As a florist, fresh flowers are of course my favorite thing to work with–but lately I also am loving fabric, lace and ribbon flowers–especially when mixed in with real blooms! I also love seeing them worked into necklaces, wrist corsages, ring pillows and fascinators. They have a much more unique, one-of-a-kind look than silk flowers, they hold together better than dried flowers, they are fancier than paper flowers and they last way longer than fresh flowers–so what’s not to love?! I have collected some of my favorite fabric flower looks below. There are some made of satin, organza, felt, lace, ribbon and other miscellaneous fabric materials–but the one thing they have in common is they are all awesome!!!

Did I mention I have included some DIY projects below on how to make them? Well–I did, so ENJOY!
