Our Most Dramatic Flower Yet!

Ok, that’s probably not true. We have other dramatic flowers and wreaths! But if you’ve ever watched the Bachelor or Bachelorette show, you’ll get the joke.

Anyway, we call the Queen of the Night lily a dark and dramatic flower because of its deep purplish red, almost black petals. To recreate this color for our paper Queen of the Night lilies, our design Meagan used our extra fine crepe paper in aubergine and applied a black painting pastel to the petals and the leaves. She also layered in a few black feathers and added some gorgeous copper accents, which really make these flowers shine.

So, yes, the colors are what make these crepe paper Queen of the Night lilies a good one to keep out during fall and winter. Also, if you have a pet, this is a great flower to make out of paper since the real version is highly toxic to both cats and dogs.
