Why kill flowers when you can just make one, in the case of this origami boutonniere.
The bridal party got origami necklaces, origami place cards, the centerpieces and even the bride's bouquet were made from origami flowers!

My fiance is really good at origami so we thought it’d be fun to have some shower flower favors that are paper roses made from the pages of bridal magazines.
I just love this idea!!! Questions: Is this girl in the OBT? Wear did she get her dress (my best friend wants it for her wedding)? Where did she get the flower instructions; book, website?
Hi! I’m worthy of Wedding Porn, I’m psyched!
The dress is Nanette Lepore and is on clearance now (damn) at Neiman Marcus/Saks/Bloomingdales.
There are good instructions on origami on Youtube, the best written instructions came out of an “Origami a Day” calendar.

Very cool! I tried something similar (though not as cool) by making fabric flower pins for everyone in the wedding party.
my favorite thing about origami flowers, button flowers, fill-in-the-blank-with-other-awesome-crafted-flowers (other than how great they look, of course) is their permanence. keeping a few of those around in a vase would be a sweet, subtle wedding memento; the (live) orchids i carried at my wedding were awesome, but keeping them around for more than a few days was a bit too miss havisham for me. good on you, fauxflowering brides – i’m jealous!
I guess I’m not a wannabe after all! I’m also having paper flowers and I have a book waiting for me on origami flowers at the library. Awesome!
Cute one! My most recent project was to create a white lily using gum paper. It was really tiny and you gotta have a good finger to play with… but the result was awesome.
This post is such perfect timing. I have been wanting to do origami cranes and flowers for my wedding day, but couldn’t think of how to combine them. Wonderful photos!
I love the idea of origami flowers, and had considered doing them myself, since they can be made a few at a time way in advance.
Thanks for helping me to see that paper flowers look AMAZING as wedding bouquets!
