Yes you heard right, wedding bouquets made from paper. You are probably wondering where this idea came from, as was I. That&#8217;s why I got in touch with Siobhan of Paper Petals to find out where the idea for her business venture came from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0&#8220;<em>I came up with the idea of the paper flowers after a bad reaction to pollen at a wedding last year. I started wondering what I would do at my own wedding if I were to get married during the summer, and what other brides do when they have allergies.\u00a0I loved origami when I was younger, and the paper flowers seemed like the way to go.\u00a0They are also a great way for me to stay connected with weddings. What I love the most about them is their versatility. You can have your own dates or messages printed on them; you can have them made with your favourite novel or poem; you can have whatever colours you want AND you get to keep them forever. I just love making things. So much so, I have now started doing ribbon flowers as well. They all take a bit of time, but they are worth it in the end.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Click on an image to open the gallery and to view the larger images:<\/p>\n<div
