Turquoise Burlap and Lace Wedding Bouquets and a New Photo Backdrop

After I finish with a wedding order, I like to take the Burlap and Lace Bouquets outside to take final pictures with natural light. I'm always looking for a new or different place around the yard to take pictures. I've used the gazebo, picnic table, old school chairs and even a vintage sink to take pictures. When I completed the dresser makeover earlier in the year, I had in mind using it as a photo backdrop. Of course the chippy, peely dresser was occupied with fall decor and unavailable for wedding shoots. Now that the scarecrows and pumpkins are gone, I got to experiment with staging pictures!

Put a Shade On It!

Earlier in the fall, I was dividing plants and moved this Lamb's Ear to a new flower pot. It was droopy and needed some support.

Well I had this rusty ol' lamp shade that just wondered around the yard, with no real purpose. So these two got together and have made a great pair!

The lamp shade started as a temporary fix, but I think I like the combination and will leave the shade on the Lamb's Ear. What do you think?

 

A Burlap and Lace Christmas Tree

I think I finally finished decorating my little Christmas tree!

I chose a Burlap and Lace theme this year.

 I decorated the tree with a scrunched up red burlap garland, strips of a lace curtains rescued from the Goodwill, strings of pearls, white burlap roses, and various tan burlap flowers and ribbon. Three white feathers topped the shabby chic tree.  I thought I was finished, yet something seemed to be lacking.

 I came across a box of bling that I had  used last year and decided to pick in the brown, gold, and green glittery stems. Now it seems finished and there's no place to put anything else on the tree.

 We live in a small house and the little tree is perfect for our crowded home. The shabby chic mini tree sits on an antique sewing machine in front of our living room window.

 Everything that went on the tree was either hand made or recycled from years past, with no money spent on decorating the tree this year.
