Epicurious, the uber cool foodie site, isn’t the first place I’d look for centerpiece ideas but, wow!, they have a nice section on DIY centerpieces this month.

When it came time to write my first book, I boldly included a couple of floral projects in the mix. DIY flowers are becoming more popular with DIYers and I figured that needed to be addressed in a hip, fun craft book.
Then reality set in. Me? Do flowers? I was petrified! Of all the wedding [...]

I love, love, love beaded flowers. They take a bit of patience to master but they’re worth it (if you like beaded projects).
BeadJewelryMaking has a nice tutorial for creating beaded roses. Wouldn’t these be lovely as boutonnieres? You could also create a whole bridal bouquet from them or sneak in a few into a fresh [...]
