Comment on Chanel Paper Flower Fashion Show by Samantha

Hi Martine I have been so busy, I haven't got around to trying to make these yet. I do know that when I try, I will probably cut out each petal individually. I am sure each one will be slightly different to keep the flower looking more natural. I would then probably leave extra paper at the bottom of each petal so that I could twist them together and then cover this with the sepal and glue together and finally add a twisted wire covered in more paper. I am sure there are lots of different ways to make these paper flowers and I think trial and error will be the key. I would personally buy a synthetic flower or pull a real flower apart to see how it is made and copy it literally like a stencil. Draw around the petal shapes and leaves, etc. Mother Nature is the best designer after all. Alternatively, Martha Stewart has so many resources on her website for making paper flowers. She seems to have discontinued the paper flower making kits but from memory, they are as described as above, Separate petals and components, glued together. Some references to them are still available on the internet. Please try some of these links to some templates and instructions. Hopefully they will help. If you make anything, I would love to know how you get on. Good luck! Crepe Paper Roses Tutorial Paper Peonies Tutorial Red Paper Roses Tutorial Martha Stewart Paper Making Kit (Oh, just another note. I think the reason why Chanels flowers look so modern is beacuse they have updated crepe paper with pure white paper. I think making any of the templates above in pure white paper as opposed to the craft stuff will instantly add a contemporary feel.)

Hello Samantha,

Being very inspired by the chanel fashion show, i want to make the paper flowers myself.
I looked all over the internet for a tutorial, but they all seem to be about origami.
Have you figured out a way to make them as modern and rich as chanel did??
i love to hear your toughts.
thanx,
Martine v Haastrecht, Holland

Hi! I am a bride looking for something with an outdoorsy, but romantic, vintage look to it. I like this a lot! My wedding is going to be October 1st, 2011 so I have plenty of time. I was wondering what the entire stationary set would look like if you were to finish it? And, if I could possibly use this design?

Comment on Our Wedding Visit to The Carbis Bay Hotel by Samantha

Thanks for your comment Claire. It’s fantastic to hear from someone who is also planning a wedding at the hotel. I wanted to give an honest review as I couldn’t find much information on the venues in this area of Cornwall and wanted to get in touch with others for their opinions. We are also in London so the planning becomes somewhat harder doesn’t it?

The main room should be finished by the time you visit so I am told. You must let me know how you get on. I am eager to see some pictures so I am hoping that they update their website. We are also planning a visit around that time so I can’t wait to see the improvements.

I have taken a look at Kristin Prisk’s work amongst others. His photography is lovely and I too have looked at the local weddings for inspiration! As our wedding is next year, I haven’t looked at the finer details yet but I will be sure to post updates as much as I can.

Hi Samantha
Just had to drop you a note on the Carbis Bay review. I am having my wedding reception there in June this year. I think you have got it spot on with your description of the place, not perfect yet we still fell in love with it. I didn’t realise they were refurbishing the main room, I am visiting at the beginning of March (I live in London) so can’t wait to see what they do. Keep up the good work! Claire PS I am having Kirstin Prisk as my photographer and you might be interested in his blog he posts to his website. I love looking at all the local weddings – lots of inspiration!
