Flowers and paper are two of the most important design elements of weddings! They both set the stage for the big day, define your style, and allow other things to follow suite and fall into place! Bows and Arrows teamed up with Southern Fried Paper to show you how flowers and paper can work hand in hand and make for a fantastical dynamic duo!

frida-esque

Frida Kahlo is a symbol of beauty, creativity, and strength and infamous for her emblematic self portraits. She inspires my work with flowers and head pieces more specifically. Since we are celebrating a week of Cinco de Mayo,  here on the blog, I decided to  treat myself to a Frida-esque make-over!  I rounded up one of my good friends and fellow florist Nicole Hammontree with The Wooly Thistle to help me create a few master pieces.
