One of our incredibly sweet grooms, Patrick, is making his bride’s bouquet for her . . . out of paper! It’s an origami wedding bouquet, and I must tell you that I was quite the skeptic in the beginning, but I got a sneak peak at the roses and I was quite impressed.
Here is an example of his very early work. His handiwork has improved since this picture was taken, and he has until March 2009 to kick it up a notch!
For those of you (like me) that aren't familiar with origami, it is a centuries-old art of paper folding that began in China.

Love & Soul Always, Kay
