Heather's Burlap and Lace Wedding Bouquets

Heather emailed me today with pictures of her Burlap and Lace Wedding Bouquets. Her order was one of the first custom wedding orders I did last year. I get excited when I get to see the creative ways the bouquets are photographed and all the places my creations get to go.

 

 

We used tulle to satisfy Heather's desire to have shades of purple incorporated with the tan, chocolate, and cream burlap. Ivory lace and pearl accents were also included in the bouquets. 

The rustic, elegant, outdoor ceremony was held on a farm at the edge of the woods last September.

The beautiful bride and bridesmaids! I love the plum dresses against the green trees 

Thank you Heather for sending me pictures of your wedding and giving me creative free reign to design your wedding bouquets! You were a pleasure to work with! I wish you and your husband many years of happiness together.

I was featured at Handmade in TX!

Cindi from Handmade in TX, showcases arts and crafts handmade from all over the state Texas.

I recently came across Cindi through Twitter and began following her blog recently. She lets you link up your etsy store and products for sale that are made by Texas artisans. I love the idea of her blog and supporting the residents of our state. What could be better than supporting fellow Texans and their creativity?

 Last week I linked up my Western Lariat Rope Wreath with Pheasant Feathers  to Lonestar Showcase #11. I recently listed this item for sale in my etsy store and was excited this week that Cindi picked my rope wreath as one of her favorite 3 items in the showcase!

Ever since I was in Floral Design in my high school ag class, I have been making rope wreaths. You see, my dad, brother, and I were all team ropers and we always had used ropes laying around. I remember the first rope wreath I made with yellow sunflowers that hung on my bedroom door. Soon after I was making a rope wreath for our FFA banquet decorations and have had a rope wreath in my house ever since.  I've made rope wreaths for wedding presents and have made several "Little Cowboy" wreaths for baby shower gifts as well. A few years back, I sold the wreaths in a local western store, but a change of management didn't allow me to continue with consignments.

I want to say THANK YOU to Cindi for all of your efforts to showcase Texas Artist and for featuring my

Lariat Rope Wreath. You made my day!

If yall get a chance, stop by Handmade in TX to see all the showcased items!
