I have this certain friend that just cringes when I say that I love burlap. Mind you she is extremely trendy and loves weddings that have that modern twist. I would have to say that modern and burlap do not mix, and that’s okay. When I think of burlap, I envision a very vintage romantic look with a bit of rustic mixed in. The above table and bouquet were designed by us here at Elements of Elegance. We were trying to capture that vintage look using mix matched china, gold silverware, antique wine glasses, and a mason jar filled with old buttons with a pomander of baby’s breathe. And last item that pulled the entire look together was the burlap overlay we made. I can honestly say we had more compliments on this table, than any other.
Now burlap is not for everyone, but it does have its place in the world of weddings. Plus burlap is taking off in the world of high fashion. Below are some examples I found showing off the beauty of burlap! Now I do admit that this is not my style but I know it would look amazing on the right person. Enjoy!!!
