DIY ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket

[PearlDahhhling]

So one of the things I was looking forward to most with wedding planning is all of the DIY projects I''d planned on doing! I LOVE projects and being creative and making things! Here are my flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow!

The basket used to be yellow so I spray painted it "antique white" and added the ribbon and flowers. The pillow doesn''t have a pillow case, and the ribbons and flower are just kinda temporarily tied on there because I think I''m going to make an ivory pillow case for it, but I wanted to get an idea of what it was going to look like!

I might change the bows on the side... I made them a little smaller than I think I want them to be...

Doesn''t the flower look real!??! I found it at Michael''s crafts and it looks SO real in person. It even feels real!

I love that flower from Michael''s!! When I saw those I even considered doing all bouquets myself using that peony, but changed my mind in the end! It''s the most realistic peony I''ve seen!

I have that same rose for my DIY bouquet and my flower girl flower ball that is only 60% finished right now. They feel amazing!

Love the peony or rose or whatever that is on the pillow. Perfect shades of pink!
