I’m loving today! Not only did the new site debut, but I also have the chance to share a really fun inspiration shoot shared by a group of local Syracuse, New York wedding vendors. It’s not every day I get to showcase local talent so when photographer Mabyn Ludke sent over this edgy shoot infused …
I am really excited this morning to kick off the week by introducing you to the shiny and new The Sweetest Occasion! (Subscribers, be sure to pop over and pay a visit!) On the surface of things, you’ll notice that the site has a fresh new look, which I teamed up on with my lovely …
My oh my. Where did another week go? We are loving the first official week of summer here. The dogs have been sneaking into the pool as often as they can and we’re tending to our gardens, looking forward to loads of fresh tomatoes later in the season. There’s also a lot at work behind …
I’ve been mildly obsessed with wanting to make homemade popsicles lately and now that the summer heat and humidity has shown up in full force, I’m thinking I have to make it happen. I love the idea of making homemade treats to beat the summer heat. Using fresh fruits and even champagne or prosecco puts …
It may be my architecture background, but I absolutely love colored pencils. I keep an over-priced set at my desk for sketching and doodling so I fell in love with this DIY pencil holder shared by Andrea of Strawberry Chic. You can bet I’ll be making one of these as soon as I can score …
I’m a long time fan of MaeMae Paperie over here so I shouldn’t have been surprised to fall in love with these incredibly sweet custom wedding invitations Megan recently created in partnership with the bride, talented illustrator Debra Chow. Debra created a series of illustrations reminiscent of Polaroids depicting different scenes from her relationship with …
This week’s color palette was inspired by a Facebook fan who chimed in on my call for color palette ideas with a request for coral and gray. It seemed like the perfect color palette for the first week of summer so away I went! This really is the perfect combination of colors for summer weddings. …
Hi all! It’s Jenny from Hank + Hunt bringing a “I saw it and had to make one” kinda DIY. While I was visiting family, I saw the cutest little display of cupcakes in a shop window. Among them, a single cupcake stand, maxed out in shiny sparkles. The girl didn’t know the source, so …
I love a crisp, citrus cocktail during the summer months. Vodka and gin are my spirits of choice. Mixed with something sparkly and a couple wedges of lime, lemon, blood orange or grapefruit, you can’t go wrong. To throw a casual, crowd-pleasing cocktail party this summer, mix up a couple of pretty drinks and include …
Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent a lovely weekend at home on the lake with my family and am excited to kick off a great week. I have lots of exciting new projects in the work that I can’t wait to share soon. In the meantime, I’m loving this …
Good morning, friends! Sorry for the lack of posts this week – I’ve been traveling for various obligations and there just haven’t been enough hours in the week. No worries though. I’ll be back next week with lots of pretty. In the meantime, feast your eyes on this gorgeous, colorful wedding from Elsie Larson from …
Dani from Studio Fleurette shared these lovely florals she recently created and I loved them instantly. I’m a sucker for flowers clustered in vintage vessels and milk glass never gets old for me. I also love how centerpieces look with just one or two colors with minimal greenery. It’s a great way to create a …
