When Heidi of White Loft Studio shared this wonderfully romantic anniversary encore shoot I was pretty much hooked immediately. As a girl who found herself rather surprised by how much she loved her wedding dress, I love this idea of putting your dress back on for a fun photography session, especially if you didn’t do …
Wedding Ideas
Today I’m excited to announce that after much consideration I have decided to consider bringing on a couple of select contributing editors to add fresh talent and new features to The Sweetest Occasion! If you are in love with weddings, entertaining, cooking, DIY, crafting, parties, handmade wares, paper goods or pretty things and you’d like …
For winter weddings or holiday entertaining, I love this pretty country chic table. Simple DIY centerpieces are made from inexpensive paper bags, fresh cranberries and elegant taper candles while a mix of textured linens and plaid lend undeniable warmth and a touch of comfort. Casual sophistication shines bright with this sweet, winter fresh design, perfect …
Hello hello and happy Monday, friends! I know the Monday after a long holiday weekend is never especially fun so I thought I’d start the week with some truly lovely winter wedding inspiration to get us all in the spirit of the holiday season. Think lots of sparkle, hot cocoa, a pine cone cake topper, …
We’re going international this morning with this beautiful bridal shower editorial shoot sent to me by Alessandra Aghilar of Almalu’s Place, an Italian wedding and event planner. This is the sweetest bridal shower spread with a lot of pretty (and yummy!) baked goods and sweet, simple details like vintage china, colorful embroidered linens, and lovely …
Halloween has come and gone and with every passing day the long, warm days of summer seem long gone. Can you believe it’s already November? The air is cold this week, the leaves have all but fallen and I know our first real snowfall is only weeks, if not days, away. I am really loving …
In the spirit of Halloween this weekend, I had to share this goth-inspired Halloween wedding inspiration shoot from Camilla Photography. With a cemetery location, the details are the epitome of gothic glamor and the look is all high style. There is a dark beauty to this shoot that just sings of Halloween – I personally …
Created by the folks at Lion In the Sun, a mainstay in the Brooklyn stationery world, and designed by an exclusive group of incredible Brooklyn-based designers and artists, I find myself falling in love with the newly launched PostScript Brooklyn. Offering a range of modern, urban-influenced designs, this inspired collection of wedding invitations is available …
I love Erin Jang’s design work because it’s always fresh and a little unexpected. These cheerful letterpress wedding invitations were a custom creation for Emily and Dan’s recent wedding and I just love how playful they are. They have a mid-century appeal, a fun smiley face custom envelope liner and showcase a great example of …
Switching gears this afternoon from the spooky to the pretty, I just had to share this pretty wedding inspiration sketch from Ashley Brooke Designs. (You might remember the beautiful sketches Ashley created for her own picnic wedding.) Ashley recently created this gorgeous illustration for Fresh Lime Events, showcasing a stunning table design loaded with over …
Good Monday morning, everyone! I hope you a lovely weekend. (How did it get to be Monday already, anyway?) I wanted to start the week off by sharing Chelsea and Ryan’s sunny Central Park engagement shoot, captured by Nick Gaswirth Photography. (Nick also happens to be their roommate – how fun!) While I don’t post …

I’ll be updating regularly with updates, news and linking to some of my favorite sites and scenes in the blog world …
