This blog is evolving. Or rather i keep changing my mind about what it should encompass. It doesn't really matter, because generally its still about Flower Couture, wedding flowers and crafts. Most of the time, its the creative personnel who's writing here, instead of the business development personnel, who's writing more at www.flowercouture.com

UP! / Old School Ring Holder Box

Several post back, i wrote about using fresh flowers for ring holders instead of the boring old ring pillow. Well, now i'm thinking of ring holders in boxes, and i made one for a couple who's getting hitched this weekend.

Their wedding decor theme was UP!/Old School - Tiffany Blue & Canary.

So i started out with an old schoolish chalkboard box and worked my way from there.

Honestly it was tedious and required quite a bit of inspiration. I did it over a couple of weeks, a little bit here and a little bit there. It was a bit exhausting for me personally because the possibilities were endless and i tend to get paralysed when i have too many options to choose from. Same reason why scrapbooking never really caught on with me. To many permutations.

I doubt i'll replicate something exactly like this again. I get bored easily with repetitive reproduction of the same product.  It made me realise that Flower Couture will probably never provide mass market wedding services. This implies that we may not grow to be a huge company -_- , unless i take off my Designer hat (according to E-Myth) and put on my Business hat perpectually.

I digress, anyway, here's the ring holder : )




Plain O Chalkboard Box

Found these scrabble alphabet tiles at "made with love" (Plaza Sing) and it just rocks with the UP! theme.
Seriously couldn't resist 'em.


Right side - initially i wanted to use scrapbooking badges (there were some in UP!) but  they were simply overpriced.
 So let's go for old school buttons and ribbon badges intsead.

Left side - a new "home" which the newly weds are establishing together.




2 Hand sewn heart-shaped mini pillows inside to hold the rings.
