VINTAGE TINS AND FLOWERS

Besides being a bridesmaid, I also did the flowers for my friend's wedding this past weekend. I love doing flowers and sometimes miss doing them for weddings, but it is a lot of work. This job was especially fun though because the bride had amassed vintage tins and they were all so uniquely pretty. I secretly wanted to sneak one and keep it to my self. Which one from the tins above is your favorite?

  1. I'm doing this same thing for my wedding! Luckily, my kitchen is already full of old tins. Our theme is a Circus, so I really am in love with the Barnum's Animal Crackers tin! And the red Coffee one!

    So fun!

  5. I thought this was some collection of photos off etsy. Not one to doubt another's creative resourcefulness, but I am picking my jaw up off the floor. BEAUTIFUL! You are very, very talented and one stylish and talented mama!

  11. The Barnum's tin grabs me...but partly because we used to have one growing up. We kept trail mix in it I think.

  18. This is such a wonderful idea! When i was in Turkey last year i walked by a garden where they used large tins as flower pots. These photos reminded me of this garden :)

  19. Oh my, they are all so adorable! :) But I think I'm slightly partial to the Campfire Marshmallow tin...the white tin makes those gorgeous flowers pop.

    Hmmmm. Now I think I may have to go visit the flea market to look for some vintage tins. :)
