Pail of Flowers

Flower girl perfection - in ballet pink

My "vision" for this wedding is a laid back garden feel with a little bit of elegance. Instead of carrying a basket of flowers, I wanted Sadie to be able to carry a pail. I looked all over for small pails but none of them seemed worthy enough to carry her flowers. And then I found these ADORABLE white pails at a local craft shop. (On sale for $1.75 each - just saying...)

I loved the distressed look of the pails and the cute flower border - I thought it made an ordinary pail a little more "pretty." Sadie's dress is ivory (to match mine) and I thought carrying a white pail would be a little bland. So I decided to paint the pails pink using some spray paint I got for $3.00 at Michaels. (I'm not sure what I will use the other pails for yet - but you can't pass up $1.75).

LOVE anything named "ballet slipper"

The finished product!

This was such a super easy thing to do and will bring a little more color into the day. I may tie green ribbons from the side - not quite sure yet. My only concern was if the "distressed" look would show through the spray paint and sure enough it did! They are PERFECT!
