As I shared earlier in the week, I have a bit of a passion for architecture. So when I tell you that I am obsessed with Julieanne and Bryce’s wedding, you’ll understand why. Held at Lost Mission outside of Austin, they started the day with an absolutely stunning backdrop. Add in bursts of cheerful color and …
Summer wedding ideas
I am so excited about today’s wedding, because the bride, Annie, is a longtime reader. The wedding she and Andrew planned is the definition of sweet and intimate. Andrew, an executive chef in New York City, even prepared the food himself! Both Minnesota natives who coincidentally met in Philly at the airport while traveling back …
Last spring I was contacted by the incredible Kelly Stremmel about teaming up on an editorial shoot, bringing together some of Central New York’s finest wedding vendors. A series of emails sharing inspiration flew back and forth, with Kelly and I teaming up to bring to life what is, hands down, my favorite shoot I’ve …
July 4th weekend is always one of my favorite times of year. Somehow it just seems more carefree than any other holiday. There are long summer days of frolicking about and evenings filled with s’mores and fireworks. What’s not to love? Before I run off to the lake for the weekend, here’s a final dose …
With July 4th just around the corner I wanted to play with the idea of a summery color palette with an Americana feel that wasn’t necessarily traditional red, white and blue. I love how calming and breezy this color combination ends up feeling, like a good old fashioned weekend at the beach. In fact, it …
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 …
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. …
So here’s the thing about the Inspired Creations Contest. I just love seeing how different teams can take the same rules (spend no more than $500; incorporate a little glitter and glam; make something beautiful) and come up with such wildly different ideas. All beautiful. All unique. Today’s entry comes from Bella Rains Garden Studio …
Today’s color palette was inspired by one of my fabulous event design clients (hi, Lauren!) and her love for this gorgeous real wedding on Snippet & Ink. We’ve been talking about shades of peach and blush for a while now, and I love how those colors look paired with ivory, gray and a punchy shade …
When I saw the pretty picnic wedding of Ashley from Ashley Brooke Designs on Elizabeth Anne Designs a couple of months ago, I instantly loved all of the sweet details Ashley designed. There was the cutest lemonade station and a big spread of food so guests could pack their own picnic boxes. Lawn games like …
As promised earlier, I’m back with another beautiful wedding inspiration shoot from Ashley Pepitone, this one inspired by the sights, sounds and smells of a country fair. Think popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs and game tickets and you get the idea. A fun, upbeat and nostalgic celebration guests are sure to remember fondly for years …
This morning’s Inspired Creations Contest entry is the first of two from Ashley Pepitone, a budding event designer. Inspired by summer days spent on her grandparents’ farm in Massachusetts, Ashley was inspired to create a design that would be reminiscent of frolicking about the fields and raiding the strawberry patch for fresh, sun-ripened berries. She …
