How to make paper flowers for weddings

Silk paper has always made me dream. It's the light that shines through, it's childhood memories, it's the imagination of Asian lanterns.

In the old days the wedding couple were decorated in paperflowers, in abundance. This is before the colour white became fashion for weddings. Think many colours, plenty of decorations, passion for bright colours.
For the photos in the song book of wedding songs we will use paper flowers as a theme through the whole photo session.
So, we have to make quite a lot of flowers, but we discovered yesterday evening it was both fun and not so complicated at all. This is how we did:

Fold a paper three times, the third folding will give the shape of a triangle. Cut the end to flower petals:

Place the two papers over each others and twist it to a rose.

Gabriella cutting paper. We used 15 x 15 cm big squares of paper for each flower.




Soliga hälsningar, Eva
