Weddingbee boards

first of all I love sparkles! the one thing my FI remembers about the day we met, was that I sparkled... i NEED sparkles for my wedding, and thought what better place then in the flowers. Now to accomplish that. I had the idea, last night, and going to test it out this weekend, to spray clear coat sealer on a flower and dust it with glitter, super fine glitter, or something called diamond dust.

my hunch is that the spray will help the flower from wilting too quickly. If it works, that will save alot on the day before the wedding, when the wild flowers arrive and bouquets are being made. If the flower lasts, I can do this a few days in advance!

wish me luck, and I will let you know how it turns out.

well, the clear coat did not work so well, day two and it seems to be browning the flowers quicker than normal. I did get a tip yesterday that hairspray is suppose to preserve flowers longer. I think hairspray would also stay wet enough to sprinkle with glitter.

thisismeAXiD funny you should say that because when I mentioned having sparkles in my bouquet my FI suggested sparkelers! *LOL* we laughed so hard at the thought.
