Prom '11

So Brooke at the florist in town asked me to come in and help her with prom orders last Friday. I complied because I LOVE making boutonnieres and most of the time the kids are happy with them. We do get the occasional complaint that the flower looks dead but they wanted it spray-painted brown so what do they expect?? But we do get some special orders that are fun to make. Here are some pics of what Brooke and I did. She made the wristlets and I did the boutonnieres. :D

We tipped these guys to make them purple

This one was fun to make!!
I wish I got to wear this one
Gerbs are such happy flowers!!
This one was my favorite to make
Brooke was having quite a time figuring out how to make this one work
A lot of the kids wanted feathers this year, it must be the 'thing'
Modeling this one was cool.
The girl who wore this one had a leopard dress,
so Brooke  didn't use a wristlet band, she used wire to attach it to her arm.
You can see the front wire on my hand.

    WOW!! those are gorgeous!!! I just love that blue one w/the peacock feather (3rd pic down).
    But what are boutonnieres? I guess I'll have to go look those up. :)
    Fantastic work!!

    Oi! Fleur, beat me to first post. Inconceivable!!!

    Ahem, anyway, absolutely beautiful work. I love all the feathers and the swirls. The quill-like one is really neat.

    Though, I honestly don't see how anyone dances/does anything with those on their wrist. You'll have to enlighten me on the whole prom idea. Give me horse, we could dance all night. Give me a . . .human . . .wouldn't know what to do with him. :P :D
