Want to go to vintage prom with me??

Inspired by vintage prom dresses and being a proud owner of a gorgeous vintage pink prom dress... I thought of something and being a floral designer for a long time, I don't work now but I have made 100's of corsages and have done a few weddings also !

I decided to create some of these.. because you can't go to prom with out a corsage!

ALL of these corsages are about 98% completely vintage, the only thing new used was a couple ribbons and the floral tape along with these certain millinery flowers, this one here has a very old early 1900's ribbon in it , blue satin, with velvet ribbons, vintage tulle, vintage lace,velvet leaves,a few glittered posies,and some sparkly ribbons also! Fabulous and pretty! These come with pearl pins also for wearing! Some will be listed in the shop today!
PhotobucketI love this pink one with big floppy vintage pink millinery flowers ,mercury glass pink and silver picks, vintage tulle ,vintage ribbons , this one is 100% all vintage, except for the floral tape!Double pearl pins on this one!Wouldn't this be a lovely gift for Mother's Day!?
PhotobucketI love this one, I added german glass glittered stars to this one and it really sparkles, huge floppy millinery flowers ,crinkled seam binding ribbon, vintage tulle, other millinery flowers,velvet leaves! I have so much fun making these ~ I am now working on some vintage valentines ones! And a sweet surprise in the mailbox yesterday!! This comes out february 1st! Get yours today at stampington .
