I am going to be perfectly honest with you. Before becoming engaged and obsessing over all things wedding, I had no clue what bunting was. The first time I heard of bunting, my first thought was maybe they meant bundt. (Come on, I know I am not the only one.) Maybe instead of having a candy bar they were doing various types of bundt cakes? In fact, whenever a bundt cake is mentioned in my family, typically we quote this scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Even now that I am well aware of what bunting is, I still correlate it to a bundt cake. Ya know, the kind with a hole in it.

I have had months to ogle these pretty little flags. I officially fell into a “gimme gimme I have to have it” state of mind. I finally went on a mad search on Etsy. I came across burlap bunting with glittery writing by seller funkyshique. This was spot on with the style of the wedding. You have the burlap, which is all rustic-like and the glittery writing to add a pretty flare. I thought for a split second that maybe I could DIY. Then I realized from past experiences that I should probably be restrained from glitter to protect all those around me, including myself. This was probably not the best project for me to DIY. I then sent a message to funkyshique to see if we could do a little customization.

I cannot say enough incredible things about this seller. She corresponded with me for nearly three weeks until we decided exactly what I wanted. Her work is outstanding and she is so dang creative. You go, girl.

Here is the finished work.

My personal favorite, to be hung on the bar:

OK, I need to show you a closeup of those beers. Seriously, way too freakin’ cute. Yum, look at that frothy goodness.

I am so impressed with how these turned out. It’s the little details that make a big difference to me.

Who else will be using bunting? And please tell me I am not the only one who assumed bunting and bundt were one and the same?
