I'd pick grape, since purple is one of my wedding colors. They are pretty cool and would definitely add some va va voom to any site.
What a great idea, they're so gorgeous!
I'd have to pick the Peacock color because I've always loved the color blue and peacock especially because my grandfather (with whom I'm really close) used to raise them so tons and tons of my childhood memories are attached to peacocks when he would let me help him around his mini-farm. Now every time I see anything peacock, or even that color, it reminds me of him. I know it sounds extremely mushy, but hey, it's true.
Awesome! I love these. I'd pick sunshine, and hang them from the gazebo where we will have our ceremony. This color would look oh so perfect against the green grass, Chesapeake Bay, and navy blue bridesmaids dresses with their cheery yellow and orange flowers. Yum!
I actually was thinking of hanging big flower orbs there, until I saw what that would cost... and wanted to do something a bit more unique than paper lanterns. So this would be perfect!!
I would pick sunshine- it's so summery!
I am completely in love with the turquoise color! I was actually just racking my brain for an idea of something simple but with a pop of color to tie onto our ceremony chairs. I think the turquoise would be stupendous on the beach in the Keys where we're to be wed in October!
What a great giveaway! I'd pick grape because our colors are purple and gray. Thanks!! :)
I love the lemon! These would go great with the yellow brides maid dresses and outdoor spring ceremony we are planning for June. It would be great to add these to give color to our tables.
Peach, because it looks like ice cream and summer and happiness. All of which I could use a lot of (:
I would choose the aqua. They are so lovely looking. I think they would go well with my wedding colors.
Turquoise, though it's tough to choose - they're all so bright and pretty! I think they'd look pretty hanging from the trees at our picnic reception site. :)
I would choose the color cabernet. Even though we're doing purple as the main color for our wedding because our favorite colors are red and blue, my fiance is the one who likes red most and I'd like to have a little more of it represented in our decor. These would be a great addition to our tables. There's 80 guests, so I can use the extras to hang from the trees to add a little to our ceremony backdrop. That would be great!
Thanks for finding me Mouse! I'm super excited about this give away! These little cuties are a sure way to add flair to any event!
Cheers!
Heidi
October Hill
Oohh, ohhh....yellow and gray...
they are so pretty....
So cute! I'd choose lemon because they look like little suns, and of course that is one of the colours I've chosen to use.
I would probably do a mix of watermelon, scarlet and white to tie in all our colors. This is beautiful! What a wonderful giveaway, two thumbs up!
yay! what a cool giveaway. i'd pick grape, a) because i love purple, and b) because my bridesmaids are wearing a color called spiced wine, and the grape would work well.
Oooh, fun!! I'd pick sunshine since that's one of the main colors of our wedding!
Love these! Funky and fresh!
We are bringing nature inside for our wedding, so I would choose the "citrus green" dahlias.
Ooooh, I'm crossing my fingers! What a fun way to brighten up a table!
Oh I love dahlias! My bouquet is going to be all orange dahlias! The colors for my beach wedding this July are navy, lime and mandarin. So since all the flowers are already orange, I think the BLUEBERRY (navy) would really pop against the lime linens! They would stand out the way they are clearly meant to. And at the same time the would coordinate with the dahlias from my bouquet and all the table centerpieces (single dahlias in bud vases). What a wonderful talent you have! Thanks for such a great giveaway!
So glad I've found such a wonderful and fun resource to brighten my day as I browse the web :)
I would have to pick dahlias in a bright canary yellow. Our July wedding color palette will have the freshness of summer sprinkled throughout our table scapes. With ivory linens, bright green and white hydrangeas, navy napkins, I would love to see a slice of happiness on each table. We have a large venue and seating 400 guests. I would love to have a few dahlias on each table, carefully dispersed amongst votive candles.
These are beautiful. Since our wedding will be outside under the summer New Hampshire sky, I would love to see the flowers look like they were plucked from the gardens we're getting married in. Pinks, purples,cornflower blue...
Hello! I would LOVE to win this giveaway, because I was going to try to make something similar for my May wedding, but this would save me so much time (not to mention that mine would look like a 5 year old made them)! I would pick the aquamarine because it matches my bridesmaid dresses perfectly! Great giveaway!

The peacock color is my favorite color and is being featured prominently throughout my decor. I would have to pick the ivory though because they are so classic and sophisticated.
i'd pick the blueberry! although an apple green would also be excellent, if it were available. :)
Peacock would be perfect at my wedding! These would make such a wonderful addition to our decor
I love turquoise on anything, clothes, jewelry and now the Paper Dahlias. The wedding colors are blue, yellow and green. I could see placing a Paper Dahlia at each place setting with a light yellow napkin. Perfect!
I would want to span the full spectrum of ivory ->yellow -> orange ->red...because what would a DIY hindu/japanese/jewish wedding be without complete sensory overload?
plus we've already folded 1000 cranes in those colors. ;)
I love the turquoise color! These would be an awesome addition to our August wedding.
Those are gorgeous! They would be a wonderful accompaniment to any party! I love the scarlet ones to add a pop of color.
These are gorgeous! My wedding colors are orange and chocolate brown, so I think I'd go with the ivory flowers, because they really pop against the chocolate brown table lines in the photos on your Etsy site, and that's what color we're going with for the linens! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Blueberry is my color of choice. What a lovely addition this would make to my reception.
I'd love to have both lemon and purple! What a great way to brighten up the dinner table!! d.kantor@lycos.com
watermelon. Not only does the color appear true-to-name, but it makes my mouth water.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those paper dahlias. I'm having orange dahlias as my bouquets and boutonniers in my wedding!! The sunshine would go perfectly with my laid back, causual but elegant wedding reception at the beach. I have no centerpieces (can't afford them), so this would be the best alternative for me!!!
They just make me smile and they brighten up the table settings.
i would chose the aqua! definitely so pretty!
These are so beautiful. I love that they look a little whimsical but still really elegant. I would pick sunshine and lemon as we are having a sunset-themed wedding (yellow-orange-pink-red). These would really bring a splash of beautiful color to my table.
So nice! I would choose watermelon, so fresh and sweet!
i would love love the ivory ones! it would go perfectly with my ivory dress and white/ivory flowers for the reception!
Oooo these are so beautiful!! My honey and I are having an art deco reception at an auto museum. The turquoise dahlias would tie in the colors of the era and the cars perfectly!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL dahlias!!! :)
Thanks so much for the offer! We would put these at the place settings & hopefully our guests would enjoy them by putting them in their hair or lapel. We would love ivory because it goes with everything and is so elegant.
Beautiful! We're having an enchanted forest theme wedding, and I'd love the grape-colored dahlias;)
i'd pick grape to coordinate with the colors of the bridesmaids. this is such a cute idea - i love real dahilas, and these paper ones add quite a punch!
I would choose the peacock or aqua colored flowers. We are hoping to use lots of handmade, DIY details for our celebration and this would be a wonderful addition!
I'd pick either claret or cabernet or. We're having a fall wedding and those colors would match our scheme perfectly! I'd probably use them on on the place settings or on our guest book table.
This is such a great idea... I am trying to have as many hand-made items in my wedding as possible. I am having a water color themed wedding because my fiance bought me a blue sapphire engagement ring. I decide to use the ring as inspiration for the entire event. I think the flowers will be a wonderful touch to a spring wedding.
I would pick ivory - it's such a classic color!
What a fantastic give away! I love the paper flowers and would use them in my upcoming October rustic-chic inspired wedding on both the tables and in decor accents; like integrated with some vintage birdcages. My wedding inspiration has a large color palette so I would love a mix of colors: khaki, midnight blue, pale pink, and olive.

I love Ivory, it's simple, neutral, bridal and beautiful.
I'd pick sunshine, as I'm trying to have my colors echo the gloriousness of late summer in the southeast! I'd use them to supplement the paper flowers that I'm already making for my reception... fresh flowers just aren't in my budget. Hand crafting them is very unique and special, but it would be nice to have some help! :-)
I'd definitely pick the grape, because purple is one of my colors. I love these, they're so beautiful.
These are so cute! We are using orange dahlias in my bridesmaid's bouquets already and these would be a wonderful addition to the place settings during the reception to tie it into the bouquets. I would pick a mix of aqua, turquoise and sunshine since those are all the colors we are using for the wedding. Love it!
I have to say I would use the peacock dahlias in my August wedding! We love to travel, and are doing an international theme. Instead of a typical buffet, we are bringing in ethnic foods. (Greek, Indian, Mexican, Asain, and American). There are five food categories and five flowers- it would be perfect! Plus the peacock color would give it an ethnic vibe. alex_hedgpeth@hotmail.com
The ivory! I'm planning for all cream and ivory flowers with lots of greenery, and would love to have full, lush blooms in natural, garden-like arrangements. Sadly, full, lush blooms come with quite the full price, so this would be a great way to achieve a similar effect! Thanks!
Aqua would be the perfect accent to the long white board walk leading up to the tiny tree house were I will marry my sweetheart. so pick me, pick me :)
I'd definitely pick aqua as it is look refreshing with a clean white contract table setting. The aqua would POP and make a HUGE difference.
Love your work!
I love the Ivory! Our wedding is at an old restored theatre with tons of red and gold. We decided to stay nutural with out flowers to show off the space. These would give the added lushness to our meager flower budget!!
The paper dahlias are so beautiful. I would pick blueberry 20 because I'm planning to wear my blue suede boots with my flowing dress to add some western kick. My boots are exactly the same color!
WOW.. they are awesome!!!! I love the Juicy Watermelon Blooms! We are doing a summer wedding and it would be perfect. Plus, we are making a large donation to ALS research instead of favors, as my fiance's uncle died from ALS last year. It would be perfect to put on the plates with a note that a donation has been made in their honor. Love them! Thanks again for this contest!!
How cute! I'd go with either blueberry or sunshine, since they're closest to my wedding colors.
I love the peach, sunshine, and lemon colors. They are also beautiful and would look terrific :)
I love Dahlias! I'm hoping to have tons of them in my September wedding. I love the lemon or aqua colors. But really all of them are gawwwwgess! :)
I would choose Ivory... not the most colourful choice but these are so gorgeous I think they'd have great stand out no matter what colour you chose. I love paper flowers and have made a few that adorn the fireplace in my flat... not sure I'd be up to making 100 for my wedding though!
I would ask for some of each color-I am having an outdoor wedding on a farm that is filled with tons of old walnut trees and beautiful wild flowers. Because of all the gorgeous flowers around the property I have decided to not pick a color theme, but to use vintage floral patterns printed on the napkins, paper table runners, etc. and think that these paper flowers would go beautifully with my vintage floral theme! LOVE
Oooooo I would love to have them in peacock and sunshine. Those are our wedding colors. This would be a great way to add more pops of color to the wedding decor.
P.S. These are just lovely! Thanks for the amazing give away.
Sunshine! Our wedding is black & white with splashes of yellow.
They are so gorgeous!
I know it's cliche', but I'd have to pick the ivory ones! Our theme is very vintage and soft, and the white dahlias are so beautiful and would look so nice in our reception
I would go with the purple - great giveaway!
I would love to have a mix of turquoise and scarlet. We're getting married 4th of July weekend and these would really add a fun element to our decor! Soo pretty!
Meghan
I would love the Sunshine color ones for out gray, black, and yellow wedding.
I would pick the lemon yeallow! It matches with our color scheme of yellow, gray and peacock. I think it would look just beautiful.
I love Blueberry! My wedding color inspiration is Peach and Blueberry and I love the thought of that color as a paper accent! Thanks!
I'd pick Peacock. I love the color and we're using peacock feathers in our wedding decor. We're also using all silk and paper floral at our wedding.
How beautiful! I would pick yellow. Not only is it one of my wedding colors, but it's my favorite color. Yellow never ceases to make me happy. Yellow flowers, yellow corn on the cob, yellow dahlias! Smiles all around for this gal!
Que je les aime! I love dahlias.
I would definitely want the ivory-colored ones. I lived in France for a year and for my reception I am going for a modified Paris theme in muted colors with accents of black. I have a vintage-colored silk charmeuse wedding dress and the ivory dahlias would bring in a cream-colored loveliness to the tables.
I would pick ivory because it would go with our cream flowers and my ivory dress.
agadiee@aol.com
I'd choose the Scarlet, it's such a rich color and these little beauties would be a great addition to an outdoor wedding reception!
I'd pick Ivory.
There is going to be a lot of color at our wedding, and I think that these are very classy. They could provide a nice consistent color that pics up all of our accents.
Good luck to all!
I would pick Peacock. The colors for our wedding are silver and navy, and I think this color would really pop!
They are a great accent!! Hope I win, it's getting close to my wedding and have not won anything wedding related.
pretty! i think i'd choose peacock or ivory. i'm not really having set wedding colors but either color would really add to the space!
Peacock! No question! I just got engaged last week and it's all I can think about!
Jen
I would definitely pick blueberry! First of all, what a yummy sounding color! Second, my colors are bright yellow, navy/deep blue and pewter. These would be wonderful accents in a million different places in the ceremony/wedding. What beautiful creations!
I'd pick Ivory! I was thinking about making something like this myself, but this would save me so much time!
I woud go with the grape since my wedding colors include purple! Very cute touch do a table!
gingerbutler_@hotmail.com
I would go for the Sunshine yellow - my wedding colors are bold yellow and cobalt. What a fun giveaway! Thanks!
First let me say that not only is my wedding in October but dahlias are my very very favorite flower and are to be pretty much my whole bouquet. I would pick sunshine. It's one of my colors sure, a golden-y yellow. But on the great chance that I don't get any sun on my wedding day (in October, in the Northwest) then these sweet things should provide plenty.
SUNSHINE! Our wedding is going to be next March, and we live in Chicago. That means the weather could be anything, ANYTHING. We have to have our wedding before the growing season, my future buddy for life is a urban organic farmer, and so that means we are going to be inside keeping the cold away. We do not have wedding colors, we just want brightness and joy! Thanks.
I would choose the Lemon color. These would be an amazing win for me, as this past weekend I tried to make my own bouquet (i foolishly thought it'd be an easy task to make my bouquet,and do centerpieces because flowers just aren't really in our budget) however, it was the saddest bouquet I've ever laid eyes on! So I have come to terms that I just wont have flowers at my wedding, but what a nice little touch to the tables, like the photograph shows, to put paper dahlias at each place setting. I love it! :)
What a wonderful giveaway! I would pick sunshine or citrus green. Lovely decorations and dahlias are my favorite flower :)
i love the ivory. they would add a spectacular monocromatic punch to my table settings. fingers crossed....
fallon
Oh, I absolutely LOVE these! They're all beautiful, but the lemon ones would go perfectly with my bridesmaid's dresses. These would be perfect for our family portraits. We're planning on hanging things from trees and take pictures.
LOVE these!! I would have to pick the turquoise ones since it is one of my wedding colors and will reflect beautifully with my blue Mason jars that are going to be used throughout the wedding!!
Oh my goodness, those are darling! I'd love the Watermelon ones!
I can't decide between peacock and sunshine! I love them both...
I'd go with ivory. My colors are pomegranate and ivory. The scarlet would be stunning but it's a bit to red to match the pomegranate.
i would have to go with dark mint green. i have found the fabulous shoe clips that i have based my colors around. they are from B Poetic on esty. the green goes lovely with my black and white color scheme. i don't think i would use these on the table...i will hand them all over the room :) gosh can't wait!
I would choose orange, which is one of my wedding colors. This would go beautifully with my wedding style, as I'm using real dahlias already in my centerpieces. I'd love to use these on the backs of my chairs to give them a pop of color...or perhaps to adorn the pews at the wedding ceremony. Great giveaway!
I would choose lemon. We're having a bright, casual wedding with red, yellow, and light green. I think lemon would look neat on the red gingham tablecloths we're using. Thanks!
Although my wedding colors are a soft shade of pink and green, I would pick the Ivory, since it would add a soft accent color and not overpower the scene that we are trying to set.
I would have to go with AQUA. I love it and it's one of my wedding colors. Although I might do a mix of aqua and ivory to mix it up a little, maybe with a few scarlets thrown in.
I would most surely pick aqua. Not only are the bridesmaids' dresses in a lovely aqua/teal color, but it happens to be a favorite of my fiance and I, and would look lovely in our apartment. These paper dahlias are so lovely! I wish I had time to craft them myself.
Wow I love these! I'd pick Sunshine, as it's one of our colors. We could use the 100 for both the place setting and to hang along the beams in our courtyard!
These are absolutely beautiful and great for me (the budget bride). I would choose the ivory because it would stand out amongst the green and stone of the winery where we are having our reception.
Orange! We're doing a cobalt blue, leaf green, and orange theme, and these would add the prettiest look for our tables. :)
Ivory for sure. The examples of the chocolate brown w/ the Ivory napkin rings & white flowers are just stunning!
Oops clicked the wrong thing.. the Anonymous comment above re: the Ivory flowers was me! :)
Pretty Giveaway! I would choose watermelon because that's one of our wedding colors. We having watermelon, cream & grey for our beach wedding. I would definitely use these for napkin decorations. It would look absolutely beautiful with our candlelight centerpiece.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I'd go with the Sunshine! Would add a little brightness to our tables and go with our orange color scheme.
shine for me, please! We're getting married in August, the flowers will be dahlias, and our colours are raspberry, apricot and cerulean. These paper beauties would be a perfect touch.
We were going to make our own paper flowers but I'm just not that crafty. I would select the ivory, we have wide black ribbons draping over the backs of the chairs and a narrow polka dot ribbon in the center. The paper flowers would be the perfect final fun touch. Thank you so much for this giveaway.
So fun! Gorgeous blooms without the expense! I'd choose grape, to compliment our "berries" theme. :-)
How fun - these would look great at each place setting. I would pick them in peacock - matches our bridesmaid dresses almost perfectly.
I think I would have to do a choose your own color, and go with boring white! This would be awesome because I could decorate with them and then loan them to my best friend who is getting married the month after me! We are trying to go in together on everything we can!

I would pick light pink, then purchase 50 peach and 50 ivory. My colors are navy, ivory, and various pinks/corals/peaches. I think these would really pop on my navy blue linens!
I would choose lemon. We are having a late summer wedding with dahlias as the main floral element, and our colors are a mix of light pinks, yellows, and oranges.
Ivory would be my choice, and I'd hang them from the ceiling with branches!
I would have to go with sunshine. So fresh and pretty. Plus, I have never been able to wear yellow but I love it so it would be great to incorporate it into my August wedding!
Wow! What a great giveaway! These flowers are absolutly gorgeous! I would love to have these dalias in peacock blue. I know they would look stunning!
Wow these are so perfect! My wedding flowers are dahlias. We are going to have red ones in the bouquets and centerpieces, so I would choose Turquoise for the place settings! These are so cute!
I love these - I'd actually use them to tie to the sides of the chairs for our ceremony. My venue is really DIY and so I need help defining the "aisle" I'll be walking down. Prefer these to any froufrou bows or whatnot. These gorgeous dahlias (in ivory) would add a wonderful little touch of beauty to our ceremony and venue!
What a great idea! I would pick the ivory to compliment our peach napkins. They would certainly make our tablescape really pop!
hmmmm...all the colors are so yummy. i think i would pick an array of ivory, yellow and sunshine because i am doing a mix of different shades of yellow. love the flowers, they are b e a u t i f u l!
My wedding is Peacock themed, so you can imagine my excitement as I discovered the deep blue ones dubbed "peacock." Brilliant!
i'd pick the turquoise ones. they would be wonderful for my fiesta wedding! ay! ay! AY!
I LOVE these! I saw them on ETSY awhile back and am purchasing them in Lemon for my Bridal Shower! I would be so lucky to win - I'm loving the IVORY for my wedding. It is taking place in a vineyard with sages/browns/ivory details. These would be such a great way to dress up the tables! Thank you!
These are so Perfect!!!
I Would choice these in the 4 shades of Blues for my beach wedding :)
****AQUA****
**TURQUOISE**
***PEAKCOCK***
***BLUEBERRY***
My bridesmaids are wearing 4 shades of blue and these would tie in wonderfully to my other decor :)
I would pick Peacock, this is one of my colors for my Sept wedding. We are using green, blue, peacock feathers, and hints of natural colors. This would add a finishing touch to our decor. I want everyone that walks into my wedding to see my personality and this would for sure accomplish it.
Great idea!
I'd choose sunshine. they'd be so perfect in our wedding as we're trying to be really conscious of our waste...and paper flowers would be so fun!
