To get to know the masterminds behind these captivating creations better, we conducted a delightful Q&A session with them. Discover all the fascinating insights below!
What is your favorite paper to work with?
We like to work with papers within the range of 80# text weight to 90# cardstock. We’ve discovered that these weights offer a delightful balance between durability and elegance. We tend to find a wider variety of captivating colors and finishes in thinner paperweights, which adds a touch of delicacy and enhance the overall beauty of our flower walls.
What is your favorite paper color?
We often gravitate towards subtle whites, creams, taupe, and pinks. These timeless shades provide the foundation for our designs, They’re versatile and adaptable.
Early on in our exploration of different colors and textures, we came across Stardream Metallics in Rose Quartz on paperpapers.com. The moment I saw this gorgeous pink shimmer paper and crafted it into a flower, my jaw dropped. Instantly, I knew it was a color we must highlight. Rose Quartz was the inspiration to create even more stunning paper flower walls.
You can see Rose Quartz roses use in our “Juliette” wall, next to another Stardream Metallics striking, dark pink shimmer Azalea found on paperpapers.com.
What inspired you to get into this business?
As cliché as it may sound, it all started with a dream! I had a recurring dream where I was crafting beautiful paper flowers alongside my Mom, specifically for my now sister-in-law’s bridal shower. I felt an overwhelming determination to create something truly special for her, a heartfelt gesture to welcome her into our family. Initially, my Mom thought the idea was a bit crazy, after all, we would need to make about 120 roses (we needed about 200) plus a frame that would hold the weight without being visible. But eventually, when we began making the roses, she wholeheartedly embraced it. From that moment on, our business has flourished as a successful venture, driven by the bond between a mother and daughter.
What has been the most rewarding aspect of your business so far?
Being able to work closely with our clients and bring their visions to life through our work is an immensely fulfilling experience. It brings us great joy to exceed their expectations and witness the delight they experience when their dreams materialize.
New York Paper Flowers is immensely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the beauty and elegance of every event we are part of. It is our pleasure to bring a touch of artistry and sophistication to these special occasions.
Or anything else that you would like to share with us?
We encourage anyone who has the desire to explore the art of paper to take the leap and dive right in! Our own journey began with the pursuit of creating flawless perfect roses, but we soon discovered that the true beauty lies in the uniqueness of each cut. Paper as a medium offers incredible possibilities and potential. Embrace the freedom to experiment, let your creativity flow, and accept the beauty that emerges from the variations in every piece. Remember, the world of paper flower walls is a canvas waiting to be transformed, and the possibilities are truly endless.
