Bunting Flags & Burlap: A Love Affair

A while ago I fell in love with the most beautiful rustic banner imaginable… behold the Bienvenue…

 Etsy- Funkyshique

Beautiful no? But very French, and me and Mr. AZ, well we’re not French. Not even a little, not even Canadian. So we had a banner commissioned on Etsy in the exact same style only reading “Celebrate”. My pictures do it no justice so just imagine the above photograph reading “Celebrate”. I love using that word because it can instantly be used at Birthdays, Anniversaries, and Christmas! Love re-usable crafts.
This banner did more than become a banner we will hang at our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding, it became inspiration for throwing in a little more rustic burlap into the mix for texture at a minimal price.

Ruffled

Just look at the beautiful texture it adds to those tables and the frayed edges- I adore it! Well I should say I adore the no-sewing-involved aspect. Anyway the more I looked for inspiration the more I adored burlap. But natural light burlap not the dark stuff that reminds me of potatoes.

Style Me Pretty

So with it being 2 weeks until our wedding day, I have decided to take no-fuss, frayed edged, burlap runners to go with our beautiful “Celebrate” banner. What do you think of the emerging burlap trend? P.S. Isn’t this when people generally STOP adding things to their to-do lists? I feel like I have crazy amounts of energy at the moment. WEIRD.
