with the help and talent of a crafty friend, trial #2 was a success. we exnayed the 2-ply; she wrapped the paper much tighter and secured the shape with a little glue gun action...and it worked. srsly.
so i'm happy to tell you that the paper flowers are a go and i will be using the following three shades of purple. 
do you likey.
and here's a group shot of the first 30 flowers or so:
30 flowers took about 1.5 hours. not bad. and by the end of the 1.5 hours, we had an assembly line set up. i was drawing and cutting the spirals and she was rolling and gluing the flowers. you know. specialization.
this has now become a realistic project. one that i like and one that i can finish before the wedding. like a month in advance. uberly pleased to say the least. *happy sigh*
