About Me

Hi! I’m Christina Funderburgh, the owner and founder of Fleur-ish Paper Flower Design!

I have always had a passion for art and creating beautiful things that bring joy to others. As a crafter and artist from a young age, I have used nearly every medium under the sun to paint, sculpt, and make jewelry. It was that passion for creating that led me to obtain a bachelor’s degree in multimedia design.

Shortly after graduation, I got engaged and dove head-first into wedding planning. The sticker shock of wedding flowers paired with my desire for DIY flare pushed me towards making my own wedding flowers out of pearlized paper and book pages. They were a massive hit at the wedding and prompted a friend to commission me to make a book page bouquet for her upcoming wedding.

This sparked something in me—the desire to create long-lasting keepsakes that would never wilt. Previously, I would rarely buy flowers for my home and urged others not to purchase flowers for me as they would wilt so fast, and that decay always made me a little sad. I’ve never particularly had a green thumb, but by making paper flowers, I can enjoy them all year round with zero maintenance.

After a year and a half of working with text-weight paper, I wanted to make something more true-to-life, and that is what drew me to crepe paper. The shapes and colors that can be achieved with this paper are truly limitless and a wonder to behold. My works are crafted from premium European crepe paper and fine art mediums. From single stem flowers and home décor pieces to bouquets and full floral arrangements, these make great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, housewarming, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and so much more! Please reach out via my Contact page, Facebook, or Instagram if you have a special request or a custom order.

I am genuinely inspired by the paper florist community, from the fantastic botanical art they create, to how encouraging they are with others learning the craft. As my way of giving back to the community that fostered the growth of my skills, I am an Admin for The Paper Greenhouse Facebook Group as their Resource Guru. If you are a paper florist who is not a part of this thriving community yet, or someone interested in learning the craft, join the group and look around. There is an absolute wealth of knowledge available to you from these incredible artists!
