Bed Linens for the Bride-To-Be! (and groom too)

 Well this mountain girl got to take a wonderful trip home to Eastern Kentucky this past weekend and one of the things I was looking forward to was registering for my bedding at my momma's store Simple Changes! For the longest time, I have had dreams of an ivory and white bed and now I get to make it happen! I chose to go all out with the Pine Cone Hill brand. They encompass the shabby chic feel that I love so much! Hope you enjoy as much as I do : )
I have been using these Classic Hemstitch Sheets for years now and I will swear by them. They are so soft and smooth, not heavy at all. You definitely get that sigh of "ahhhh" when you slide into these at the end of the day!

 
I decided to go with the Juliet Duvet cover in white with two matching standard shams. Don't they look so sweet and comfy, not to mention vintage?

I can't wait to have our cloud of a bed!

So the bed won't be so cold with all white, I wanted to pull an ivory quilt with two Euro Pillows. I love mixing texture, and this Rosary pattern was love at first sight.
This bedskirt is so soft and airy. Another added texture, linen!

May I just add that my mother taught me the importance of making a bed. It's the best way to begin your day, and it sets the mood for the entire room. Take pride in your bed! Don't just pull the blankets back and throw pillows on top. Take a few minutes to make it up nicely. I promise there is nothing better than crawling into a freshly made bed at night. 

How I make my beds:
  • Smooth out wrinkles on the bed sheet and do the same with the sheet above.
  • Tuck corners of sheet under mattress at the bottom of the bed and pull tight at the top of the sheet.
  • Do the same with a quilt or coverlet over the sheet set. 
  • Fold down both the sheet and quilt at the top of the bed, maybe 8 to 12 inches (personal preference)
  • Tri-fold duvet cover or blanket at the bottom of the bed, to show quilt or coverlet. 
  • Neatly place sleeping pillows on bed sheet at the top of the bed and place Euros and/or decorative pillows in the front! Voi La! Example below:
 
I may add a boudoir pillow in this pretty Lady Apricot print.
