We finally finished our tissue pomanders and it feels awesome. I think are really going to pop against our white chairs in our outdoor ceremony. Please excuse the mess of the closet we have them stored in! Any ideas what I should put down the aisle? I am trying not to get too fussy since these are so large. Will flowers on the runner be too much?

amazing! Do you have a tutorial or link on how to do that? I think that is something I want to try to make!!
Thos are AWESOME!! How long did they take to make and roughly how expensive? I'm looking for fresh flower alternatives!!
Those are adorable! I love the mix of colors.
Wow - good job! I agree with the others, I didn't realize they were paper, I thought they were silk flowers. Awesome!
These take a long time to make. We ordered our tissue in bulk and cut it down to size. We started with a 5" styrofoam ball ( i ordered a pack of 12 off of ebay) We used three different colors of tissue paper alternating the order to create more depth. I will try to put together a more formal tutorial when I have a bit of time!
Those look amazing! I am trying to make those myselfs but I seem to keep ending up with a few flowers that are a different size and therefor stick out more than the rest when placed on the ball....how did you get yours so even??
@calbride...they look awesome!! My sister and I are supposed to start on the ones for her wedding this weekend. She is getting married in September.
Abt how long does it take to make these? I know for the regular flower balls it took about 30 mins to an hour for each one...of course there is less prep work than with the tissue paper.
Those look amazing! I think they will be stunning against white chairs outside. So pretty. You must put up a pic of them at the ceremony.
Those look awesome. I bet someone would even buy them from you after your wedding, they look really nice!
@MissGoodie We folded the issue in half when we put the wire on and checked again to make sure the sides were even after trimming. I also found that the spacing had a lot to do with how even the pomander was. Hope that helps!
Wow those are so pretty! I would never have the skill or patience to do anything like that!
Wow, those are so beautiful! You did such a great job! I can't believe they are tissue paper. And they will definitely pop against the white chairs.
Those are aweomes. It might look to busy with flowers down the isle. You can always use tuille with the pommanders
Congratulations! They look gorgeous. I'm so jealous - I have finished 6 (of 10) white tissue paper pomanders and I am SO ready to be done with this project!!
Oh, and I thought it was funny that I'm storing my completed pomanders in the exact same way - hanging on coat hangers in the closet!
I'm doing this too - and mine are stored the same way! We've done 4 so far and it's taken like a million hours, and I just checked with our venue yesterday about how many rows of chairs we'll have...8 rows! 16 chairs on the aisle! I quickly decided that we'll do every other chair :) Congrats on finishing - they look great!
@calbride PLEASE make a tutorial...even a super basic one :)
Those babies are GOREGOUS, how long did it take per/pomander?
I'd love love love it!
*not* that I need ANOTHER DIY project to try to tackle...hehe :)
the look fantastic!!! what such a great DIY job!
Cant wait for the tutorial... even tho im half way through making ribbon pomanders!!
wow i was about to ask what kind of flowers you used, then i noticed the word tissue!! great job, i really love them and would love to see a tutorial, even a basic one!
I agree I want a tutorial. I have seen other tissue paper ones before that LOOK like tissue paper. These look beautiful! How did you do it?
I agree. Tutorial of some kind, to any of you that stated you made/are making them!
i love these! they are the same colours that i am doing mine in.... great minds think alike!
Awesome!!! You should sell those on etsy...when you get some spare time!!
Very pretty!! I just finished BFF's this past weekend too! I love the colors you used!!

this site above has a great tutorial on how to do these... and get them all the same shape! i can get one ball done in an hour now! sometimes less.
where did you order your bulk tissue paper from?
So cute! I love how the two colors go so well together!
BEAUTIFUL! you're getting me excited to start my project, i just bought all of the tissue paper (baby yellow, white, ivory, light gold) floral wiring and 5 in. balls from walmart ($2.57 per ball)... and beautiful yellow and white damask ribbon from michael's for $1.00! :)
will definitely post pics/tutorial once i'm finished, i just hope mine turn out as pretty as yours!
they look really awesome...i love how "tight" and perfectly round they are!!! you've got skill lady!!!!!
