Tablecloths and Styling: Wedding Edition

Just about this time last year a dear friend asked me to make some items for her wedding.

 

Of course I jumped at the opportunity.

 

Just wanted to walk down memory lane and show y'all how fun everything was.

Look at the precious sign she painted!

This was the entry table to the reception. 

And the gift table!

Love how this fitted tablecloth turned out.

I will be making one of these cloths for myself one day in the near future.

A long view of the reception hall and food area.

 Fringe burlap cloth for the groom's cake

 Simple burlap runners for the reception tables!

 And the piece-de-resistance

The Wedding Cake Table.

 It was so perfect and complimented her cake beautifully!

How fun was this tent??

 

Such a great wedding and I am so thankful the bride asked me to be apart of her special day.

Ps. I am now looking for an excuse to use her band just so I can enjoy a fun night of dancing again!
Seriously they had sooo much energy and they got Everyone on the dance floor!!

Happy (Almost) one year anniversary Candace and Michael.

Thanks again for letting me help with your special day!
And again how perfect was this???



Burlap Carrots Tutorial

Recently a friend of mine found these adoreable carrots on pinterest.

I went to pinterest and I thought I would type up my version of how to put them together. 

Cost me around $4.50 and is super cute to boot!!

isnt she just the cutest thing ever??

Step 1: 

purchase 1 yard of orange burlap for about 3 large carrots

 (I found mine at Hobby Lobby)

Find some fun spriggy fillers in the floral department

(Mine was left over from christmas decor)

purchase one roll of ribbon

If you don't already have any poly fil get some of that, or I have seen people use plastic grocery store bags as filler!

Supplies:

scissors, glue gun, pony tail holder

Step 2:

Cut the burlap into a triangle shape.

Then use the hot glue gun and glue the two angled sides and the bottom together.

Step 3:

Fill the carrots with poly fil

Step 4:

Gather the carrot at the top and attach an elastic ponytail holder.

Step 5:

Stuff the green "spriggy" filler in the top of the carrot and tie a cute knot of ribbon around the carrot.

Step 6: 

Attach a small piece of ribbon or twine to the backside of the carrot to have something to hang the carrot from.

Hang and enjoy!!

(somehow through an update the images have rotated and become distorted, locating the original image to repost for y'all!)

The other two are hanging on my gate!!

(and they need some filler!)

Love having something bright and cheery to drive up to!
