Handmade Holiday :: Rosemary Place Cards

December 16, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Handmade Holiday : Fresh Herb Place Cards | Dreamery Events It’s the most wonderful time of the year… except when it involves hectic schedules and endless to-do lists. This year, I’m determined to not let holiday craziness, both personally and within the business, get the best of me, or in the way of savoring this magical season. This is one of the most magical times of the year, and so in keeping with this year’s goal of “simplicity” I’ve been creating very easy DIY’s that are elegant, whimsical, and a personal way to incorporate more holiday decor within your home and entertaining!

Handmade Holiday : Fresh Herb Place Cards | Dreamery Events If you’ve been following along you may have noticed I’ve taken matters into my own hands by keeping this holiday season stress-free, even amongst all the orders, event work, and personal sh** to take care, and focusing on what really matters! Who’s with me? And although a handmade holiday may seem like the opposite and make the holiday even more stressful, it actually helps you relax by getting craftsy with holiday themed fun, while repurposing items from holidays past, that may be simply taking up space in your home.

So to continue our next installment of Handmade Holiday, I’m sharing these lovely nature inspired place cards perfect for your next holiday party table! 

Handmade Holiday : Fresh Herb Place Cards | Dreamery Events

It’s only in the last two years or so that personally my family has begun using place cards at Thanksgiving. Since Christmas we have big two day celebrations, we tend to take it a bit more casual, so for Thanksgiving {where our focus is to begin gathering once again, being thankful for each other and the delicious spread on the table} we tend to make decor and styling just a bit more nicer. 

In keeping with a foraged natural simplistic holiday, these fresh herb place cards mimic this lovely wreath and only require pieces of cards stock and sprigs of fragrant fresh rosemary.

Handmade Holiday : Fresh Herb Place Cards | Dreamery Events I calligraphed each person’s name, but you can easily type them on the computer, print then cut them down to the size of your choice.

Hot glue in place. I made a hole punch to insert the branch to make sure it was better secure.

Some hung them at work, others to sit along a frame and my cousin even placed it onto her tree, how fun right?! 

These place cards really are the simplest decor to make, yet make for such a lovely addition to a holiday table, without taking away from the special seasonal celebration!

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”

This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
