Rustic Burlap and Lace Wedding Bouquets

I thought I would share a few recent wedding bouquets I've made for several brides-to-be and a few ready to ship bouquets I've added to my shop recently. I'm already getting several request for 2019 weddings and always look forward to helping with your wedding plans! 

The first one has one burlap roses, ivory lace, white feathers, and pearl accents. One of my favorites - It's been a while since I had a request for this bouquet.

The creamy white colors are always elegant for the bride to carry and can match any color scheme. The bouquet below is a new and "ready to ship" bouquet. It usually ships out same or next business day, so you can get it quickly. It features an assortment of flowers and textures including elegant satin flowers with vintage jewelry / brooches, rustic burlap roses, silk roses, lace flowers, heather, and organic style greenery cascading out of the bouquet...rustic, vintage, glam! 

 Always a favorite - turquoise burlap bridal bouquet.

 This is a toss bouquet and two wristlet corsages made for the mother of bride and groom to wear for the wedding.

Of course, we can't forget the guys boutonnieres! For this wedding, the groom and best man are getting a two rose boutonniere and the rest of the groomsmen will have the turquoise single rose boutonnieres. 

Here's a variation of the turquoise burlap bouquet with a natural organic style greenery flowing from the arrangement. Each boutonniere had a green leaf added to it as well. 

For the camo weddings - this bridal bouquet has camo, orange, tan, and chocolate brown burlap roses and lace. 

Two camo toss size bouquets that the bridesmaids will carry.

 So I'm already thinking fall and lots of you are in the planning stages for autumn weddings. This fall bouquet is a new "ready to ship" bouquet that is waiting for you in my etsy shop. This arrangement has rich colors and textures with sunflowers, mums, fall daisies, leaves burlap roses, lace, and pheasant feathers.

The navy burlap and lace bouquet continues to be a favorite of many brides! This is the bridal and toss size bouquets.

 The next two pictures show additional sizes of the bouquets. This shows two medium size bouquets - often chosen for maid / matron of honor or for a smaller version of the bridal bouquet. This size does come with a lace collar, similar to the bridal size (smaller bouquets do not have the lace collar unless specifically requested.) 
 This is a small size bridesmaid bouquet and boutonnieres. The groom will wear the white rose bout and the groomsmen will have the navy ones.

With over 40 colors of burlap in stock, the color combinations are endless!

 I love to help create bouquets for your wedding - whether its one of the popular color combinations or working with you to create custom one of a kind arrangements. Send me a message and we can discuss your wedding ideas! Not on etsy - guest checkout is available or you can send me an email (link on sidebar) or message on Facebook.

Martina and Matteo's Italian Wedding!

Martina shared a few snap shots from her recent wedding with me! She ordered the burlap bouquet and boutonniere in February and her wedding was this past weekend. 

She wrote to me today and said:

Dear Janice,

Saturday I finally opened the box with the bouquets you created. They were the most beautiful bouquets I have ever seen. My wedding has been special thanks also to the these perfect items. Thanks a lot, it meant really a lot.

You'll be forever in my heart!

Martina

Martina and Matteo met while they were in high school together in Torino, Italy and 11 years later, they decided to get married at the Antico Borgo Monchiero! 

It's always exciting to get pictures from customers and be able to be a part of their special days, a little more so, when its from another country! Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your wedding and sharing your pictures with me. Congratulations and best wishes for many years of love and happiness together! 

Martina carried a medium size bridal bouquet with navy, wine, white, and grey burlap roses and white lace.
Matteo had a wine burlap rose boutonniere.

The Month of Navy Blue

In the last couple of weeks, I've made and shipped items to four countries! Now that's not an every day occurance (and my shipping bill this month will be crazy), but it is exciting to think about my handmade items being delivered to places all across the globe. 

For this girl who often stresses over her business and struggles with self confidence, I'm so thankful for everyone who puts their trust in me and let's me be a part of your weddings, decorate your events, homes, or  wears something I have created. Y'all are the best! I think about my small home based business, located on the back roads, outside a small country town and through the power of the internet (thank goodness my data is working again) I can connect to people all over the world. It really is amazing!

Navy burlap has been the most popular color this month! Almost every order has navy in it, although there have been several different color combinations. This red, tan, and navy bridal bouquet with rhinestones and pearls is on its way to Canada. 

Navy, wine, grey, and white bouquets are Italy bound. I'm also seeing more request for grey burlap included in bouquets.

Navy with white lace has been the thing lately. Usually it's ivory lace 90% of the time, so February was a flip flop on that scenario. 

Now, if you see me around town and think my hands look ridiculously dirty and have lots of brown spots, please know that I have taken a bath and washed my hands plenty of times, it's just a sign that I have been using eucalyptus recently. After I use the eucalyptus in arrangements, our well water (high in iron) has a reaction to it and I get these spots, wherever it touched my skin. It's kind of crazy. I can wash my hands in "city water" without spots, but when I come home and take a shower, the spots appear for a day or two. Anyways, long story to explain the spots on my hand while modeling a wristlet! Any scientist out there want to explain my reaction?!?
 

Here's the culprit - a retirement party centerpiece. I love all the different types the euc and it holds up so well, that I overlook the spots it causes. 

If you've ever wondered about size comparison between a fresh red rose and a burlap rose boutonniere, here is the line up. Fresh Corsage and boutonniere, 2 mini rose groom's bout, burlap rose boutonniere.

The burlap rose is smaller that an average size red rose.

Vintage cowboy pillows shipped to the land down under, Australia.  

Navy bridal and small bridesmaid bouquet with a touch of blush burlap.

A wreath to honor a veteran... Always sad to make....

Red, white, and navy bridesmaid bouquets.

Large bridesmaid bouquets (this bride chose the bridal bouquet size for her bridesmaids to carry.)

Now for a couple non-navy bouquets! A medium size coral burlap, lace and tulle bouquet. 

And a camo, sage, tan, brown, and white burlap bouquet, without any lace. It's really hard to believe that I didn't make anything with turquoise this month.

Love y'all lots and thanks for your support! As always, custom orders are welcome and I look forward to helping be a part of your special days! 

Shana's Wedding by the Water

Shana recently sent me a couple of pictures from her recent wedding and they are spectacular! 

Gorgeous Bride, Handsome Groom, and Fabulous Sunset by the Water... Does it get much better?!?

 Yes, it does! Add in the couples children and the officiant of an intimate New Hampshire wedding. How sweet is their daughter holding the navy burlap and lace bouquet?

Shana told me that she does "marketing for one of the largest flower and plant propagators in the country, but knew I didn't want real flowers for my wedding the second I came across your bouquets. You're extremely talented and your work is beautiful. Thank you so much!! :)"

A special thank you to Shana for letting me be a part of your wedding! Congratulations and Best Wishes to your family!

Headed to Italy!

This navy burlap and lace bouquet is on its way to Rome, Italy right now! Giulia contacted me on etsy this week, asking why I didn't ship world wide. I replied, I would ship world wide and just needed to figure an accurate shipping cost for her.

She was so excited and now her bridal bouquet is on a 5,500+ mile trip across the Atlantic! 

Of course, I'm always excited that something I made gets to go world wide and I got to make a bride happy. It was a win-win all the way around!
