Finding the perfect gift for a bride and groom is not always easy.  Sure they have registered and sent out good wishes to the bride fairies of Bloomingdales, Sears, and JC Penney.  But, I love to give gifts that not just anyone can dream up. I may have found it. In my scrap pile, I came across some soft cotton or linen fabric that Jessica gave to me. I cut the squares. Then, I ironed them. After that, I folded and ironed the crease, making sure to fold and iron again.

Next, I zigzag stitched to each petal the letter or number necessary. Now, my niece and new nephew will have the perfect gift to put on their first Christmas tree, or hang on the wall, or whatever they want. I also may start selling personalized flowers for other bride's bouquet on etsy. I just love it. These could also make wonderful SAVE THE DATE photo cards or momentos.

 Now, my dilemma is which center. It has to be perfect. I do not know the wedding colors at this time so I need to stick with a cream or ivory. I prefer circles rather than ovals.

I also think it would be nice to paint or stitch the last name initial for the center piece in the flower. I am also thinking of attaching an ivory satin cord or ribbon to provide for easy hanging.

As well as the first Christmas tree, it could be used in any wedding décor. Several sister flowers could be made to go on sashes, belts, or ribbons to be worn or even placed on the cake.
