TISSUE FLOWERS!

I love making my clients samples it helps with visualizing and I also believe it also brings in a level of trust in completing the project. So I thought I should share what I’ve been up to with a DIY. My client’s daughters birthday is coming up and I have the pleasure and honor to style her event ♥ I’m planning on adding Tissue paper party decor, and these tissue flowers are fabulous. This is such an easy DIY and you can really add it to any event you are planning to give it some punch! From Birthdays to baby showers including weddings. These can be incredibly dreamy or incredibly fun!
