I have a confession to make...I went back through my Pinterest board today and cleared out everything lace, burlap, tree logs, mason jars and cutesy sign-ish. Oddly I felt really REALLY good about doing it. Then I had a what in the *&%$# were you thinking moment. I shall enjoy a captain & coke tonight to celebrate.
Re: Burlap, lace and everything Pinterest
I actually don't mind any of these things on their own. I mind that pinterest has made these the things every bride every has to have for her rustic wedding...that's at a country club or a banquet hall.
I think the tinted mason jars are gorgeous.
I met with some ladies in my parish about a month ago to discuss decorations, and they kept throwing burlap out there. I kept tacitly ignoring the burlap suggestions, and finally one of the ladies said "Girls, I don't think she's into the whole burlap, rustic thing!"
Ya think?
"They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, 'Search for Paradise.' " - Kiba, Wolf's Rain
I do fucking hate burlap though.
There are people who collect lace, and are very knowledgeable about handmade lace. It is nothing like the cheap Chinese machine made lace we see today.
I think there is a way to tastefully do just about all of the "pinteresty" wedding stuff. People just go over the top and make it ridiculous.
I'm the fuck out.
