Kanzashi in Bloom by Diane Gilleland

What is Kanzashi?

The term Kanzashi refers to elaborate hair ornaments worn by women in Japan. They originated around 1600. Check out wikipedia for more information.

This book is filled with fabric folding techniques to create the basic flower which can then be turned into many many different projects. Including jewelry and much much more. You are only going to be limited by your imagination.

The photos are amazing and you are left digging around in your fabric stash for something to get started with.

Free Printable Wedding Coloring Pages for Kids – Inclusive and Fun

Planning a wedding and inviting little ones? Oh, friend… I’ve been there. Between heartfelt speeches, late-night dinners, and sugar-fuelled dance floors, keeping kids entertained (and not tugging at tablecloths or sliding under chairs) is no small feat. Weddings are magical, but let’s be honest—they can feel like a marathon for little guests with short attention spans and early bedtimes.

That’s where these free printable wedding coloring pages for kids come in—like quiet little heroes in crayon form. Think of them as your secret weapon for keeping small hands busy and little minds engaged. They’re sweet, easy to print, and totally wedding-appropriate with charming designs and just enough detail to delight kids of all ages.

Whether you’re planning a kid-friendly wedding or just have a few special little guests attending, these printable pages are perfect for wedding activity bags, the kids’ table, or even just having a few on standby near the guest book or lounge area. Trust me, a box of crayons and a cute coloring sheet can buy you at least enough time to enjoy a slice of cake before it melts.

And because love is beautifully diverse, I’ve created a mix of couple pairings—so you’ll find not only a classic bride and groom, but also a bride and bride and groom and groom version too. Because love deserves to be seen, shared, and celebrated in every form.

Each page is full of joy, designed with care, and honestly… I’ve caught more than one adult sneaking in a bit of coloring time. (You’re in a no-judgment zone here—I may or may not have done the same after one too many wedding cupcakes.)

These printable wedding coloring pages are a small but thoughtful way to make your celebration more inclusive, more joyful, and a little bit calmer for the tiny guests who are along for the ride.
