Happy Thursday darlings! Golly, the days and weeks are just flying by...can you believe we are going to be saying goodbye to September tomorrow, and hello to October on Saturday! Really? How can that be possible?
Anyhoo, before I continue on about how time is flying by these days...I think it's best if I just jump right on into this post. So if you didn't see the first post yesterday darlings, you can see it right
here. However, I have included some of the pictures to make it easier ;-)
Are you ready darlings? Well let's start with some of the fabulous details first...
Recreated...
I LOVE the kraft paper roll escort area! I am not for certain that the tables and names are written in chalk, but since chalk was in one of the pictures I assumed it was. Yet, if you would rather use a white pen then go right ahead darlings...as that is what I think I would prefer ;-) How about those mini milk bottles with white paper straws? Aren't they just too cute for words! Now the mini milk bottles are available, but they are $2.50 each and can be hard to find. However if you love frapuccino - you could use the Starbucks Frappuccino bottles that come in a four pack at the grocery store for about $5.00 per pack (
see and get them here). Then just soak off the labels and scrub off the date and viola - your very own milk bottles! Plus you could always save the frappuccino and use it at your event ;-)
Moving right along to the table decor...
Recreated...
A burlap sack would be a fabulous touch! Especially if you find ones with great writing or designs on them. The above ones I found are pretty simple, which is fine...but if you wanted to jazz it up a bit you could always stamp your own words on them. Yet, you could just use a piece of burlap over the table! I do like the sacks though, as they add an element of dimension, and for me they are reusable. The piece of a branch at each seat is such a simple touch - but I love that you could easily add a name on a tag to it. And almost any type of branch would work...and they are free. To make your own circle though use a fresh branch that's still on a tree, wrap into a circle and then let dry. The wooden cutlery is a great touch too (
the above is under $70 for 250 sets). Lots of wood and textures always make for a great table ;-) How easy is that white twine? But it adds such a great element, no? And I have a lovely idea for twine coming up in my 'Handcrafted' post ;-)
And finally, my favorite, a couple of vintage pieces...
Recreated...
Yes, I love a touch of vintage! How wonderful would homemade jam favors look stacked inside the milk crate? And for the wood boards down the center of the table - well, old wood boards from a barn or fence would work just perfectly. And I would love to see these wood boards on a bar area with drinks awaiting to be drunk...pretty but simple glasses filled with champagne or a cocktail would look lovely would they not?
Between this Color Crave Recreated post, and the first
Color Crave Recreated post I did last week - it just goes to show you that you can add a couple vintage pieces without having to have a full on vintage affair. It's the mix that I love - old and new that work so well together. Just like a relationship right? The old one as boyfriend and girlfriend to the new one of husband and wife ;-)
Hope you enjoyed this Color Crave Recreated darlings! It's always fun to play with ideas and see what you can create...this always gets thoughts swirling and twirling inside my head - which for me is a GOOD THING ;-) Happy shopping!
