Blush and Green Wedding Inspiration!

Most brides would not think to bring together pink and green on their big day. However, I think these two colors paired together make one stunning wedding. The boldness of the green is made more feminine with the beautiful underlying tones of pink throughout. Enjoy!

Ruffled Feature!

 I am beyond excited to share this recent shoot with you. It is one of my favorite ever! The European inspired design turned out so romantic and timeliness! The shoot is being featured on Ruffled. Please click here to see it and read the story behind it.

It is all in the details…oh the details! Thank you Laura Murray Photography for the amazing photos!

A Claire Pettibone dress that is to die for from Little White Dress paired with a champagne colored veil:

The back of the dress is just gorgeous too:

We specially picked a  lovely vintage cameo ring to compliment the oval shapes on the back of the dress:

and I love the other accessories provided by Little White Dress as well as the guy’s accessories, a classic Burberry watch and this awesome bow tie:

Calligraphy by Trial By Cupcakes

Complimenting the calligraphy stationary is the amazing painted cake with love poems on it by Three Little Blackbirds (who cakes taste as good as they look  I must add!)

The cake backdrop made out of vintage book pages and antique vanity trays (made by yours truly)

Crystal and brass candlesticks…which sparked a new obsession of mine:

The gorgesous flowers from Pink Posey Design

Gold flatware (thanks Brenda!):

Matching Gold Chairs

And of course a venue that is just filled with history and roses everywhere

To contrast all the femininity, we wanted to add something in for the guys; and what guy does not like whiskey:

and we couldn’t forget our gorgeous models- Diandra Reed and Cameron Wilson (hair by  Alex Sternberg and make up by Kelsey Zabawa Makeup Artistry):

This shoot was a delight to design and coordinate. It would not have been possible without the lovely and talented vendors:

On To Baby Feature!

Today we were featured on On To Baby (a wonderful  style blog dedicated to all things baby including baby showers, birthday parties, maternity sessions and more) started by the team of one of our other most favorite blogs: Wedding Chicks. The feature is about a Vintage Outdoor Movie Party for Zach and Michelle of Revert Photo three year old- Holden. This party had some great details: a movie reel cake from Intricate Icings, a photo booth, ice cream from Higgy’s,  homemade cotton candy favors, and classic cartoons- what fun!

Here is some of my favorite photos from the party:

Couture Colorado Feature

Awhile ago I had an idea for a styled shoot. Something in the mountains, natural colors, lots of details- very Colorado if you will. I loved pulling it all together. I also loved when Couture Colorado decided to feature it yesterday! Please click HERE to see it.

A big thanks to all the lovely vendors who helped make this shoot possible:
