From Centerpieces to Showstoppers: How a Paper Flower Dress Stole the Spotlight

Ah, the glamorous world of wedding planning and PR stunts! Allow me to share the tale of how my paper flower dress stole the spotlight at the Red Bank River Center's annual Wedding Walk.

For years I had fun creating my paper flower dress centerpieces. Then inspiration struck during a caffeine-fueled brainstorming session: "What if we made a life-size paper flower dress?"

Here's where things take a fabulous turn. Cassie, our ever enthusiastic PR rep from Social Sidekick, happened to be the same size as the mannequin. Naturally, we made her try it on.

The fit was perfect, and the effect was magical. We scheduled a photo shoot with the talented Matt Yee, capturing Cassie posing in the white paper flower creation.

The pièce de résistance? LittleThings.com discovered our paper flower dress and invited us to do a live stream.

The glamorous Roxy Garrity wore the dress on camera, bringing my paper dress to a wider audience. Who knew that a simple idea and some adventurous spirit could lead to such fun, laughter, and a touch of crafting magic? 

The legend of the paper flower dress lives on, a testament to what can happen when you prioritize the fun in life. Big thanks to Cassie for always saying yes to unknown adventures.
