Shabby Chic Rose Styling







My formula for styling.




Keep arranging until it sizzles.


Make it have a lived-in look.


The top is my finished vignette.


I started with some (still) gorgeous

dried white roses.







These were on long stems


from South America.


I couldn't believe how they


dried white/cream and not brown.









I love arranging them in a





heart shape but I also





didn't want them







handled too much by little fists,





so I put them in a vintage pitcher





probably from the 50's





thrift shop purchase 1.00









I like the see through look here.









Then I walked by my rusty




silver platter that I hadn't




put away yet and inspiration hit.




Romantic crystal, candles,




roses and diamonds.




Okay. The "diamonds"




are really glass on a keychain that




I slipped down on the candle.






It cost 2.00














Here is where I stopped.




Doesn't the cream,




silver and white




look charming?




Plus the shimmer even




without the candles lit





gives it a shabby chic style.

Hi Candylei,
roses are my favourite and so I was curious how you decorate with them. Your dried roses are fantastic and each vignette looks really special. Thank you for showing this inspirating post.
Best greetings, Johanna

I love it all. I have NEVER seen white roses dry white and cream and not turn brown or at least gold. GORGEOUS!
