Book Rose Topiaries

***Join me over at my new blog:  Life a la Mode***

These took a crazy long time to do. Thankfully I had the help of all the lovely people involved in (the now) Mrs. W's wedding. They did make lovely centerpieces though!





Here's one that's not a vintage process just so you can see some detail.

    I love how you colored the roses! The pearls add an elegant touch, too :) Wonderful job!

    Thanks Lizzy . Just checked out your blog and your wreath looks great. And we have the same bookcases from Target. Must be that great minds think alike ;-).

    Hi Heather, these are beautiful! I'm getting married next spring and would love to do something similar ( but maybe on a smaller scale as I only have 5 months to plan my wedding and not sure I can spend half of that time making paper roses!) You mentioned a PDF file on Stephanie Lyn's blog - do you still have it by any chance for me to see? I'd be really grateful!! Sabs x

    Hi Sabs, yes I still have the PDF file! I'm happy to send it to you. If you leave another comment with your email address, since I moderate the comments, I'll see it but I won't publish the comment, I'll just delete it so your email won't appear on my blog :-). BTW, congratulations on your wedding :-)

I am so excited to see how you got the blush pink to look so settle! Also, do you think this would look good if I was to print pages out instead of ripping up a book? Thank you so much!

    This is so lovely! As soon as I saw it, I went out and tried it to recreate something similar. It's not nearly as beautiful as yours but I gave it a shot.

    I posted it on my blog and referenced back to your post.

    Hi, I echo what the others have said these are amazing. I am worried though as I am about to offer a friend to make these for her wedding reception as she is on a tiny budget, but I may regret the time involved ;)

    If you could send me the PDF I'd appreciate it. nikkirough@hotmail.co.uk

    Thank you x
