DIY Pressed Floral Napkins & Table Marker

July 9, 2019 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

Looking to add something unique to your special day? By using found flowers (better yet, pick or buy local blooms), you can make two beautiful creations: hammer-dyed floral napkins and pressed flower signs to take your tablescape from boring to beautiful. Maddie Ward of Sonnet Weddings created these floral masterpieces as a part of our Spring/Summer 2019 issue of Weddings in Arkansas. Now, she will be teaching us, too. Follow the steps below for each DIY!

Check out the full styled shoot and more inspiration on page 21 in print or view online here.

weddings in arkansas: southern inspired bouquets

January 30, 2013 by weddingsar

We recently shared our fall/winter issue’s fashion images here, but today’s post is all about the bouquets. These unique Southern bouquets were each inspired by a different natural Southern element: magnolia blooms, cotton, wheat, feathers and pinecones, to name a few. They started arriving one by one at the studio that morning and we were blown away by these talented floral designers and the bouquets they created for the photo shoot. We hope you enjoy these beauties!

Elements native to Arkansas, such as cotton and rice, inspired the look of our Southern fashion feature. We wrapped a handful of Arkansas rice with a pretty ribbon to make a simple and southern bouquet.
