#148 DIY Light Shades

Remember me? Finally back up & running after a ridiculous stretch of computer problems.
Whoever it is out there with a little voodoo collection consisting of the majority of my electrics?
Thanks for easing up.
I have certainly realised that a back up plan is required! In the meantime I will be keeping my fingers crossed that I've used up all my technological bad luck for a long long time...

Lets get back to the good stuff shall we!?

These fabulous rustic chic light shades are via a very easy to follow diy tutorial on Project Wedding.
Even though I didn't get around to making these before our wedding I will definitely still see they turn out & if I am happy with the result, hopefully I can convince one of my lovely brides to let me work them into their big day! I'm also interested to see how they could be adapted to be a candle/tea light candle holder.



Speaking of tea light candles, here's a few that would look gorgeous as decor for a rustic event or as features for an event with neutral tones.

I adore silver birch & actually, just any kind of birch really? It brings such a stunning aesthetic to both event decor & home interiors without being overbearing.

It's good to be back!

#137 Dreamy Wedding w/ Bottle Place 'Cards'

The first time I saw this photo my heart skipped a beat.
I actually have it saved to my laptop, every now & then I have a peek just to put some extra lovely in my day.
It's the little things right?!

It's actually THE most awesome escort card set up. Isn't it such an incredibly stunning idea?!

 

It's not just the escort cards though, the whole wedding of S+D via Duet Weddings, with photography by Max Wanger, is just delicious. It is so much of what I wanted, outdoors, rustic, intimate & gorgeous...

 

Don't you wish you were there?
Dreamy.

#57 A Little Bit Of Background...

Today I was talking to a friend about being the photographer for our wedding photobooth,

& in trying to explain that by 'photobooth' I didn't mean the kind that are the box type that you actually get inside, I did a quick google image search to illustrate my point.

This is not the first time I have done this search, in fact I've drooled over backdrops many a time.

But not like this... never like this...

For a moment there... I was breathless.

Breathing again yet?

I was saying just this week how much I wish we had been able to find someone who's property we could get married on so that we would have time to set up fantastical things, & to live near our reception venue so that I could collect things that we could use without the headache of trying to figure out how to transport them across 2 states...

Oh universe, why must you taunt me so?!

Just lovely.

Happy weekend sweet things
