As flowers as decoration/embellisment of costume first became fashionable in 18th century i am almost certain that it started to be made at convents in Italy same time
However i am not an expert.
In my danish bible Moden i 1700 årene, it is said that flowers of feathers and silk started to be made in Italy

Hi,

Does anyone know the history of fabric/paper flowers.  How early they
were made?

Thanks if you have any information.  Or ideas of how to look to find
what I want.

Happy Holidays :)
