Sneak Peek at Breanne's Wedding Pictures

Breanne has been a great customer to work with and she shared a few gorgeous sneak peek pictures from her recent rustic wedding. Her wedding colors were Bahama Turquoise, tan, brown and white burlap with just a few hints of deep plum.

You might remember me sharing this picture with all the flower balls last year and telling you that the bride's family was building a pergola to hang them from. 

Well, here it is! So unique and different for an arch and backdrop for the wedding ceremony.

Ahh, someone finally shares a picture with cake flowers for me! I often make burlap cake flowers to coordinate with all the wedding bouquets, but I never have a cake to display them on to photograph. Now I want a piece of this beautiful cake! Yum! 

Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day! I look forward to seeing more of your pictures! I send my congrats and best wishes to you and your new husband!

Today... Or Yesterday

Today, or by the time I finish this blog post, it'll be yesterday!

~ I worked from home, in my fuzzy pajama pants, listing lots of new items in my shop. This release has a very Rustic Romance / Love theme, since Valentine's Day is coming up and love is always in season. 

~ I boxed up orders to take to the post office.

~ Met a client for a consultation for a big event next week. By this time, I had showered and put on my "town clothes!" Heehee

~ Answered emails and convos from customers, checked Facebook a kazillion times, because all the glamper group was liking and commenting on my pictures. 

~ Stopped to eat a late lunch and use a gift card from my birthday last month. I'm not afraid to eat alone... 

~ I actually had a "business lunch", as I answered more messages, got my flower order ready for the event next week, and posted more pictures from the new items on Instagram and Facebook. 

~ Shipped out a dream catcher and wedding bouquet. 

~ Went shopping and found a dress for the event at a small new boutique in town. #shopsmallbusiness 

~ Went to feed my horses and cows and set in the old barn, answering more messages. 

~ Ordered a vest from a boutique on Instagram, that I can wear with my new dress and ordered more turquoise burlap for upcoming wedding orders.

~ Stopped at the feed store and gas station on the way home. Somewhere around this point, I thought I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my job and the ability to be flexible, to not be tied down to a job in a cubicle, to be able to communicate with customers from wherever I am, thankful for my phone and iPad that go everywhere with me, to be able to work at home or wherever I roam and hope I never have to go back to a regular 8-5 job! 

~ The sunset was pretty as I opened the gate at home. 

~ We fixed supper, watched Duck Dynasty,  boxed up orders to ship out tomorrow / today, checked Facebook a kazillion more times, watched the Blacklist and started making roses for the next wedding and now I blog and Jeff snores. It's been a busy day, but I love it!  

I'm so thankful I am able to have a creative business and you allow me to decorate your homes, events and weddings and be apart of your special days! 

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! 

Blush Pink Burlap Wedding Bouquets and New Items!

Hey Y'all! May has been an extremely busy month and I haven't stopped to blog all about it. I promise to catch up with all the happenings and a camper reveal party is coming soon! 

I made several new pieces and listed them in my shop today. First up is the pretty blush burlap bouquet. Several types of blush and ivory lace is nestled among the pink, tan, and cream burlap roses. 

Blush pink has been  a popular wedding color this year and I love the rustic romantic feel to it. 

 There is also a new lace head band that matches the bridal bouquet.

 Speaking of blush weddings - I got to play with fresh flowers on a recent wedding! It was the first time I had worked with fresh flowers, since I left the flower shop before Christmas.

The Ebenezer Friendship Church was the location for the wedding and the church colors worked great with the bride's blush and burlap theme. When we saw this old rustic sign out behind the church, we knew we had to photograph it somehow! So here's the soft blush and white corsage that was made for the officiant. 

 The bride to be wanted arrangements flanking the doors, so that when she walked down the isle, there would be flowers in her pictures. Two arrangements consisted of hydrangeas, snapdragons, stock, larkspur, buttons and alstromeria and assorted greenery. The bride said she didn't like roses, so none were used in her decorations.

 The bride decorated the arch herself, while complimentary fresh flowers were place on the two rustic candelabras.

Now, back to a few more new items in my shop - A birdcage veil attached to a hair comb with small burlap and lace flowers. 

 Ivory lace head band with a couple rustic flowers and rhinestone button would be great for the flower girl to wear (or could be used as a garter.)

 This bird cage veil is large than the other one and comes with whispy white feathers.

 White feathers, pearls, rhinestones and ribbon roses are nestled among the white sheer ribbon and tulle and attached to a beaded wristlet. This wrist corsage would be great for a bridal or baby shower, prom or wedding. I can always add burlap roses in your colors, if you would prefer that option.

All of the burlap items are now available in my shop and are available for immediate shipping! Custom orders are always available and I would be happy to help you create your dream wedding bouquets!
