I came across this blog written by Chelsea Fuss, and I just fell in love! Her blog features a stunning combination of vintage charm and sheer whimsy. I can’t get enough of the light and airy feeling it boasts. It makes me want to live in her photos.
Chelsea is a prop stylist and floral designer. She lives in Portland Oregon and recently returned from an extended trip to Sweden. She is kind enough to regularly update her blog with not only her fantastical creations, she also posts about things that inspire her. In fact, I think that just might explain her blog quite accurately {inspiring}.
Chelsea has been kind enough to allow me to feature a tutorial she wrote for project wedding for these gorgeous tea cup flower arrangements. I know you’ll enjoy it, even her scissors are inspiring. I would love to encourage you to take a whimsical journey over to Chelsea’s blog {frolic!} and lose yourself in inspiration!
Tea Cup Flower Arrangements
These darling, candy-striped flower arrangements could be used as favors for a bridal shower or at a bridesmaid’s luncheon. We filled vintage teacups with yellow and pink roses and then placed a cheery flag in each arrangement! The best part is that the tea cups can be used forever after the flowers fade away.
You will need:
-Old tea cups (we found ours at a thrift store for less than $5)
-2 small roses, 1 large rose, 1 dahlia bud, 1 stem of sedum per arrangement
-Cardstock
-Calligraphy pen
-Long toothpicks
Instructions:
1. Fill tea cups with cold water.
2. Cut stems of roses about 1 inch short and placed them in the teacup.
3. Fill in the space between the roses with sedum and then added a dahlia bud poking up out of the side.
4. Cut a piece of cardstock about 1.5 inches wide and 8 inches long.
5. Fold the cardstock in half and cut a v in the end so it looks like a ribbon.
6. Tape a long toothpick to the inside of the flag and then wrote in a calligraphy pen on each flag.
7. Display the teacups at the entrance to your event. We chose a candy-striped cotton to echo the colors of the teacups and roses.
