Rustic Burlap Wedding Flowers

Recently, we've had some custom request for new burlap color combinations.  The Etsy Trend Report predicts that Burnt Orange will be one of the 2019 top color trends and this was  a recent order requesting burnt orange, tan, and white burlap roses with ivory lace.

 This wedding had bouquets in every size, so I thought this would be a good time to label and show the different sizes, side by side. The bridal and medium size bouquets both have the lace collar around the edges, while the small bridesmaid bouquet and toss bouquets only have the tufts of burlap or "leaves" around the edges. Often, the medium size bouquet is used for the maid or matron of honor to carry, while the smaller option is carried by the remaining bridesmaids in the wedding party.

We also made boutonnieres to match for the groom and groomsmen. 

Another new color combination featured mint green, blush pink, pink, and tan burlap roses, ivory lace, hunter green leaves and just a touch of chocolate brown used for the stems of the bouquets and boutonnieres. 

 The bridal bouquet had mint green roses added to it, while the bridesmaid bouquets only had the shades of pink and tan roses.

 The groom and father of the bride had a mint green bout, while the groomsmen had pink roses.

 This mint green pin on corsage was made for the mother of the bride.

Both of the above color combinations have now been added to my shop. Of course, if you want custom colors or other variations, you can always message me for a custom order and changes can be made. 

The following color combinations are long time favorites! 

For the turquoise  - the bride chose to carry a medium size bouquet, while the bridesmaids were actually carrying the toss bouquets. For budget conscience bride's, this is one way to scale back and save a little bit. 

We also did this very simple corsage for the mother of the bride and groom. A rose with just a little bit of lace and pearls. 

Navy has long been a favorite of bride's! 

Preston and Charlene's Western Wedding

I recently had the pleasure of designing burlap bouquets and boutonnieres for Preston and Charlene's Western Wedding! Her photographer, Stacey Hansen, shared pictures with me last week and let me tell you, they are gorgeous! The bride is stunning and scenery is spectacular in Northern Utah at the American West Heritage Center! 

Charlene's colors were David's Bridal "Pool" and after sending her fabric samples, she decided my "Jade" burlap was the best match for her. The jade is more of a light turquoise / aqua blue color. Her bridal bouquet had tan and jade burlap roses, sola flowers and lace, while the bridesmaids bouquets were more neutral colored to stand out against the pool blue dresses.  

Together Charlene and her photographer made my bouquets look pretty!

The wedding party. 

I always love the Boots and Bouquet pictures! 

Thank you to Charlene and Preston for letting me be a part of your special day! I send my Congratulations and Best Wishes to you! 

Now, please go over to Stacey Hansen's website to see even more gorgeous pictures and additional sources for their wedding!

From the "Happy Mother of the Bride"

Last year, Dawn ordered turquoise burlap and lace bouquets and boutonnieres for her daughter's fall wedding and I received the following message and pictures from her this week. 

"Hi Janice, 

I just wanted to thank you again, for the wonderful job you did on my daughters flowers for her wedding. The wedding was 10/24/15. Sorry for the delay. Bride and flowers were beautiful, sending a few pictures. 

Wonder work, very satisfied. Would definitely recommend your product to anyone.

Happy Mother of the Bride,
Dawn"

 I appreciate the kind words of recommendation from the Happy Mother of the Bride and I'm so thankful to work with wonderful customers that allow me to be a part of their special occasions. Sending my congratulations to the beautiful bride and her groom on their recent wedding!

All photos in this post were provided by Dawn and the wedding photographer was Dayna Healy from Madeline Garrett Photography.

The March Report

It was a busy, busy March and I am so appreciative of all my customers who have allowed me to design bouquets for their weddings and special events, including a quinceañera  and a 10 year vow renewal. I love hearing everyone's story and feel like I get to know a few customers through our email correspondence!   (I know it's now the middle of April - I just realized this did not post as I had intended... Better late than never, right?) 

Lavender burlap was popular this month, with the first bridal bouquet having lavender, purple, and grey roses and bling and coordinating lavender boutonnières. 

This turquoise bouquet is going to be used at a quinceñeara later this year.

Jade or aqua bridal bouquet, small bridesmaid bouquets and boutonnières. 

A burlap and cotton bridal and toss bouquet. This bride wanted just a hint of orange in with the turquoise and tan bridesmaid bouquets, so a few tufts of the orange burlap was nestled among the roses. 

I will admit that when a bride ask for "true timber white snowfall camo," I had to jump on google and see what that was! She wanted a few of the satin white camouflage roses included in the turquoise bouquet. 

Bridesmaid bouquets to match. 

I made a little flower girl basket to coordinate with the wedding colors and included mini roses in the camo, turquoise and brown.

This was a totally new color combo, with the billow blue, light pink, and cream roses, lace, bling, and feathers for a special bride to be. 

Along with coordinating boutonnières and 

A pillow for the ringbearer to carry. He gets that little boutonnière to wear as well. 

This bride wanted a lime green, grey and black long stem bouquets without lace. Tufts of black tulle were included between the roses. Here's a fun fact about me-  When I was a kid, I could not stand lace! Hated it, didn't want a lace slip under my church dress or touching my skin anywhere. My grandmama had to sew me lace less clothes and now I work with it everyday. I bet she's shaking her head at me right now for all the times I cried about hating lace! What can I say? My taste have changed and I'm making up for lost time! 

Ruffley layered burlap table cloth. My eight year old, tom boyish self would have ran kicking and screaming from that much lace! 

Heres a sneak peek at something exciting coming in April! I am preparing inventory for a soon to be released Roots and Wing Collection. Lots of pillows are being sewn, along with tote bags, and caps. I hope to have everything finished and listed in a few weeks. I'll be sure and share more details soon. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who allows me to help create your dream bouquets! I appreciate each and everyone of you and send my best wishes. 

Please contact me through my etsy shop if you need rustic wedding bouquets for your upcoming events. Some ready to ship inventory is available or I would be happy to create custom bouquets for you.
