Do-It-Yourself Wedding Projects
I haven’t ever seen anything like this next entry…origami branches, used as a colorful touch to an elegant wedding. I can’t believe how beautiful they are…
Instructions on Making Origami Branches…
I made these flowering branches by attaching small origami lilies (folded from 75 mm paper) to branches with thin silver wire. After making all of the flowers, cut 3-4″ lengths of silver wire and form a small loop at the end of each piece of wire. Then poke a hole in the bottom of each flower, and insert the straight end of the wire into the flower (the loop prevents the wire from going all the way through the flower). Then, attach 5-6 flowers to each branch by wrapping the wire around small twigs. Insert the finished flowering branch into a clear vase.

I honestly can’t believe how talented all of you guys are…I feel like we should open a shop together. You would all be millionaires! We will continue on with the brilliant entries tomorrow. Have a great evening!

What a brilliant idea to showcase the hard work of these very talented brides! It’s so interesting to see actual examples created from the ideas and inspiration we read about here and in the magazines. I can’t wait to see who the winner will be! (I’m rooting for the girl who did the pears, mismatched paper items and the toile runners. So charming!)

Any chance that any of these will be accompanied by how-tos??? I love some of these ideas, but would be hard-pressed to duplicate without a little guidance!

Ok, I’m embarrassed…just remembered the post from a few days ago that how-tos will be posted at the contest’s close. Sorry!

i love the pool blue & red combo — I think I have commented about that in the past, but it is so striking, I had to mention it again. I also love the rhinestones….very fun touch!
