A Rustic Elegant Wedding Styled Shoot with love birds and burlap

I'm so excited to share with you today's photo shoot that I was honored to be a part of. I designed all of the custom paper goods including the invitation, favor toppers and place cards {via my online etsy shop at Wedding Girl}. It was so fun to incorporate burlap into the invitation design. I'm loving the rustic touch it adds. And, a touch of elegance was brought in with the use of a sheer green ribbon on top of the burlap as well as on the place cards. The set-up and beautiful photographs are by Raquel Sergio Photography in Tampa, Florida.

Rustic Elegance with Flowers Wrapped in Burlap

I'm loving the combination of beautiful florals wrapped in burlap to create the look of rustic elegance. You can wrap the bouquet stems in burlap, wrap burlap around the flower vases {looks great with mason jars} or you can even create the actual flowers with burlap. It's such a wonderful combination of textures. And, this combination works well for any season of the year too. Here's just a sampling of my favorites . . . {what's your favorite one?}
