"Prom Designs" ~ Week 2 ~

Week 2 of my marathon of Proms has passed & I thought I'd share a few of my favorite designs. Even though a lot of the girls are wearing the same color of dress, it is my goal for us to design all the wristlets & boutonnieres different in some way. No girl wants to show up & have someone else wearing the same dress, so I would think she would also like to have flowers that are unique to her as well.



Periwinkle Cymbidium Orchids ( This was achieved by using flower tint in layers to create this unique color. It started out as a cream orchid with pink veins.) The dress this was designed for was Turquoise Blue.



This is a close up shot of the rhinestone dragon fly used to accent the above wristlet.



White Roses are accented by Pool Blue. This was for a dress of all Black with a Pool Blue sash.



This girl's dress was "Pinkish Orange" that is what she told me on the phone, so once again I turned to my flower tints & layered colors over a pale peach with some pink hues on a mini calla lily.

Black dress was the base for this design. The girl asked for white flowers with some blue accents. I think we hit the mark on that! We used white Dendrobium Orchids, with fun wired bead accents. The ribbons were a combination of pale blue with black & iridescent
.


This one was not for a prom order, it was ordered by a man for his wife who was receiving some type of an award. He asked for white with pale yellow accents & for the shoulder, not the wrist. White roses & pale yellow tinted iridescent leaves. Love my flower tints!



Two toned pink sweethearts with hot pink & silver ribbon, accented with hot pink holographic leaves & bead work. This was for a Metallic Silver dress!



Tangerine Orange was the dress color for this one. We decided to use silver holographic leaves to pick up the silver sequined beading on the dress. We used shades of orange Sweetheart Roses & added orange rhinestones with two different types of orange ribbons.



Shades of Lavender to Purple were used for this wristlet to accent a dress that was completely white with iridescent sequins & beading.

Most all of these were created on our keepsake rhinestone bracelets. I believe all the girls were thrilled with their flowers, which is our goal....Always!

Week 3 of Proms will be posted next weekend. This one will feature my son & his date's flowers. Oh what will I come up with.....I was told the dress was a red, but not red?? HUH?? Then I saw the dress.....Yep she was right....red, but not red.....the heat is on.....what will I use.

I've ordered in a number of possibilities, which I have no idea if any of them will work. As always.....obsessing over personal orders! Fingers crossed that I will come up with something very unique!
