DIY Floral Crown

My cousin is about to have her wedding this coming end of June and I personally suggested to have floral crowns for the bridesmaids and flower girls. Buying ready made floral crowns is more expensive than making it so we decided to do it by ourselves. 

What we used:
Flowers
Floral Tape/ Masking Tape
Floral Wire/ Wire
Cutter/Scissors

First, the flowers. The color theme was blue so we ended up with these 





Next, Floral wire. 
It is basically a wire with little circles around it, which happened to be Styrofoams


Simply shape the wire into circle. 
Estimate how big or small it should be by trying it to your head to make some adjustments like this


My very own circle wire! Haha okay that is not a circle.
Kidding aside, if you want to make better than mine, 
you can use containers merely as same size of your head and trace your wire there.


Attach the flowers to the wire by curling the flower stems.
The firmer the better. Try to hide all the curls behind the flower.
I purposely show off that one for you to see the stem.


 Put more flowers. Try to be creative in matching and arranging them. It is really up to you. 
If you're going to cover all the wire with flowers, the next steps are not really necessary.  
But for us, we decided not to put flowers at the back


Hide unavoidable curls like this, (this is the curl when we made the circle wire)..



Use the floral tape. It really looks like masking tape but its not.
Their difference? Well, the floral tape is more like a sticky cloth. 
Unlike masking tape, you cannot tear it up so easily. 
And it is really for making floral crowns. 


But still, you can use masking tape if you want to.
Start covering up those curls. This is how it should look like.


and we're done!

Philippine Fashion Week 2013

 I've been able to attend Philippine Fashion Week with my friends last May 25, Saturday at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia. Bloggers, designers, celebrities and models were everywhere when we arrive there, different people with different personality. The great thing about the fashion week is that, everyone is not afraid of showing off their style. Everyone is unique.

Penshoppe's Fashion show starts at 7pm, first floor, so before we head to our seats, we took couple of photos.

After the show, they give away goodies too. But I didn't able to get one. Next time maybe. They also offered free flowing drinks, we had some of course.

jen and che with their drinks
Spotted Dani Barreto there, she's with other bloggers too like Ava and Anagon.
We also found KC del Rosario there, so friendly and sweet


The next fashion show would be at the second floor Magnum featuring Luxewear and many other designers. The runway was yellow designed with the big M at the front



The show was opened and closed by Georgina Wilson while carrying and eating Magnum at the end.

After so many clothes, they give away free Magnums, mine was chocolate brownie flavored and my friend beside me had Classic. We took also some photos inside, not paying too much attention with the fashion show..


..until a male model walk only in his bright red undies, I think that was the last designer, and the show ended.


The show was really really great. It is my first time to attend something like this and I'm looking forward to attend more of Philippine Fashion Week this coming years. We had so much fun. The following would be photos after the show with some male models and celebrities we admire.
