Like last week’s Handmade Find, this week’s Southern Spotting is an adorable felt creation! Photographer Claire Marika shared the how-to for each of the blooms in the felt bouquet. Of course, being Southern-lovers, we fell hardest for the dainty gardenia!

Even if you want real blooms for your wedding day bouquet, felt substitutes could be perfect for something to carry down the aisle at your rehearsal, or even for your groom’s boutonniere!

See the full shoot here and the DIY instructions (with PDF template!) on the Bride’s Cafe here.
