Wedding Invite Collage

My best buddy’s nephew is getting married. The Mom of the Groom asked me to create a collage that features the invitation. She plans to give this to her future daughter-in-law at the bridal shower.

She asked me to incorporate the 3 types of flowers:
ivory roses • purple orchids • white calla lillies

Here is what I came up with:


I watched this video to create the roses - love how they turned out. Will be making more of these. I also made the orchid from paper. A few of the forum members from SVG Cuts directed me to some orchid SVGS (thanks ladies). I could not pull off the calla lilly using paper so I opted for a silk flower. I did make the rose and orchid leaves from paper. Some of them look real. The scalloped background and swirl frame are from SVG Cuts - I used Bo Bunny Jazmyne for the scallop and dark purple cardstock.

Here are a few closeups:



If you have a wedding coming up - why not make a collage featuring the invite?
It is a good excuse to play with paper!
