Here at Ellinée we are all about recycling and upcycling. Finding another great use for the paper rose bouquet from Friday’s post is how we like to think. To add a splash of color and a touch of spring, I clipped some of the watercolor butterflies from an earlier post onto the petals and ribbon of the bouquet and placed it into this porcelain hurricane from West Elm. This would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift or grace the shelves of a book case or mantle. There are so many possible uses beyond a wedding for this gorgeous bouquet. ~Lia

I would love that bouquet for mommy day!
Gorgeous!
Beautiful!!! I only wish I’d found you sooner. Hosting an engagement party this weekend and a couple of these bouquets in the bride’s flower colors would have been perfect! Saved you, though…going to do this one soon! Thank you for the tutorial.
You could make one rose for the bride to pin in her hair. Or make the napkin ring version of the rose.
I made this bouquet with scrapbook paper for a friend. It came out absolutely beautiful! I am now working on another one for ME :) Thank you so much for your ideas and beautiful roses! I have made them for teachers and friends and I will never have to buy flowers again! I made a wreath for my daughter’s room, too. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR IDEAS!!
Wow, you are amazing! Post some photos of your work on our Facebook page. We would love to see them!
That is just as sweet as can be! And your photography and staging is beautiful!!
Thanks Yvette! It was a lot of fun to create.
So beautiful! Will for sure be making these for my next party!
I’m in love with this bouquet! I made 5 in different colours lately – 3 as a wedding gifts and 2 for Mother’s Day. I need at least one more for myself, these flowers are just gorgeous! :)
Thanks Joanna! Share photo on our Facebook page. We would love to see your roses.
Done! =)
I found you on Pinterest and was delighted to find that you’re in my “backyard.” :~) We’re 45 miles north in Longview WA
I love your designs and feel so blessed that you share your tutorials with us. Thank you! I can’t wait to try one of your flower designs and to share these with my 9-year-old twin granddaughters, especially the one who wants to be an artist. Do you have an actual store in Portland?
Hello Neighbor! So happy you found us. We don’t have a retail store, though we just opened an online store where we sell web to print stationery. However, we do have an awesome loft studio and when you are in Portland you are welcome to stop by and take a tour.

Hello Roya, I think you make the most beautiful and realistic paper flowers I have ever seen. You are a pro! Every flower in your shop is stunning!
Hi Lia
I really love your website ,especially your white paper roses!!! I enjoyed making the bouquet. Is there anyway you can post the same pdf file with leaves on a separate page and no color Please!!!!
Hope to hear from you soon!!
Thank you
Yes, I can set that up. Watch your email in the next day or so.
Lia, Just noticed, with all the beautiful roses you’ve shared, these aren’t listed in your fabulous freebies (under Mother’s Day or Flowers). I love the combination of the two projects and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss seeing the idea of putting them together like this. This would make a pretty wreath combination. Your spiral rose centerpiece with the butterflies would go nicely together, also. Hope You all are have a great week-end.
Fixed that one. Thanks! Have a great weekend too.
Sorry about that message. Could you tell the pain pills for my back, had kicked in? My back was acting up, the cause for the late night flood of comments. Thanks for putting up with me.
You are fine! I hope you are feeling better. Back pain is the worst!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made these last Mother’s Day and my mom loved it =) I always enjoy your tutorials on this website, they are so beautiful and inspiring!
So good to hear. I will keep them coming!
your blog is fabulous, thank you so much for this freebies !
Thanks Auréila (I love your name).
There is a program on this page to download a PDF program. It is actually an awful babylon program that is just about impossible to remove, and mucks up computers.
They make it appear that to print off the paper flowers you need this program.
Beware! Do not download it
PS awesome flowers
