I found some lovely, paper, millinery flowers over at Etsy so of course I had to join the site and pick up some. My first purchase arrived today and I am thrilled... white roses from Shar Bear Crafts:
Here is a link to their Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SharBearCrafts
Here is the product link of anyone else wants to pick up some: http://www.etsy.com/listing/105434013/large-white-paper-flowers-6-pieces-4cm
I really should have picked up a few more. I know that I will think of a million things to use these for and I only purchased one bunch. :(

12/1/2012 Update - My velvet leaves and more paper flowers came in the mail on Friday. I am so lucky. I tacked them on with pins in about 15 minutes and was ready to walk out the door with my finished bonnet on my head. The pics are posted here: http://jessicadeandesign.blogspot.com/2012/12/gold-silk-bonnet.html
As for the velvet leaves, I highly recommend them:

The other flowers that I received are nice but I can't really recommend them because of all of the glue drips and things. They showed in the image, so there are no hard feelings toward the seller. Since there were 3 dozen in an order, I just picked out the best ones to use.
Here is an image of the flowers:
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I didn't get my silk lace in time to add it to my bonnet. Instead, I used some navy silk organza that I picked up from that $5 sale a few months ago. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. :) Do jump over and see the pictures in this post: http://jessicadeandesign.blogspot.com/2012/12/gold-silk-bonnet.html
I'd love to hear who you get your millinery flowers from. Feel free to comment with your suggestions. :D
