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! 

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. 

The Snow Bride

Thanks for letting me rant about the snow yesterday. I'm much better today! We had a few hours of glorious sunshine, although more snow is possible later today. But that's not what this post is about! 

May I present to you the Winter Snow Bride!

Its not everyday or year, that you can photograph wedding pictures in the snow, all while staying home in Texas. 

I quickly set up my dress form outside and grabbed this white and ivory burlap and lace bouquet  (from my ready to ship inventory) and snapped a few pictures.

Of course, this keepsake bouquet would be great for a wedding any time of the year. 

Hope you are all staying warm and dry. I'm off to deliver a wreath and make a trip into town, Have a great day yall! 

Made in America - Red, White, and Blue Burlap Bouquets

This week I have been working on Stephanie's Red, White, and Blue Burlap Bouquets for her upcoming Memorial Day Wedding. 

Someone once ask me where I purchased the roses in my arrangements and I replied that each flower is hand made by me. There are a few occasions where I purchase pre-made flowers, although the vast majority of all my bouquets are completely hand made, right here in Texas, USA. 

I am loving this combination of rustic red, white, and navy, along with tan burlap! Very Rustic, Americana. Makes me remember my days growing up and carrying Ol' Glory at Rodeo Grand Entries. I was always honored to be horse back, carrying the American flag while the Star Spangled banner was playing.

 The bridal and bridesmaid bouquets.

 Corsages for the mothers of the bride and groom.

The groom had a white rose, with red and blue accents, while the rest of the wedding party had red rose boutonnieres. 

I'm thankful for customers who support Hand Made in America products! Now, I'm off to box up everything and get Stephanie's order shipped out today. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Also, don't forget, Thursday is the last day of my 4th anniversary sale. (see previous post for more information.)

Turquoise and Yellow Burlap and Lace Weddings

 I recently had two custom orders for turquoise and yellow burlap bouquets. The first wedding was for butter yellow and turquoise bouquets, while the second wedding was a sunnier, brighter yellow burlap with bling and feathers.

 The first bouquet was based on this pink and white bridal bouquet that I made last year, with lots of lace, doilies, bling and pearls, along with burlap roses.

 The bridesmaids carried bouquets of yellow and tan along with turquoise and tan burlap roses and ivory lace.

 The weather was cold and damp, so I set up my photo shoot in the hay barn, using this old sewing machine table.

 This next wedding had several pieces. Here is a group shot of all the sunny yellow and turquoise. It sure cheered me up to work on all the yellow, while it was so cold and dreary outdoors.

 The bridal and toss bouquet had feathers and bling, while the bridesmaid bouquets had pearl accents.

The bride envisioned 2 smaller roses in turquoise and yellow and I helped bring her vision to life for all the men in the wedding party.

 This was on of the wrist corsages from her order. See the chill bumps on my arm? I told you it was cold!

I'm always thankful to work with wonderful customers and wish all the families the best as the prepare for their upcoming wedding and new marriage.
