I hope everyone had an awesome Labor Day!!  In keeping with the theme of the last post, I thought I’d share some more designs and prints that could inspire just about anyone!  Old School Stationers is a talented letterpress company based on the west coast with organic ideas.  It’s common for a couple getting married to use their shared hobbies for the theme of their wedding, especially in the favors so why not take it to the next level and use the theme for invites, etc!  Love the retro camping series that they have on their site and the leaves! Check out the wall prints!  Not sure if they do custom orders (worth a try though) but definitely take a peek for color and wedding design ideas!

I don’t need to say much for this post but “oh my god”! We’ve seen nature used in many wedding invitations and themes…but this - this a fresh new take on it all!! The wallpapers from this home-fashion store will inspire and make you aww! Check out Ferm-Living via the Husmusen blog. If anything, buy your house/apt. something new :)

It’s about time I finally shared this info with everyone! Your wedding album and any additional wedding keepsakes should have that extra care and touch. I’m sure many of you have done your homework when it comes to what each wedding photographer offers (if you haven’t - be sure to!), so it really comes down to preferred style. I offer each couple a custom album with every package, it’s important to have something nice to showcase off all that emotion and hard work put into your big day!  All products offered for portraits too!

Friday!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Yesterday, I helped another photography studio with post production and discovered this incredible unity candle alternative idea that the couple used. Instead of having the common unity candle lighting, the couple had a money tree at the altar with two tiny water pitchers. They each grabbed their pitcher and watered the tree. The money tree is said to bring good fortune and luck to those who place it in their home. I love this idea because you can keep the tree in your home without it screaming “wedding” like a engraved candle that would burn out. More ideas and traditions… (more…)

I want one just to have around the apartment! These ring pillow designs are breathtaking and the most unique I have ever seen. Most of us think of pillows (which are still classic and traditional) but how fun to have something completely different. I especially love the way they are displayed and photographed, very feminine and gentle. And the best part….very inexpensive for such custom work!! Check out the rest of the Muscari by Easter Yu Etsy shop!

How incredibly cute!  Dogs are being incorporated into weddings more and more so why not give him/her an official duty!  Reggieana offers a variety of ring bearer pillows but this dog one featured above is by far my favorite!  Currently sold out of this particular design, however, custom designs are offered so don’t hesitate to ask!  Visit the shop!
