Princess Lasertron, Omaha Vendor: Flowers made of felt, vintage buttons and other ephemera Website: Princess Lasertron About Me: I started Princess Lasertron in 2005 creating custom bouquets out of felt, vintage buttons, and other ephemera. I give each bride an heirloom-quality piece that will bring a personal dimension to their wedding and everyday lives. What I love most is meeting and collaborating with unique women whose weddings are a true representation of them and their partners. As for me...I live nocturnally, I'm an INTP, I play Dungeons and Dragons every other Saturday, and I'm a perpetual student.

Valentine’s Crafting

February 9th, 2009 @ 3:59 pm by Guest

This guest post comes from former Weddingbee blogger Mrs. Raspberry, who founded the stationery company Haute Papier.

~~~

I am a sucker for beautiful Valentine's cards. While I spend weeks thinking about the perfect Holiday card every year, I really enjoy thinking up the perfect Valentine. This year, I've been whipping up a ton of these little hearts to go along with our Haute Papier Valentine's cards. They're super quick and so cute when displayed all together, or strung and hung as a garland.

I've been making them in sets that are color coordinated… All of these red, white and pink ones are for my darling husband. For our friends, family and clients, I've been playing with shades of browns and neutrals. Keep reading for step-by-step directions and more pictures…

Flush Designs, Pasadena Vendor: Invitations, Event & Floral Design, Photography Website: Flush Designs About Me: Flush Designs is run and owned by me, Courtney C. Keefe de Jauregui. It is all encompassing, from the custom & handmade invitations seen at my website, to full exploration in event styling and design, to flower arranging, to playing sidekick and second shooter to my husband's wedding photography. I am working on becoming a wedding "One stop shop". :) I am a graduate in fine art painting, but a self taught graphic designer. As I still needed to get my hands dirty, I started taking letterpress classes, thus becoming my new love. When I am not busy working (usually still in my pajamas) and telling myself to remember to buy a new chair (this one hurts), I am singing to my 3 cats and enjoying a cold pint with my husband at our favorite local Irish pub. Maybe it's in the reverse order. :)

Golf Tee Boutonnierre!! What Boy Wants to Wear a Flower Anyway…

February 4th, 2009 @ 1:33 pm by Courtney @ Flush Designs

I just decided to make this!

I thought it would be a cute idea for those that have fiancés that are into golf or those that are getting married at a golf club. I bought them in white and natural and painted some blue. You could paint them any color to match your wedding.

Sabra’s Birds

February 3rd, 2009 @ 1:58 pm by Megan @ Princess Lasertron

About a year ago when I was working on Kinder, planning my toy store (that is on hold for 2009 because of bridal commitments) Sabra asked me to make a set of birds to use as part of the centerpieces of her reception tables.
