On the Internets..

Our roses have been on the internets.

A lovely fellow bride named Jennifer from my weddingbee.com days featured us on her blog here:

That same bride, also known as Mrs. Crabcake, wrote about us on weddingbee.com here:

We were also on this blog about incorporating origami in weddings:

Now it's time for me to share some of my photos!



The very first photo I shared on the internet to see what people thought of our origami wedding ideas:

Origami Rose Ball Topiaries



Here are most of our "origami rose ball topiary" centerpieces in "storage" before our wedding (actually, on top of the tv armoire):

Your roses are beautiful! I also made origami roses for my wedding back in 2001. I'm currently making some for sister's wedding. What kind of paper do you use and where do you buy it? Thanks!

Hi Shell! We used Italian paper, called fabriano ingrese, for our roses. We actually bought a huge ream of it at a local art store that was closing that year. The roses come out great in any type of paper, though, if you were wondering.
