Beautiful Painting, Beautiful People

I really and truly love all of the vendors I get the chance to work with. Never have I been in an industry where everyone is so helpful, generous, talented and basically good people. Since I work at home solo, getting to work outside the “office” with others that completely enhance my work day is incredibly gratifying. With this being said, Maureen and Kevin’s painting is finished! Check out this loveliness…

Don’t you just love these colors!

And now the two people that made this painting possible….and I’m not talking about the bride and groom. Because Maureen and Kevin booked their painting with me after their wedding, I had to rely on their vendors for the details. Lucky for me, I was able to work with florist Megan Musschoot of Pistil and Vine and Darcy Demmel of Darcy Demmel Photography.

If you haven’t stopped into Pistil and Vine yet, go! Megan has a lovely store front with a vine covered ceiling that transports you into a wonderland of sweet smells, products and, of course, flowers galore! Though her shop and talent are fabulous, I really cannot say enough about her as a person. She is so sweet and kind-hearted that you feel an instant connection with her. There are a couple of projects we have in the making, so this certainly isn’t the last time you’ll be hearing about Megan.

But wait, there’s more

Meet the Teams – Inspired Creations Contest part 3

It is time for another introduction. Up this time is a proposal for a ceremony arch. This entry was selected since it wasn’t the usual table setting but instead will inspire some ideas to dress up your own ceremony spot. (Remember that earlier post on creating a focal point?)

This twosome is comprised of Kio Kreations & Hazleton Photography. They have submitted a concept titled “A Whimsical Salvage Chic Ceremony” and I know everyone will be blown away when the see it come to life at the winter Indie Wed event. Their entry included a bunch of sketches but I don’t want to give away too much. Instead here are a few images they sent in as inspiration for their concept.

Meet the Teams – Inspired Creations Contest part 2

So yesterday we introduced you to our first selected team for the Indie Wed Inspired Creations Contest.

Today’s team is the duo of Grapevine Floral & John Dart Photography. The concept of their proposal is for the ultimate vintage, cozy, winter wedding. Think flannel shirts, vintage hankies, knitted mittens, candlelight, and snowflakes. The inspiration board they sent over is just stunning and I can’t wait to see how they transform this into a live vignette.

Meet the Teams – Inspired Creations Contest part 1

During the last week, we (Ami from Elizabeth Anne Designs, Cyd from The Sweetest Occasion, & I, Kelly from Indie Wed) went through the batch of proposals we received for our first live Inspired Creations Contest to be held at the upcoming winter Indie Wed. There were a ton of amazing entires but we had to narrow it down to a mere six. We were inspired by all the creativity and decided to choose the most diverse group we could in terms of styles as well as ideas they were presenting.

I want to take some time over the next week or so to introduce you to the six teams with a very small teaser as to what they will be presenting live at Indie Wed.

First up is the team of:

Maypole Studios,
Love Lulu Mae,
Busy Beaver Buttons
& 3 Line 9 Productions.
Their concept was for a photo booth area for your wedding that combines the hypothetical couple’s love of vintage as well as music. The photo booth will be interactive and involve a cool giveaway for guests. Their inspiration? Think, Boardwalk Empire! How cool is that. Here is a little inspiration board they sent along to give us a little idea.

Holy Geronimo!

So I previously posted about creating a focal point in your ceremony or reception area. I do think decor and setting a mood is important. What could be more fun that these amazing balloons, yes balloons, by Jihan “Jihanimo” Zencirli and her company Geronimo!

Now I know these have been all over the web during the summer but I was getting all excited about them again and just wanted to share for those who may have not seen them before. I think they are just stunning and so much fun.

Balloons at weddings aren’t a new idea for sure but can you imagine how much fun these would be at your reception? You could have them scattered about the room or perhaps have one as the centerpiece at every table. Can you imagine!? Would you have balloons at your wedding?

Take A Seat

I was married 7 years ago, this past August. While I wouldn’t change the groom or the actual ceremony, I do wish I could redo a lot of the details. We planned our whole wedding in 6 months and I made most of everything from my dress to the invitations to the centerpieces. Perhaps I’ll do a wedding flashback post one day soon.

Of all the things I would want a do-over for, table numbers and escort cards are on the list. While I think the standard tent-fold escort cards on a table are perfectly fine, along with the traditional number on a stick in the middle of the table, I know we can do better. Here are a few of my favorites at the moment.
