pom squad

January 9th, 2013 | Posted by Hello Love in Flower - (Comments Off)

You may have gathered that I do way more than just flowers! I love all things craft too! What you may not know, is my deep love for pom poms….I used store bought mini poms for my 2009 wedding sprinkling them down the center of our family style tables a la runner and handmade pom pom wreaths hung over the entry doors to our venue! The pom squad is now in full force and here are some clever ways to use these puffy little yarn pretties!

FLOWER CHILD DIY

September 5th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Flower - (Comments Off)

I am loving this kid-friendly tutorial for making a floral halo by the house that lars built for hello bee! Grab your flower girl(s) and get busy!

Materials: flowers, clippers.

tep 1: Cut down the flowers to 5-7 inches long. Take off extra greenery.

Step 2: Cross one flower over the other.

Step 3: Take the top flower and wrap it under the bottom and then up to the top again. Bring it down to lay with the first stem. The tighter you do this, the more secure the crown.

Step 4: Lay the next flower down close to the second and repeat the process.

Step 5: When you reach the right length for the shape of the head, weave in the ends of the stems into the first flowers.

DONE!

That’s it! To create a fuller crown, weave in more flowers. For variation, try varying the flowers for different patterns.

Mod Pop | Styled Shoot from Matt McNeill on Vimeo.

 

“It’s not often that I have the opportunity to go crazy with a look: Blemished grain, washed out contrast, gritty locations, flawed colors… While the things happening in front of the camera could have been interpreted in any way, I was more focused on peculiarity than the actual beauty of it. Add some awkward camera angles and Alicia Rico and you’ll have modern pop! The music choice is a Les Gams (French) cover of a non-hit single by The Exciters, He’s Got the Power–– A Le Truc!”
