For their inspiration, they looked to a French countryside tea party and will be creating a sweets table to fit the theme. Yum! (I am hoping this involves French Macarons – if so, please save me one, ladies) Actually I think they are going for a more rustic, textured vibe which I think will be just lovely. Here are some of their great inspiration images for reference.

Doesn’t this look lovely? I can’t wait to see what they do in person!

A Blumen Bouquet Painting

It’s been gloomy all weekend, but I’ve found it to be the perfect weather to put up my Christmas decorations and start another painting.

You’ll remember the beautiful bouquet that Blumen created for Sarah and Ernest’s fall wedding that Estera Events coordinated….

Welp, Sarah and Ernest have chosen a composition…and I love it!

Isn’t this a lovely representation of Sarah’s bouquet….especially in a 20 x 20 inch format?

Lots of great updates to come about this one….

Cheers!

Meet the Teams – Inspired Creations Contest part 4

I hope you have been getting excited about all the teams we’ve introduced you to for the first ever LIVE Inspired Creations Contest. These are going to be a nice addition to the 100+ amazing vendors who will be showing at the event.

Our fourth team consists of a super group of the following wedding vendors: Petal Play Design, Image Icon Photography, Pemberley Events, 11 Eureka Boutique. They have come up with a lovely little concept titled “Love, Up In The Air”. Now get those thoughts of George Clooney out of your head because this is a different “Up In The Air”.

Their table setting & chuppah are inspired by a photo they found of a couple in a hot air balloon. They are also working on a few other surprises which I wont give away just yet. You will have to come to the show to see for yourself! For now I’ll leave you with the inspiration board they submitted.

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.
