Christmas Gift Wrapping with a Theme!

  • December 9, 2016

Are you like me in the fact that you choose a theme every year for your Christmas tree?!

I totally do, I find one thing that inspires my entire “Christmas Tree” design concept and I just “run with it!”  Sometimes it may be a new outfit, or Christmas wrapping paper color or a printed motif or even an old Christmas memory.

This year, and well every year, I’ve been obsessed with wanting to design my entire Christmas tree around the color, ice blue! It’s just gives off such a wintry vibe, right?!

My inspiration surrounding this year’s Coastal Country Modern Christmas were several things, the soft pastel blue skies we pretty much have year round, my walks on our farm that include mini scavenger hunts where we find random birds feathers and where cotton fields flank each side of the road. I love combining soft and hard elements, and old and new…I like to throw “unexpected” items in my Christmas mix.

After all, colors do evoke emotion…and living further souther where we typically O N L Y have 2 seasons Summer and like 3 days of fall (lol) The more wintry it feels the more at home I feel!

The Wrapping Paper: I chose a combination of white wrapping paper, soft blues, natural craft paper and I always like to throw in a fun print or accent color like the double striped paper. 

Present Accessories: I like to pull a get a “two-fer” yes my word for two for one…meaning I like to use an ornament to act as my presents decor as well as a gift to the person on the receiving end.

My Present Accessories: This year I used a combination of hand crafted wooden ornaments by my local “friendors” as well as guinea feathers and real cotton. I love bringing in God’s perfect creation, nature in everything I do! It’s always the right color and texture without the need to modify it.

I’d love to know your Christmas tree theme this year!

    Emily and her staff were AMAZING! If you're looking for someone who is easy to work with, knows their stuff, and puts in 110% throughout the entire process, she's your girl! My main goal was to keep my wedding as stress-free as possible... which sounds impossible, especially when fashion and decorating aren't your thing. However, after the first time I spoke with Emily, I knew I had nothing to worry about. The way she gets to know you and your idea of the perfect wedding is so convenient. It was as easy as sharing my wedding Pinterest board, a few emails, and a few phone conversations, and VOILA! My wedding was even more beautiful that I had ever imagined! She was able to roll with the punches, be flexible with my changing and adding of ideas, and stay excited and positive throughout the entire process. Not many florist/decor professionals would be happy to carve pumpkins to use for floral arrangements - nor would they take extra time to go to the venue, take a look around, and make adjustments to the initial plan to go better with the landscape. She's amazing! My wedding would haven't been the same without her, and I will be forever grateful for my friend's mom who recommended her to me!

    It is hard to describe in words the amazing job Emily Burton and her company Emily Burton Designs did to bring my wedding vision to life. As a customer, I was beyond thrilled with Emily's work. As someone with no event designing experience, I was blown away by the talent that Emily Burton Designs offers. First and foremost, Emily is a wonderful, professional person to work with. Upon our first meeting, she really listened to what I wanted and helped guide me toward ideas that were out of the box and ahead of the trends. Emily produced (in my opinion), the most beautiful, picturesque wedding reception imaginable. Upon my arrival at the reception, I noticed certain details executed that I had offhandedly emailed to Emily over the course of my one year wedding planning timeframe.

    Emily was great to work with from the initial phone call, to the walk through and finally the wedding! What I loved most about Emily and her team were that they were able to take my vision and create my dream wedding which wasn't easy since I asked for a winter glam wedding meets the twilight saga wedding :). I also had a last minute ceremony venue change and Emily was more then happy to change details to coordinate with the new space. I completely trusted Emily and on top of that, she is an extremely sweet person! All of the bouquets were beautiful!!! She really captured everything I had wanted. Her team went above and beyond and collected everything for me at the end of the night and brought it all to the bridal suite. I would highly recommend her!

    Emily Burton Designs is AMAZING!!! Emily was my absolute favorite vendor of all the vendors that I used for my wedding. It feels weird calling her a vendor because I truly feel like I have made a friend for life. From the very beginning of the process, Emily was awesome. My wedding was out of town and I needed someone who could handle florals as well as overall design and decor. I interviewed three other "design teams" and Emily was the only one who was willing to work within my budget. The others kept telling me that my "taste was too expensive for my budget". Emily, however, worked with me and suggested less expensive flowers or decor that would still be beautiful. I am not the typical bride in that I did not have a folder or Pinterest page of wedding ideas. Emily was sooo patient and helped me develop my overall theme. I even changed my wedding colors halfway through and she never got frustrated with me. She was truly amazing. Emily was the one vendor that I totally and completely trusted. My wedding was supposed to be outside; however, when the forecast started to predict rain, Emily went to my backup indoor venue room for me since I was out of town!!! She calmly called me and already had ideas for decorating the indoor backup room which turned out perfect! Just before the wedding Emily revealed the reception room to me and I literally cried!!! It was BEYOND AMAZING AND OVER THE TOP!!! She totally took everything that I said I wanted and made it absolutely breathtaking! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful the flowers and decor were. Working with Emily Burton Designs has been the highlight of my whole wedding planning process. She is professional, totally gifted, and tons of fun! All of my friends commented that I seemed so relaxed before the wedding. And, I was because I totally trusted Emily. I knew it would be beautiful....and it was!!!
