Make flowers out of love letters (or emails)

At a Glance

“Eirik handmade all the flowers. Since we met online, my bouquet was made out of paper that I had printed our very first emails to each other on. My bridesmaids’ flowers had their respective names printed on them, the moms had white flowers with “Mom” printed on them, and the groomsmen and dads had boutonnieres made out of pages from comics books.”

If you’re thinking of making paper flowers, consider making them from love letters (or printed out emails… or texts… or whatever!), like Monica & Eirik:

Adorable! More inspiration from Monica & Eirik’s pop culture desert wedding.

Now spill: what documents would YOU make flowers out of?

    My husband and I look to Big Barda and Mr. Miracle as our power couple. Personality wise there’s a lot of similarities. Barda and Miracle were also our first cosplay and our first con together. I found the pictures of our cosplay and made the boutonnieres out of those pictures. Those were the only flowers we had at the wedding.

    If anyone would like a tutorial on how to make flowers like these (I did something very similar for our wedding), I wrote one up and posted it right here: http://www.thecareandfeedingofnerds.com/2013/02/geeky-crafting-paper-flowers.html
