DIY Wedding
Hannikay Boutonnieres

Encorporating my dress-paper-pattern roses yet again, I have made 4 boutonnieres for the guys!!

What do you think? Looking at the main blog picture now, this particular one needs the heshen sack leaf trimming (a bit too shabby perhaps lol) but the others aren't all like that.

I used

- dress paper pattern, wrapped around a stick and taped, to make a rose (some have more writing on them than others)
- coarse, sack-like material for a more masculine leaf
- silver fiberous stringy paper for more leaves behind
- old doily from the op shop (or goodwill store as some of you say)
- a satin ribbon loop
- a textured grey ribbon loop

I sewed all the leaves and ribbons together first, then the flower. Finished it all off with a ribbon up the stem.

The hardest part was snipping up the old doily for the lacey effect... aww some little old lady would have spent WEEKS crochering that gorgeous piece, just for me to go CUT! It seriously looked 100 years old. :( Ah well.

Next I need to make some for mum and FMIL. Time to get more girly!

Tell me what you think of them! Masculine enough?

Hannah this is wonderful!  You did a positively splendid job.  As for masculine...it has a doily made by a 100 year old woman who is now off crying somewhere :)  I think it is just about as masculine as all boutonnieres, however I do think it will blend much better with his jacket than a normal flower.  Great detail for your photographer to play with!  Lucky men :)

Good job hunny ;) So fun to make aren't they?!? Keep up the great work and you should be sure your photographer takes photos of these beauties both on and off the groomsmen!

Shayla... Haha you made me laugh. Our guys are wearing light grey shirts and dark grey vests with no jacket, but I think you're right... they'll blend great!

Ileigha you flatter me! As you can see it's just bits and pieces sewn together. So glad you like them!

Miss Amiee... you warm my heart... I'm rocked that you love them that much! It was very fun indeed, you're right. Pumped to work on the ladies' ones now!

May, thanks so much for your encouragment!  I'm so glad you like all my projects! *happy face* :D

Brittany.. You're a darl. =)

Missde... I have never tried half these projects before in my life, so it's been risky, but it just goes to show that we should all TRY before we say  we 'can't.' So glad you approve. ;)

Thanks Jeannie!!! x

Rhonda, I saw you checked back on my bouquet. You've seen my vision? YEAH BABY!! :)
