Rustic and Vintage Burlap and Lace Wedding Bouquets

It's been a while since I've shared pictures of all the custom burlap and lace wedding bouquets I've been making this spring, so I thought I would share some today. Burlap bouquets are available in about 44 colors of burlap (new colors added upon request and availability) and can include customization including lace color, pearls, brooches, feathers, lace flowers, sunflowers, wheat, shotgun shells, etc. Navy has been the most popular wedding color so far this year, followed by turquoise, although there have been some new color combinations lately.

Custom wedding package  - Navy burlap bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets with tan and white burlap roses, white tulle flowers (Tulle cut from a vintage wedding dress) and lace, navy burlap boutonnieres. 

Burlap centerpieces in navy, grey, tan, and white - the bride to be is going to place the bouquets in her own containers.  Marbles or stones can help anchor the bouquets in Mason jars, vases, or other containers.  

A new color and style combination with navy, burnt orange, white, and tan burlap roses, white lace, bleached white peacock feathers, and vintage brooches.

Another new color combo for this keepsake bridal bouquet - wine, royal blue, blush pink, and white burlap flowers, white lace, and rhinestones and pearls.  I believe this bride is allergic to fresh flowers, so that is why they chose the fabric flowers instead. 

Medium size bridesmaid bouquets in royal blue, wine, blush pink, and white. 

Royal blue, tan, white, and chocolate brown burlap roses and ivory lace bridal bouquet. 

Custom wedding flowers with neutral colored bridal bouquet, coral and white  burlap boutonnieres, and individual roses for decorating. Smaller size burlap bouts are available for children in the wedding party, jr groomsmen, ring bearers, etc.  

Coral burlap toss bouquet (this size also used for flower girls). As a bonus tip - display this bouquet in a vase, mason jar, or other pretty container on your registry table for the wedding, just don't forget to take it to your reception to toss to the next bride to be. This way, you get dual use out of a bouquet. 

Medium size burlap bouquet with coral, tan, white, and chocolate brown burlap roses, white, lace and coral tulle, with pearl accents. 

A camo burlap bridal bouquet (extra large and NO lace) with sage green, tan, brown, oyster (cream) and camouflage burlap roses.  

Shotgun shell boutonnieres with a camo burlap rose, feathers, wheat, and raffia for the rustic, outdoors style groom / groomsmen. 

Hunting themed wedding flowers - rustic bridal bouquet  in camo, orange, tan, and chocolate brown burlap roses, with lace and pearls for a feminine touch.  

Custom wedding package with camo bridal and bridesmaid bokays, shotgun shell boutonnieres, wristlet and pin on corsages and a Texas size hairbow

Many times the mothers of the bride and groom get neutral colored wristlet corsages. These come on a pearl style bracelet / wrist band and have roses, tulle, lace, pearls, and a bow. Often times the mothers dresses either do not match the wedding party or they haven't found a dress for the wedding, when they order the flowers. (That was the case with this corsage, with just a few weeks till wedding time.) 

Sunflowers and burlap roses! Over the years, this has been a popular bouquet, although the original version had some wispy grass in it, which I can no longer get (I've looked for 2+ years). When this bride to be inquired about the bouquet and I told her I could do something similar without the grass, she replied "what about using dried wheat instead?" And we both love how it turned out! So going forward this bouquet can have dried wheat or wispy feathers in it, along with the burlap roses, sunflowers, pheasant feathers, lace, pearls, pussy willow branches, and assorted foliage. It is definitely a favorite choice and perfect for summer and fall weddings!

Rustic, country boutonnieres with mini sunflowers, babies breath and twine. 

Custom wedding order - bridal and toss bouquet with sunflowers, coral, tan, and brown burlap roses, bridesmaid bouquets to match (without coral roses, since they are wearing coral dresses) and mini sunflower bouts for the guys in the wedding party.

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! 

New Brooch Bouquets for Your Rustic, Vintage Glam Wedding

 I've been working on some new bridal bouquets, that are ready made and ready to ship. I love collecting vintage lace, brooches, buttons, and assorted jewels to create these bouquets.

This first bouquet has lace from two different vintage wedding dresses. I recently found a beautiful, David's Bridal satin bridesmaid dress in the Portobello color. I immediately knew that it would be fantastic for cutting up to make roses and it gave this bouquet an elegant touch!

Ivory satin roses , burlap roses, lace, and doilies also comprise this keepsake bouquet. Rhinestones and pearl buttons and brooches accents the crochet lace flowers.

 As I'm out junkin', I'm always looking for potential brooches that would be pretty for bouquets. Over time, my collection had accumulated several pink toned pieces, so that inspired me to create a new brooch bouquet with the pink and gold color scheme.

 Tan and white burlap roses along with assorted lace is used in the bouquet. Gold rhinestone mesh ribbon adds some glitzy glam to the bouquet!

 This bouquet is a timeless, neutral color; with tan and white burlap roses, white and ivory lace, along with gold toned and pearl jewelry pieces. It will match almost any color scheme for your rustic, vintage themed wedding.

 I've been bringing in my plants during the cold spells and the house feels like a jungle some days, but it sure is nice to be able to see some green, in the middle of winter! Overall, its been a mild winter, so the ferns have stayed in the gazebo, most of the time. I hung my chandelier in the gazebo as well.

All of these bridal bouquets are unique and one-of-a-kind, due to the vintage nature of the brooches and brooches. These are all currently available in my etsy shop and ready to ship now! If you need coordinating bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, or corsages - please send me a custom request and we can discuss your wedding!
