Chewie's Family Photo
I'm so excited to share this photo of Chewie and I with all of you. Chewie is a new addition to our family. She has been with us for about six months and as we all know there is no better way to welcome a new family member then with a photo session.
This gorgeous photo was taken by a fantastic photographer named Kerry Shaw. Make sure to check out her website and portfolio.
Ideas, Ideas, Ideas
As the wedding planning moves along the ideas have started to come together. With the wedding about ten months away we've picked a date, a theme, a venue, I've got my dress and the save the date cards are almost done. I've also picked a colour palette - yes a whole palette not just a colour or two. And this palette of greys, pinks, oranges and purples, along with our vintage modern french theme (inspired by our style and venue) has started the ideas flowing.
And I've started gathering supplies and inspiration. Above, a delicious grapefruit soda that has a hint pink colour makes me want to serve sodas with striped straws, the grey and white twine will function in a few different ways, and the candy in all the colours of my palette will add a bit of fun and whimsy.
This candy makes me think of beautiful jars filled with sweets and served up with scoops and tongs, with something for everything it's like a self serve candy store.
Working on a Wedding
As some of you know I got engaged in January and it has been a whirlwind ever since. As a graphic designer and stationary addict the idea of planning a wedding and designing invitations is an exciting one but there were things to do first. You have to set a date, find a venue, and design the feeling you want your wedding to have.
So...how do we find inspiration? And what do we have to consider? At this point you have to look at where the wedding is going to be, what time of day, how formal, the dress and most important what do you love. After answering all of these questions and considering my ring and dress and time of year I have decided to describe it as
MODERN. VINTAGE. FRENCH.
My inspirational group of items include - french macaroons, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, le labo, vintage florals, pops of bright color, and a little glitter. This took some time, we're getting married next spring so the colors of macaroons mixed with grey seemed like the perfect colour palette. My style is a mix of vintage and modern from my clothes to my cocktail ring collection. I want the type on the invites to be modern with some vintage floral illustrations to add romance and whimsy. And lastly I have always loved Audrey Hepburn, Funny Face, Fred Astaire and Motown. The colors have been chosen and the invitations are in the concept phase. I have a couple things to try will keep you up to date with all of my DIY ideas without giving too much away. What would your dream wedding concept include?
