Frances and Francis

I have always had a thing for paper flowers...I have fond memories of being surrounded by crepe paper as a kid trying my hardest to get it to turn into something that resemble a flower, but these florals from Frances & Francis simply blew me away. Personally handcrafted from London based designer Helen Frances, each bloom has a look of their own and will last forever unlike those beautiful buds we cherish only to toss after a few days. These are perfect for weddings, parties or even a tabletop or two around the home. Do check out Helen's online shop as well for her whole line of blooms both for display and to wear.

A beautiful garden inspired wedding

My heart skipped a beat when I stumbled upon this gorgeous botanical wedding. Bride and groom Josi and Jamess celebrated their nuptials in some serious floral style thanks to the creative minds at Fleur de Cordeur, the mix of garden blooms, fruit and veggies set a beautiful stage for a magical evening. There is something so beautiful and pure about single stems in clear glass that is not only charming and romantic but totally practical for those who want to create major bang for your buck.
