaster happened and that's what made it memorable, but no basically it was perfect.

Weather was perfect, food was amazing, my center pieces turned out just as planned. The only thing that was a fail was the photo booth because a) Sean forgot to change the snap on piece for our tripod and b) the wedding coordinators didn't set up my photo back drop wall high enough because I forgot to tell them it goes up to 7ft.

Sean wants to have a wedding every year....I said no.

I thought I'd share a few of my DIY decor pictures from my amazing photographer since I spent so much time making making each center piece. Oh and did I mention I miss counted the tables and had to make a whole new center piece from scratch day before the wedding and not to mention forgetting the sweetheart table too! There were some busy hands at my house a week before the big day, mainly mine! I wish I could say Sean was more helpful, but let's be realistic, boys rarely are. Though I'll give it to Sean, he was pretty dedicated at burning the table numbers onto the wood circles. I never imagined of all things that particular activity would take so long! And when I stressed over instructions for the photo booth he did what all boys do, run to the computer to compose a drawing and instructions on how to put the thing up! And yup that was still the one thing that failed! hahaha

friday flowers: vintage bottles

Pin It Now!
My mother in law collects all sorts of vintage nick knacks. I was completely thrilled when I found these vintage bottles stored away in a shelf in the dining room. Immediately I thought they would be the perfect vases for my coffee filter flowers. Don't they look adorable? coffee filter flowers coffee filter roses

coffee filter flowers

coffee filter flowers

I've been totally obsessed with making coffee filter flowers since I saw it on martha stewart. After some googling I found a variety of tutorials online and tried them all. From various coffee filter rose making methods to peonies which turned out to look more like carnations I think. I even came up with my own version below, which looks more like a peony I think than the ones produced by the tutorials I found online. Though I think it also somewhat resembles a magnolia.
