Often peter pan collars give a dainty, feminine feel to an outfit. I thought I would switch it up and wear this vintage collar with something a bit more rough around the edges.

And isn’t this ad too cute?!? It makes me excited for warmer weather…and the odd desire to dress up and walk down the middle of street with girlfriends! ha!

ps- Here’s a look at my color palette preview for the invitations.

This past weekend I participated in my first craft/wedding fair, Wedding Day Hooray. What a great time meeting local vendors and Atlanta brides! It was also the perfect motivation to create a few new products (they will be available in the shop later this week). Here’s a glimpse of the booth shared with the fabulous Fine and Fleurie. Be sure to check out her beautiful bridal accessories. I may have tried on one of her veils…I just couldn’t resist! Haha!

I also have to give a shout out to Four Inch Fold Vintage Rentals. They supplied the wire fixtures for the booth. Go look at their inventory, you’ll drool!!

If you entered the giveaway, scroll down to bottom of this post to view the winner.

Congrats bride-to-be, Autumn!! I will be emailing you this week about the details for the invitations.

Below are few shots I captured from my iPhone.

Happy Monday!!

Yes, it’s not Wednesday…. but it wasn’t in the cards for yesterday. So today you can admire my new favorite thrift find- a giant red, plaid poncho! Simply perfect for this in-between weather and super comfy!

Last summer I designed this invitation suite for an untraditional rustic wedding. The couple was getting married outside and incorporating many natural elements. For the design I took the same route, but a more graphic approach with the woodgrain and branch elements. Yes, they “put a bird on it”…. in fact two birds. Each bird reflected a sentiment for the bride and groom. On one bird we use a scanned excerpt from a cherished book of Taira’s and the sheet music from a favorite song of Peter’s on the other bird… so personal, I loved it!

Everything came together beautifully, including the Rehearsal Dinner Postcard. It was complete will a mini envelope filled with kraft confetti and two information cards.  On the wedding day, I also designed all the print materials… food labels, ceremony program, table numbers, favor tag, escort cards, etc.

Taira and Peter’s eye for wedding colors and desire to be off-beat made for one-of-a-kind stationery (and a fun experience!).

This vintage wedding dress ($5 find!!) has always stuck out to me as the perfect Valentine’s dress.

Taking a trip down memory lane…

-Last year I made this Valentine’s garland… it’s hanging on the mantel again this year. A simple little craft to set the mood! haha.
-I also helped my sister create these Valentine Cards. Ahhhh… my how she has grown!

I hope you have a lovely day… filled with hugs, kisses, and/or chocolate! ;)

XOXO

I think we all need this little reminder from time to time…

Don’t you love this camper on the river?!? When I saw it, I wanted to live there…surrounded by the most breath-taking views.

The photo is from my trip to New Zealand a couple of years ago. I never went through the photos and this year one of my goals is to just that. As a little discipline and inspiration, I’m posting images from that adventure.

Happy Monday!
