Both wing back chairs are mine (they are not pictured on my site).

I LOVED these shots!  The sky looked so amazing too.  Chairs are mine but the bike was not…though I wished it was!

This guys mustasche was insane!  And yes it is real…

I had some fun with this shot.  I threw in some old windows (circa 40′s)…

…one of the last shots of the day!  I was so in love with all the fall leaves…everyone had so much fun as you can see…no fake smiles necessary .

This image was shot by the lovely Lane Ditto a ways back.  I loved this shoot as it was based all around chocolate!  There were lots of awesome vendors that all worked together for this shoot and I just love it when we can all work so well together and it does not seem like work at all…just a bunch of people creating!  I had an awesome assignment this day: to style the chocolate desserts made by Cupcakes Couture MB!  I had kind of played around with the frames the day before and thought how fun it would be to show off the desserts in a fun way.  Shoot  produced by Leila of Be Inspired PR …and was featured on Green wedding shoes.  This was shot last year but again, I will be posting some projects that I never got the chance to put up… oh me oh my!

This was also a favorite shot of mine.  I was actually wearing my LOVE ring and thought how cute would it be to use in this shoot?  I love to throw in last minute random things…sometimes less thinking is better!

…SO it has been quite some time since I have blogged.  I have been asked by so many people, why I have not had any new posts up and I say, well it has been quite a year!  I do feel better when many other vendors have admitted that they can get crazy behind on their blogs…it is because they are working so much they literally have not time and always working on the next project!  Still, no excuses why it has been this long, but I pride myself in always keeping it real and will always continue to do so.

      This last year was amazing.  I was able to work with so many amazing people and was lucky enough to be asked to be a part of some awesome shoots.  As many vendors also know, I did have to split my time with another job and will admit it was hard to juggle at times but I made it happen.  Along with that, I was starting to see a change in what I was being needed for.  I had lots of fun, unique pieces but many brides were needing many more quantities of them.  I completely understood this but I loved having my eclectic mix of props and was noticing I was getting more and more inquiries to do style shoots…which I loved!  It was such a fun way to be absolutely creative and collaborate with other vendors.  Even though I was renting props I was also always up for styling and it was a natural thing because whenever I bought a new piece, I would come up with so many ideas on how to use it!  I started to get asked to not only bring my props but to help style as well.  The more I did it, the more I was knowing this is what I meant to do!  

I love this journey that I have been on the past 2 years and will continue to just see where it goes… I admit I am a true “Creative-Romantic at heart”.  I still of course have my awesome and funky props and some (that are not even on the site) have never been used…I liked the idea of having some under the radar to keep for special projects ha!  I am a lover of fashion and all things home decor and plan to keep stepping out of the box and cannot wait to see what this year will bring or projects I will be a part of!

Above: I wanted a flirty name for our signature drink… no stuffy shower here!

I had to use my famous Door Table!  This seems to be a staple now my family parties.  We rented the chairs and grey table cloths, but I made the lace runners and finished the look with simple bud vases which I love.

A cute little dessert bar.  I took a vintage frame and added lace behind it and the yellow ribbon for a little pop of color.  The felt yellow flowers were a total impulse buy but ended being a cute little add in for the desserts!

Always the detail junkie…  had to have these Martha Stewart picks.

Initial napkins for Andrea and Tom.  One of my new favorite yellow vases.

I loved this large arrangement from Isari flower studio…so gorgeous.  Our model for the day had tatoos that I thought worked perfectly to add that edge for our gothic inspiration.

Desserts provided by opera patisserie with a great backdrop of the church pane.

Jill captured the light so beautifully here:

Last but not least one of my personal FAVORITES … when we had our model play with the lace…
