This is an update on the finished products that were used for the wedding. I had to make 13 corsages with 3 different designs, and I had to make 9 boutonnieres with 3 different designs. Essentially, I cam home from school, and sat at my kitchen table to start cutting and gluing flowers together. It was about a 6 hour job. My hands got so much glue, that the next day when I was taking a Chem test I was still picking at the glue.
Mom for weeks confidently told me that it would be simple and quick job since she would be helping. I always gave her a look of incredulity. When the moment of truth came, out of the 23 things I had to make, she only made 4. Big help she was....Well, we got the job done and I've decided that I will make a terrible florist. Terrible! I had zero patience by the time I got to making the boutonnieres. The whole family had to sit at the kitchen table and tell each other jokes to keep my sanity. <3 my parents.
Well here are the completed works:
