Time to Jam

I adore fresh homemade jam, there is nothing else like it. Jam also makes a fun personal favor for your guests, plus you can do so much with the packaging.

Introductions & {Rummage the Shed}

Good morning lovelies things have been growing over here at Bustle, so the time has come to hire an intern and we found the perfect fit...please blow kisses to our new intern... Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn share our passion for bringing amazing details and personality to every wedding. We are so happy to have her on our team and we didn't have any hesitation about throwing here right into our blog. So from now on Tuesdays you will be seeing posts from Kaitlyn.

This morning I was inspired by what else but my old pop’s garage! What may look like piles of junk could be heaps of treasure for your rustic wedding. From old tool boxes to wheelbarrows, old scales, chicken wire, typewriters, antique tools, wooden ladders, and even an old truck or classic motorcycle. It’s also a fantastic way to get the men in the family involved in your big day, so don’t be afraid to hand them over a project or two! I urge you to take a trip over to the old shed, wipe off the dust, and enjoy discovering an abundance of retro and rustic finds. Rummage away!

Adding Antlers

Looking to add a rustic chic element to your wedding? Look no further than using antlers. I am adoring the elegance a pair of antlers can create. Also, think about painting them gold or white or any accent color you will love.

Rustic Prep Rehearsal Dinner

Today this shoot was featured on the Ruffled Blog pop on over and check it out!

I was recently inspired by images of Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection which has been described as Bohemian Prep. As I began to play around with how this might translate into wedding design, Rustic Prep came to mind and the ideas began to flow from there.

To keep in line with a preppy color palette, I chose to focus on navy, cream, mustard, apple green, with just a touch of red. Because of my love for old movies, I thought it’d be cool to somehow incorporate it into a shoot. That’s when the concept for a rehearsal dinner themed “Dinner & A Movie” was born.

In my head I knew of the perfect location to pull this off. I wanted the setting to be rustic and a bit unusual. A local dairy provided the perfect backdrop for the evening’s festivities. The idea was the guests would arrive and enjoy a dinner al fresco with the hills of the dairy farm and the sunset in the background. Following dinner, guests were invited to create their own sweet or savory popcorn with toppings that included sea salt, caramel, rosemary infused olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. With popcorn and refreshments in hand they cuddle up with blankets and pillows under the stars to watch an old 8mm movie.

Rustic Prep details of the day included a table built from a vintage door, old cafe chairs upholstered in navy and cream stripes, a popcorn buffet set atop a vintage dresser adorned with bunting and antlers taken straight from the dairy, a plaid invitation and striped menu, placecards printed on kraft tags, and a vintage ladder which held blankets and pillows encouraging guests to cuddle up during the movie. This concept could easily translate into a couple’s shower, next-day brunch, or rehearsal dinner.

An Open Door

Adding vintage elements to your wedding will give it a feel of heritage and old romance. I love using vintage doors to the decor. Vintage doors work perfect for an escort card display, backdrop or any other place in need of a vintage detail.

Rustic Vinyard {Real Wedding} Erin & Nate

Erin and Nate approached me about designing their wedding at Cline Cellars in Sonoma California and I could not have been happier. Both Erin and Nate wanted a classic elegant feel with a touch of rustic when it came to the design. They also wanted their guests to have a blast, and they did.

We incorporated a rustic lounge in the corner of the barrel room perfect for people to chat and sip wine. The bridesmaids wore cream which was daring, but when you confidence like Erin it's no big thing! LOVE IT! And can we talk about the cake... placed on top of huge cylinder vases filled with water and orchids! Stunning right?
