Paper Flowers at Paper Platypus

Recently, my good friends, Robin and Alex, were getting ready for their wedding in New Hampshire and didn't have a huge budget to spend on their wedding. They decided to make their own flowers for the boutonnieres, bouquets, and table arrangements to save some money. Although it took them awhile to make all the flower arrangements, they saved a LOT of money, the flowers were unique, and they didn't have to worry about the flowers dying and browning in the hot weather. I should note that their wedding ceremony and reception was outside in the middle of August! They were even featured in The Knot for their creativity! Check out their pictures from The Knot below.

Although they made their own flowers, there are companies available that will do the work for you and still make your event unique and affordable! I really like Paper Platypus. They can be found on Etsy, of course:) Look at their individual mums below; they look so real!

Very cool idea! I love that you can try color combos you wouldn't be able to with real flowers!

It was a beneficial workout for me to go through your webpage. destination management company Wellington, FL It definitely stretches the limits with the mind when you go through very good info and make an effort to interpret it properly. I am going to glance up this web site usually on my PC. Thanks for sharing
