Our Hero

We met Jessie at the Lost Canyons Golf Club Bridal Fair this spring.  Through the course of our consultation and design meetings, we just completely came to adore this beautiful and sweet little bride.  One weekend when her fiancé Austin was home on leave, she brought him by to meet us and check out her design.

The respect and admiration the two of them had for each other was obvious and they were absolutely adorable!  We were so honored to design for them, and we want to thank Austin for his service to us and our country, and to Jessie for her sacrifice while her husband serves.  We are truly grateful for our servicemen and servicewomen and were so blessed to be involved in their special day!

Destination Wedding::Sneak Peek

We were so pleased to be contacted by the Mother of the Groom for this romantic and tropical themed destination wedding.  We loved collaborating with bride, groom, and MOG to put together this design with the mango-colored pocket fold softened by the sheer pink ribbon and just a hint of pink cardstock peeking from under the ecru card stock, and the dreamy heart watermark bringing in the romance.

 These have been addressed and sent, and now we're on to designing the rest of the order -- table numbers, name cards, seating assignment chart...  Is it okay to have this much fun at work?!

We've been pinned!

We don't know if you have heard of this little thing called Pinterest that is kinda sweeping the internet nation.  Yeah, well, we're on it.  The most recent photo shoot that we got to be a part of was featured on a little wedding blog -- maybe you've heard of it -- STYLE ME PRETTY (yeah, it's huge), and our designs made it to Pinterest!!

The photo shoot highlighted The Nakate Project, an enterprise which gives African women the opportunity to earn a living for their families by selling their beautiful handmade jewelry.   We were honored to support such a worthwhile endeavor.

And, you know, all the little details that pull it all together.  We did that too.

So today was quite a big day for us.  We were featured on one of the biggest wedding blogs out there.  Our designs are being repinned as we speak and we're as inspired as ever. 

You can check out the Boho Chic styled shoot here.  And to pin the designs on Pinterest, just click on any image above.

Happy Pinning!

Featured!

We are so excited to have been featured on Grey Likes Weddings (a gorgeous blog we have long loved and followed)!  We were asked by Christina Richardson of SCV Makeup Artist to collaborate with a group of talented women for a 1940's Hollywood wedding photo shoot, with, shall we say, a little twist.

Christina, along with Samantha Santana of Primary Petals, dreamed up  the Beauty vs. Beast theme.  So Hollywood meets The Woods, as in swarming-with-critters-woods.  Yes, with a twist, but under the incredibly talented direction of Christina and Samantha, a gorgeous shoot unfolded!

We met these ladies through Creative Connection LA, and we are consistently amazed at their talent and vision.  We are planning on posting about Creative Connection LA soon, but in the meantime, check it out on Facebook.  Talk about inspiration!  The talent represented at these meet-ups is no joke!

Can you believe these gorgeous flowers?  And we're not big fans of snakes, but what girl doesn't love a little snakeskin purse or shoe now and then?  So a snakeskin wrapped bouquet doesn't seem so far-fetched after all!

Vintage plates were the perfect showcase for our name cards, double backed with ebony and burnt sugar cardstock, and the menu, backed with ebony and slate gray.

Isn't this fun?!  We are so pleased and impressed with how everything came out!  We want to give our thanks to Christina and Samantha for inviting us to be involved with this shoot (our very first!) and to all the incredibly creative women who pooled their talents to bring their vision to life:

One-Year-Old's Birthday Bash

Sweet little Emma just turned one!  Her mommy asked us to design her party papers, and we had such fun!  We started with the fabric Ashley bought as the inspiration for her party theme -- deep pink, purple, lime green and turquoise blue flowers, birds, and dots.  What girl doesn't love that?!

Her party favors declared, "I'm bubbling over with thanks that you came to my party! ~Emma"  She's just one and she's already quotable!

The Sweet Little Cakes by Donna that are ALWAYS a big hit!  We had more than one person ask us, "Can we eat them yet?"  Yes, they're that good!

 

The Birthday Girl herself with her Auntie.  She's very pleased with her party.

Beautiful July Wedding

Our dear friend asked us to design the extras for her son's wedding reception.  We were, as always, so happy to oblige.  The color scheme was a beautiful combination of different shades of purple and the venue was a country club with a spectacular view. We were particularly blessed to witness the union of this special couple and to enjoy the truly lovely people that surrounded them with love and support!

New Shower Invitation

We did this for one of our dear friends who is giving a shower for another one of our dear friends.  We are VERY happy with the way it turned out!
