Happy Thursday Lovelies!

Sorry for taking so long to share with you more loveliness!

I finally have a few photos of my paper creations at real weddings!

To start...I'd like to deeply thank my brides and their photographers for sharing the photos with me!

Let's start with Whisper and Dustin's wedding...They married on the famous 12.12.12. in Las Vegas!

While working in Korea...Whisper had contacted me almost a year before the wedding to see if I could make a bouquet in very unique colors: Teal, Red and Black! How Rock & Roll is this? 

To help with the inspiration, she sent me a photos of her wedding shoes (Iron Fist) -- I knew that I was going to make something totally fabulous for her special day!

on the famous Offbeat Bride website!

Sprinkles Inspired Wedding

Happy Friday Lovelies!

I'm so happy to share with you one of my latest collection:

The Sprinkles Inspired Bouquet!

The lovely bride had used the Sprinkles as her wedding theme since the  wedding cake will be covered in Sprinkles...To complement the theme, the paper flower bouquets and boutennieres had to be made with all the beautiful sprinkles colors!

I have to say...I LOVE IT!!!...All the beautiful colors and the touch of glitz...Totally F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S.

The bouquets traveled all the way to Australia for the wedding happening on January 5th, 2013!

1950 Retro Inspired Professional Photos Shoot...

Photograph by {Dzesika} Devic Fotos

Happy Friday everyone!

Today...I'm sharing  fabulous photographs with you...

Dzesika from {Dzesika} Devic Fotos took those stunning shots a while back...I was hoping the photos would be used in a wedding article written about my handmade paper flower bouquets...Since they didn't make it...I promised myself I would write about Dzesika's extraordinary work and boast her talent in capturing emotions and sharp eye to make the little details stand out!

A while back...A dear friend of mine from the Canadian West Coast had sent me the link to view Dzesika's fabulous work...I immediately fell in love with her style...The vintage/Retro look...Since I've work with professional photographers in the past...I contacted Dzesika offering a custom paper floral arrangement that she could use in one of her shoot and in exchange I could use the photos in my shop, Facebook Page and of course Blog! It worked out so nice...A young couple was schedule to have their 1st wedding anniversary shoot and the theme was 1950 Retro Inspired!...This is what I came up with:

Retro 1950 Inspired Bouquet designed by Dragonfly Expression

As I mentionned...The couple in the photos just celebrated their first year anniversary, the day of the shoot they celebrated five years of being together, 

her dress is her grandmothers who wore it on her first date with her grandfather. 

His shirt was her grandfathers. How romantic is that?

What makes Dzesika an AUTHENTIC Vintage Wedding & Engagement Photographer?

In her own words: "...We underestimate the value of nostalgia. Nostalgia is important. It reminds us of who we are, and where we came from. It anchors us emotionally. It gives us somewhere safe to retreat to. It fills us with warmth and sinks deep into us.

You need it. I crave it, too. For me, I’m fortunate. All it takes to bring it back is my parents’ old photo albums.

That’s all I care about now, when it comes to taking photographs. My goal as your wedding photographer is to perfectly capture your moments of love, pride, and joy, and save them for you in your very own nostalgia vault."

I sure hope I'll get to work with this talented photographer again! ;o) Until then...have a lovely weekend!
