Unique Gifts * Vintage Barware * for Bridal Party

We sold this great mod white and teal ice bucket on our Etsy Shop to a bride and groom who were collecting vintage barware as gifts for her bridal party.

I thought it was a fun and unique idea to give vintage barware to the bridal party as a thank you gift.   Gifts that both the bridesmaids and groomsmen would love and use.

Here are some more vintage barware we have for sale on Etsy

Love is Sweet Candy Bar

We had the pleasure of helping decorate a wedding of our dear friends, Karina and JR in Homestead, Florida.  Their wedding was a fun DIY wedding with paper flowers and pinwheels in teals and oranges.

The bride made paper flower bouquets for the bridesmaids and herself..

We made big paper flowers to decorate the wedding ceremony and reception….

We created a bright and fun “Love is Sweet” Candy Bar. We mixed our vintage candy dishes and jars, wood crates, cake dishes and rustic metal shelving unit with the bright colors to create a fun and fabulous candy bar. Our pictures don’t do it justice, can’t wait to see the photographer’s photos.

First thing we made was the DumDum Lollipop tree. We glued a round styrofoam ball to the top of a wide top teal candlestick. Then arranged a big bag of DumDums into the styrofoam ball. It turned out so bright and pretty.

For the backdrop we made pinwheels and Mod Podge signs. We found the instructions for both crafts on Pinterest.

The pinwheels were made from scrapbook paper in bright colors.

Our daughter made  Mod Podge signs to say “Love is Sweet”. She used backgrounds to create the letters that had significance for the bride and groom: Polka dots in their wedding colors,  bible verses and music from a song the bride loves to sing, appropriately “Mama, I’m a big girl now”.

We gathered an assortment of  candy in bright colors, especially teal and orange.

Purchased some lollipops and teal and orange candy (gummies, rock candy, gum balls and chocolates) from a  candy supplier…

Candy necklaces were a big hit!

The rest of the candy was from Sam’s club and I have to tell you that candy was gobbled up in minutes,

faster than the pretty colored candy… Skittles, Hershey’s, Almond Joys,  Reeces, Kit Kats and Jelly Beans…

It was bright and pretty and a fun and yummy favor for guests. A great way for the bride and groom to say thank you to their guests.

Congratulations to Karina and JR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rustic Elegance * A Wedding at Vinewood Estates

We added a touch of vintage to this stunning wedding at Vinewood Estates. The wedding was elegant with a  mixture of styles: modern, rustic, vintage and classic. Here are some pictures to enjoy of the treasures we provided for the wedding. You can rent these vintage items from our collection of vintage rentals.

Vinewood Wedding Lounge Area

We created a lounge area for a wedding at the beautiful Vinewood Estates in Newnan, Georgia. The bride’s style was more modern and neutral than most of our vintage furniture. But vintage treasures that are classic and beautiful can blend in with any style. The lounge area was outside the stable,  where the reception was held, around the dance floor.

Here are some pictures of our wedding lounge area.

We fell so in love with Vinewood Estates that our daughter is going to have her wedding there on May 3, 2013!

How We Refinished an Antique Trunk DIY

We have found several old trunks that weren’t very pretty but we knew had potential. We don’t really like the look of many painted trunks we have seen. So we decided to go with as minimal amount of change to the trunk, keeping pretty rustic but enhance the beauty of the wood.

We started with this….

The canvas fabric on the outside was pretty much worn away in most spots but enough there to cover the beauty of the wood…

So we sanded the wood just enough to take away the fabric and superficially sand the wood. Needed a razor to get the fabric from under the wood slats in some spots. Once the cleaning up was completed,  we coated the wood with Tung Oil mixed with a touch of  Golden Pecan stain. We couldn’t decide whether to polish up the metal but decided to leave it rusty.

We love the rustic but beautiful results!

Next up…

Add a touch of glam to your vintage wedding

Add a touch of glam to your vintage wedding!

We have restored an exquisite antique  10 arm  brass chandelier and it is ready for use.  A friend of ours found this amazing treasure discarded at a construction job site and gave it to us to restore. It is very unique because it has so many arms, real brass, and original crystals that really do sparkle.  Bill put in a lot of hours restoring it and it shows in the final product.

I think this chandelier would look amazing in front of our antique chippy paint doors to create a stunning vintage wedding ceremony backdrop.

Here of some pictures of our rental vintage chandelier…

Here are some ideas on how to incorporate our chandelier into your wedding.
