Sometimes, if you want to see your wedding/photography on a wedding blog, all you need is a drop dead gorgeous location. Location, location, location. There aren’t any details here. Nor are there any getting ready photos or pictures of the favors. No, my sweet readers. There is just a snowy landscape and a gorgeous bride and groom. That’s all it took for me to insist of sharing Josh’s images from Bella Grace Studios.
I am absolutely delighted that I get the honor of sharing this too-cute-for-words Valentine’s Day Inspiration. Lauryl Lane took a Valentine by Victoria Hoke Lane of Caligraphos Ink and created an entire tablescape for two based on the card! I love that she used an unexpected purple color!
Here’s the first picture that Lauryl took for inspiration:
Here is the table completed, shot by my absolute fave, Bonnie Tsang! Florals and styling by Lauryl Lane. Calligraphy by Victoria Hoke Lane of Caligraphos Ink.
How much do you love the heart shaped paper doilie garland? This really makes me feel like maybe I should do something special for my guy this weekend. How about you? Got any plans or gifts that involve a little creativity?
I don’t know where to begin. All I know is, I’m absurdly jealous of designers like Elizabeth Dye, whose store The English Department, completely embodies everything I define perfection to be. Elizabeth Dye’s new Spring 2010 Collection is feminine, simple, and elegantly detailed. This is on a VERY short list of dresses that I’d track down to try on. Lisa Warninger is responsible for such gorgeous photography of well deserving dresses!
Photographer Kelly Hornberger is so freakin’ sweet. I can tell just by her emails. I can also tell that she’s from the south. She had an accent in her emails. I swear I can tell! (I suppose the fact that she’s based out of Houston was a big clue…but really. Her writing has an accent!) Anyhow, I think her recent session with Claire and Brent was just too cute to pass up. Great location + fab photographer + cute couple + really fun activites. Done deal.
People, I can’t tell you how much I love when couples pick a really fun location like this… something that they’d do on a date perhaps. There is so much fun stuff to shoot!
Be sure to check back in a little later this morning. I’ve got a gorgeous little post on a designer that I’m currently crushing on hard core!
Be still my heart, be still. Can someone call my boyfriend and tell him I want one of these???
In fact, Rifle Paper Co. would be my go-to place for these perfect Valentines if I were back in elementary school and I had to bring Valentines to all my classmates. I’d be the most popular girl in school…that is, of course, assuming that 9 year-olds care about good design. Which they don’t. But if they did…and if my time machine were in working order, then…
I’m super crazy about Dana and Robert’s cutie pie ensemble they wore to their engagement shoot. Her little skirt (or is it a dress?) is killer and you KNOW I have a weakness for suspenders–they’re delicious. Special thanks to Micah Dahlberg for sending over his gorgeous photography! Happy Thursday!
Megan from MaeMaePaperie has gone and created another paper suite that has my head spinning, it’s so cute! Love love love The Gilly Suite color combo (though of course you can customize it to match your own color scheme). Sweet baby orange…

I don’t think it’s possible for the Marvimon House to produce an ugly wedding. I think it’s a conspiracy of some sort. While I work on figuring out the conspiracy, take a look at these beautiful details sent over by Annie McElwain. If I’m not mistaken, Annie’s work was recently featured in Real Simple Weddings Magazine (on newsstands now!), so be sure to check her out!
I thought I’d finish a rather productive Tuesday with a cutie little idea I saw over on That Unreliable Girl. How darling are these mustache coffee cups? I could totally see someone having these at a late night coffee station for guests that have partied hard and need a little java for the ride home (because who doesn’t love java to go?) If not mustaches, I’m sure something personalized on your “To Go” mugs could be really fun. (So add it to that growing list of DIY projects!)
The mugs were designed by Sonya of the Matchbox Project and you can read more about them here.
Love all the quirky details from Jenny and Jeff’s wedding, which was sent to me by Choco Studio. I particularly adore the succulent centerpieces, which are SOOO DIY friendly. They last forever and look so great stuffed in all sorts of unique little containers. I hope you enjoy! Happy Tuesday!
