Flowery Romance


Flowers are essential in romance. Be it as gifts or as decorations. I can't imagine going to a wedding or a romantic restaurant that is without flowers. It would just be like having bread without butter or jam: Plain.

So my DIY for this romantic month is none other than a flower sash! :)


It's a super simple DIY. All you need are some artifical flowers and ribbons. I have choosen 2 ribbons (1 white lace + 1 Pink) and flowers of 2 colours. 


Step 1: Cut your ribbon to your desired length (enough to loop round your waist and tie a ribbon at the end comfortably). It's always ok to have a longer ribbon and trim the excess later.
For my case, I need to sew my 2 different ribbons together after cutting them to the desired length. 


Step 2: Decide where you want your flowers to be and sew them onto the ribbon.


Tah Dah! Your sash is ready to be used!


 You can use it as a sash around the waist over different outfits, when you are in the mood for romance. It would also look great for little flower girls or even your bridesmaids!


 Or loop it over your head twice to use it as a head band.

Who says women need to wait for men to give them flowers. Make one today and have fun! 

Ash :o)

  5. Who doesn't love flowers??? They are so beautiful.
    I don't know how you manage to look so soft in your pictures, but you always look gorgeous. You have such a cute, feminine quality. I photograph way more edgy, and I wish I could achieve this level of softness.
