Customer Wedding Pictures!

Janet was a recent wedding customer and we created a custom burlap bouquet for her.and boutonnieres for the men in the wedding party. She wanted a turquoise burlap bridal bouquet with something flowy and draping out of it. We discussed ideas and we decided on adding cascading greenery to the bouquet. Last week, she sent me a few pictures from their California wedding! 

 Congratulations to the Bride and Groom! Sending my Congratulations and best wishes for many happy years to come! Thank you for letting me have a small part of your wedding day!

Now, Even Easier to Order Custom Bouquets!

I wanted to share with you a couple of updates, that now make it easier than ever to order custom burlap and lace wedding bouquets! 

First off, the most popular bouquets in my shop have new "variations" meaning from a drop down menu, you can choose different size bouquets. For example, if you need one bridal bouquet and 4 small matching bridesmaid bouquets, you can do that all from one listing. Or maybe you need matching boutonnieres, you can add them as well, or maybe you need a toss bouquet, as well. If you like the bouquets as pictured, there's no need to message me first for a custom listing to get the additional items. From a separate drop down menu, choose if you want white or ivory lace and add to your cart. The bouquets are still made to order and I send pictures for your approval, before shipping. 

Custom orders are always welcome and if you want to make color changes, that's no problem and you can message me for those options. I will note, sometimes the shipping calculator over estimates shipping (it thinks each item ships in a separate box, instead of combined shipping). If this appears to be the case, you can either message me for a better shipping price or I will refund the overages. This is a new feature I have been rolling out this month, so I'm still tweaking a few details. So far everyone seems to love this option though! 

Second, Etsy now offers Guest Checkout, so you don't have to sign up for an etsy account. 

I will admit, having the account is much easier for us to communicate and you get shipping notifications, but its not a requirement. Recently, I had a bride message me about a custom order, but her aunt was going to pay for her wedding flowers. The listing was in the bride's name, but the aunt was able to purchase as a guest without having to sign up with etsy. 

The following pictures are examples of the popular bouquets that have the new variations available-

 This set shows the small, medium, and bridal bouquets for size comparison.

 Here's the "jade" aka light turquoise / aqua bouquets and again this shows the bridal, medium, and small size bouquets.

More bouquets have the option to choose different sizes. (There's also some new, ready to ship bouquets added recently and I'll be previewing them here soon.) I hope this added convenience helps you out. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want something different! I am here to help you out and take the stress out of your wedding planning! 

Little Mermaid meets Burlap and Lace

The theme for this wedding is "Little Mermaid meets Burlap and Lace". 

She has gorgeous red mermaid hair and the groom is a boots and jeans guy and together they participate in trap shooting gun competitions. The weddings colors are red, mint, tan and cream, with ivory lace. The bride to be chose the "jade" burlap, as she thought it was closest to her chosen shade of mint. Each wedding package can be customized  to reflect the couples color, theme, personalities, interest and of course number of attendants, etc.

As we discussed the details and ideas of her wedding, she ask if I was able to make shotgun shell boutonnieres and she nearly cried when I said yes. The groom really wanted the shotgun shell bouts, but she didn't see any in my shop. From time to time, I do have request for them and was happy to make them. My nephews were happy to contribute shells to the cause! I went to take their senior / family pictures last week and there was lots of skeet shooting involved and I snatched up all the empty shells from them! They also promised to save me more and get me more colors of shells. (Currently I have red, yellow and a few black.) The boys participate in the 4-H shotgun competitions, were they just placed 1st and 4th in their divisions.

I certainly hope we get to see pictures after the wedding! I know it will be a gorgeous event and I can wait to see how they pull it all together! 

In the Rear View Mirror

Wow! Looking in the rear view mirror, February was a very busy month! Now this picture was actually taken in December when we did not have ice and my truck was acting crazy, but February did have snow and ice. February started out with my 4 year shop anniversary and ended with lots of burlap and lace wedding bouquets shipped out to brides across the world! 

There was rustic red, white, and navy blue bouquets,

pin on corsages, 

and boutonnieres.

A sunflower, burlap rose, and pheasant feather bouquet. 

I loved these bridesmaid bouquets - A single sunflower, surrounded by burlap roses. 

A white silk flower bouquet with  roses, callas, and babies breath. 

A small turquoise and red burlap bouquet and turquoise boutonnieres headed to College Station. 

Chris had a sage green, tan, and brown order.

The flower girls are going to carry these kissing balls, covered in miniature roses. 

Wristlets for the moms (Look at those goose bumps - it was cold modeling them!)

and boutonnieres for the men in the wedding party.

I've made three of these burlap wreaths this month and delivered them all locally. Two of them were placed on an easel and delivered to the funeral home, with the families having a wreath to take home after the service.

I also delivered this set of Mason Jar Lights to a bride to be, to use as decorations for her wedding next week. 

A rustic red and shades of brown comprised these bouquets. This wedding is going to have a Crawfish Boil theme! 

A bridal bouquet with tan, brown, and ivory roses and lace complimented by

these bridesmaid bouquets. The bridesmaids are wearing teal and the bride wanted to make sure her bouquets didn't clash with the dresses and would stand out. 

This color scheme was also used on the mother's wrist corsages. many times, the mother of the bride and groom don't pick out there dress till a week or so before the wedding, so the neutral colors are less likely to clash with her dress.

The navy bouquet is en route to Italy now.

Jade and Coral is always a pretty, springy combo! 

And then I got my dress form! To say that I love it, is an understatement. I'm so excited about the photo opportunities with the form and the vintage lace wedding dress. Delaney ordered more pieces to match her previous order, including a bridesmaid bouquet, 3 boutonnieres and a corsage in turquoise and yellow.

Lavender and purple has became popular this month and March will include several bouquets in the color scheme. These purple bouquets are on an International flight for Petra's Canadian wedding later this year.

Lavender burlap rose bouts for the guys. 

Last, but not least, the ever popular turquoise bouquet. Isn't my girl pretty sitting there in the glamper? :)

I've probably missed a few pictures...

 I'm so thankful for everyone who has ordered from me and keeping me busy! I appreciate each and everyone's order, large or small. I send my best wishes out to everyone as they are preparing for the wedding day or to the one's who are mourning the loss of a loved one, I send my sympathies. 

I look forward to helping future bride's prepare for one of the most special days of their lives. If there is any way I can help you, please let me know, You can contact me through email or on etsy and we can discuss your ideas and needs.
