Modern, sleek, unusual; I like these aluminum table numbers from Gauge NYC.  They have a clean simplicity that feels really fresh.  And they have some really cute initial jewelry in their shop, too!

Happy Memorial Day and Happy Wedding Weekend to Baylor and Daniel!

Happy Friday!

“He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them one by one before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-colored disarray. While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher – shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple green and lavender and faint orange with monograms of indian blue. Suddenly with a strained sound Daisy Bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily. “They’re such beautiful shirts,” she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. “It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such beautiful shirts before.”

The tale isn’t exactly a love story, but one thing you can take out of it; the right clothes can create a new man.  Clothes tell the story of who we are to the world and on your wedding day all eyes are on you.  If you’re a white shirt kind of guy, have one custom made for you.  If you’re not, go wild!  Color, print, stripes; have fun and express your personality.

Everyone loves a beautiful shirt.

Two things that girls love?  Their phones and their monograms.  It’s a fact.  So do your girls right and snap up a few personalized phone cases as bridesmaid gifts!  There are tons of pattens and colors on Etsy, the hard part will be to choose!

Dear Engaged Couples:  Fields, farms and the beach are so played out!  Get yourselves to a studio for an engagement session that feels both modern and timeless and makes you look straight out of the pages of Vogue, à la Lauren Bush and David Lauren.  I’m always struck by the beauty of these simple sessions, the lighting, the fashion….portrait perfection.

Attention Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers fans!  You’re loving this, right??  I thought so.  Perfectly frameable for your wedding and deserving of a place in your home long after, these pretty prints from First Snowfall are just too sweet for words.  Also in their shop, gorgeous custom cake toppers and all kinds of stationary including hand-painted wedding invitations.  And I kind of love these Will You Be My Bridesmaid? cards that look like paper dolls….it’s all pretty over at First Snowfall!

A few images from Amanda and Javier’s pretty wedding this past Saturday at the Thalatta Estate!  Check out all the lovely florals by Ines Naftali!

Congratulations, you two!

I took a little Etsy break last week but I’m back with the perfect prop for your engagement session.  It’s pretty, it’s hand-painted and unlike a real bouquet, it’ll last forever.  The House That Lars Built crafts these beautifully detailed, giant paper flowers to order, meaning you can customize them any way you want, including the flower type.  So pretty!  And perfect for a photo booth too!

We’re al the Thalatta Estate again tomorrow for Amanda and Javier’s wedding!  Congratulations you two!

A little sneak peek of the lovely inspiration behind a photo shoot that I’m working on this afternoon.  Classic, organic beauty, coming to life at Villa Woodbine…I can’t wait to share the results!
