New Rustic Wedding Bouquets and Gypsy Boho Ankle Boots

I recently added a few new and one of a kind rustic wedding bouquets to my shop. All of the bouquets pictured are currently in stock and  ready to ship (usually next business day after purchase.) 

First up is a rustic tan, chocolate brown and creamy white burlap bouquet. Vintage style hydrangea blooms are tucked among the roses, along with tufts of lace. 

Vintage french lace is layered over the handle of the bouquet holder. 

True Timber Snowfall Camo Satin fabric flowers are the focal point of this bridal bouquet, perfect for the elegant, camo, outdoors / hunting themed wedding. The rustic, woodsy bouquet has tan and brown burlap roses, pearl accents  and  white lace. When a customer requested this snowfall camo bouquet with turquoise roses, I had to admit that I had never seen the white camouflage before.

Boots and Bouquets! Along with the new bouquets, I created two pair of ankle boots with gypsy, boho boot cuffs. I repurposed black cowgirl boots into ankle boots and then added the denim and lace cuff, hand-cut leather fringe and upcycled leather belts. 

Very vintage, shabby chic lace flowers, burlap roses and brooches create this one of a kind bouquet. A natural color scheme is perfect for your vintage inspired wedding.

One of the most requested color combinations in my shop - this turquoise burlap bouquet is ready to ship, without having to wait for a custom bouquet.

This is the first pair of ankle boots that I made from a pair of black ostrich boots. I found the boots at a sale and give them a makeover. I had a hard time deciding if I should list the boots or not, because I sort of want to keep them for myself! 

I can always recreate similar bouquets or coordinating bridesmaid bouquets and boutonnieres for the men, along with corsages and head bands. Of course, there may have to be some substitutions for the vintage lace and jewels. Please message me through etsy with any questions or for custom order request.  (Sometimes I don't get blog comment notifications, so please message through etsy or send a direct email to me.)

Vanessa, My New Assistant and Model!

Let me introduce you to my new assistant and headband model! Say Hello to Vanessa!
She's having fun wearing some new gypsy, boho chic lace headbands!

I was in need of a better way to display my hair pieces for taking shop pictures. Headbands are not near as cute when displayed on a flat board and I don't have anyone that can model for me, at any given moment.

She started out as an U-G-L-Y styrofoam head from Hobby Lobby. 

Then she got a mod podged makeover, with old book pages from The Three Musketeers.

She then decided she was going with the bald and beautiful look, but quickly decided she needed hair, to help perform her job better! So I found a cheap wig on ebay for her. 

Because hair clips and birdcage veil hair combs need hair to attach to. 

Now, for a funny story about how Vanessa got her name! She was sitting on my sewing table one evening. I was in the living room and Jeff opened the door to the workroom. It was dark, he flipped on the light and I heard a gasp and "Vanessa, you scared me!" 

It wasn't the first time she scared him either! He really thinks I should paint her facial features on her, but I don't want to. I've seen some with painted faces and those are way more scary to me. 

Anywho, I like her the way she is now and don't find her scary.  I think the words all over her face are kind of like the typical woman's mind at any given point. We have jumbled thoughts and ideas going in every different direction at once. (Or at least I do!) 

I'm happy with Vanessa and how she's helped display my headbands and clips, so I'm sure you will see her around from time to time. I'm actually kind of jealous of her wavy hair. My hair is always so straight and even the beauticians have give up on trying to get it to curl.

All of the hair pieces are currently available in my shop and don't forget about the Summer Sale happening now on select ready to ship inventory. 

 Y'all please share some love with Vanessa and tell her you don't think she's scary and let her know if you think she's just fine without big eyes and lips! 

New Brooch Bouquets, Headbands and Wildflowers

The last few weeks have seemed like a whirlwind of events and happenings going on. I was away from the studio aka the "burlap factory" for several days this week and was excited and motivated to get back to work this weekend! There are a few new wedding bouquets with brooches, vintage lace flowers and burlap roses, along with several styles of rustic, boho headbands now available for immediate shipping. 

All the new items are one of a kind arrangements. It's a fun scavenger hunt gathering unique brooches, vintage jewelry pieces and vintage lace, so no two items are just alike! Neutral cream, white and tan colors comprise the first bouquet along with gold and pearl toned jewels. 

I've gathered a collection of turquoise / aqua / pool blue jewelry pieces to include in this brooch bouquet.

There's also small turquoise crotchet lace flowers with pearl centers in the bouquet. 

Several styles of vintage ivory lace flowers are tucked among the burlap roses and jewels. 

Another new set of items is these rustic, boho chic headbands! I really need a model to display the hair pieces. Each one is attached to a long lace ribbon and can be tied to your desired fit. Some have birdcage veil material, feathers, pearls, ribbon roses and of course lots of vintage lace and bling. There's also a hidden piece of blue lace on the back side of the light colored head bands, so you will have your Something Blue for your wedding day. 

The wildflowers have been gorgeous the last couple weeks and I can't help but snap a few pictures while I'm out and about, so I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pics. 

Always Radiate Sunshine! Have a great week y'all!
