Flopsy, mopsy, and cottontail

As you may remember, my wedding gown is very simple, as are the bridesmaids dresses.

And simple is lovely. But I wanted some girly, frilly accessories to jazz things up. So, inspired by things such as this and this, I decided to craft up some fabric flowers to adorn our hair and dresses.

I didn't follow any specific directions, though I found tutorials like this one over at 100 Layer Cake and this template on Martha Stewart weddings helpful. after a few trial-and-errors in which one flower looks crazy and another far too flopsy, I beleive I've found the perfect process.
