Wedding Peonies

How awesome having your Mums flowers and interesting way to preserve them. Gorgeous photos and I love peonies but difficult to grow in Auckland  The BG paper is impressive  

I've never heard of preserving flowers that way, very interesting. The peonies are very pretty! I love the font you used.

I really enjoyed reading your story. Great page to share this memory and lovely flower photos.

Thanks, Jane. I grow the flowers - the LO is for my daughter. The background is the CKDailyPlanet art, overlayed with Janet Scott's template, which is filled with a photo of our white peonies.

This method was suggested by our wedding florist. She had heard of it but never tried it, and it really worked out well. I probably dipped about five inches of each stem in the wax.

Oh, and the font was a free download for personal use from dafont.com. I added a 3D effect.

This is SO interesting and so is your journaling.   How cool that you could preserve your own peonies for your daughter’s wedding, that’s so special.   I like your photos and how you arranged them and your background blending is lovely.   I’m so enjoying seeing your album come to life and how you are so creatively fitting your pages into challenges.  Thanks for joining in the Weekend Challenge!   

This is a beautiful page, love how you created your background and the photos of the peonies are gorgeous.  Your garden must smell heavenly when they bloom.  Great story, I never knew you could do that...amazing.  You obviously have a lot of peony bushes.  I love this.
