DIY Wedding: Burlap

Burlap and Bling via Elizabeth Anne Designs // photography by Kristyn Hogan

What's not to love about a rustic wedding?  My beautiful bride-to-be friend Jessica (who is my muse for this series) was telling me of her plans to incorporate burlap into her wedding decor.  I am so excited to see what amazingness she whips up-- and even more excited to see her say I do to her love!  

Disclaimer: As tempting as it is, I'm definitely not saying you should use each and every burlap inspiration in your wedding.  There is definitely such a thing as "too much burlap".  Moderation... Oh so difficult!  I know, I know-- burlap is super cute and cheap and you have so much of it!  Don't worry-- next week I will share lots of great DIY ideas about what to do with your bounty of extra burlap!  Follow my blog so you don't miss out!

Being the middle of the holiday season, here are some beautiful rustic decorating ideas and eye candy for your pleasure! The beautiful floral arrangements were created by Brooklyn florist, Emily Thompson. The beautiful photographs are shot by Levi Stolove.

Emily's lovely Brooklyn shop

I love the idea of giving candles or a potted plant as holiday gifts or party favors.

A Blinged out gift for the host - Moët & Chandon Champagne iced with crystals!

So how cool would it be if your guests gave you this blinged out gift!

It's from Moët & Chandon Champagne and you can personalize your own with crystals for a holiday gift. Yes, it is a bit on the decadent side, but everyone needs a little taste of decadence every once and awhile ;)

And if you wanted to go really over the top you can offer these as wedding favor gifts, how awesome would that be!

Love all things mini especially Mini Champagne bottles for a unique wedding favor

Ok, so you know how I love all things mini, and when looking for the perfect wedding favors I found Pommery POP champagne. They come in hot pink, gold and royal blue. So if your colors match what a great favor display that would make!

You can even buy the super long straws and have your guests pop their champagne at the cocktail hour and walk around sipping them, it's really cute! You can buy it NapaCabs.com.

I love favors that you can eat, drink and enjoy! And who doesn't love champagne, right?!

Little Candy Cakes for your wedding! Super cute!

How cute are these mini cakes! I just love The Little Candy Cake Company located at the new Limelight Market Place on 6th Avenue and 20th Street in NYC. They are all custom and made with chocolate! These little cakes would make a great wedding favor or instead of one big cake, have one of these sitting in front of your guests. How SWEET!
