I&#8217;ve always been creative and tried in many different areas of art.&nbsp;I discovered sugar flowers 12 years ago but wanted to find a more versatile media. One that could be displayed and enjoyed without worrying about breakage. I discovered crepe paper flowers can be made to look just as delicate and soft as the real thing. I realized I had finally found my creative outlet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tune in for a brief history of paper flowers!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is your inspiration? How are the flowers made?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chelsey, from our Facebook group (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1857513534549498\/\">Forever Brides<\/a>), said, &#8220;I\u2019m doing paper flowers with sheet music from our first dance song and the first song we wrote together&#8221; Can this actually be done?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From Wendy,&nbsp;&#8220;I use only the finest Italian and German crepe papers. Each petal is hand-cut, dyed and sculpted into flowers for any occasion. They are hypoallergenic and will not bother people who may be sensitive to fragrance.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost \/\/ Benefits \/\/ Realistic or Not<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Better for the environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allergies &amp; bugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I did some research, before this, and by that, I mean searching on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1857513534549498\/\">Forever Brides facebook group<\/a> to see what our brides were saying about paper flowers and so many people were endorsing it and cheering on other brides to do it! But my favorite line I read was by this girl Lauren and she said, \u201cI went the paper and wood route and now I have my wedding flowers forever, and they were half the cost of &#8216;real&#8217; flowers. Do ittttt\u201d&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Versatile! They can be incorporated alone or with fresh!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This is how and where you can save on costs (or splurge)!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing thoughts:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keepsake forever, 1st-anniversary gift, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wjmpaperfloraldesigns\/\">WJM Paper Floral Designs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wjmpaperfloraldesigns\/\">@wjmpaperfloraldesigns<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/iIuc5mSTQtg\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are sharing a great way to save money and make your wedding stand out.
