10/10/10

My Mom & her fiancee (now hubby!) got married on Sunday, 10/10/10. The weather couldn't be better and the day went smooth. They had their ceremony and reception in a small museum in Philly. It was an intimate, family affair and was so fitting for the happy couple. I took their wedding photos- I still have many photos to go through, but here is one of my favorite. It was taken at the Philly Art Museum.  My Mom looked absolutely gorgeous and her hubby cleans up well too :) I'll share more later!

sneak peak - wedding invites

last night I spent hours cutting paper for my Mom's wedding invitations.  they artwork consists of fireworks and stars and the color them is red, white and aqua blue (my new favorite color combo) I'm very excited to get them all pretty & finished. Here is a sneak peak of how they are coming along...

NYC

i've been a lazy blogger, so much going on this week- including making wedding invitations for my mom and today we went to pick out her flowers. very exciting. here are some pictures from a trip to NYC 2 winters ago. we went for an indesign course for work... at the time they were using quark. quark = not my favorite. anyway, enjoy!

p.s. what would we do without control + z ????? i love it

Virginia is for lovers.

It's been almost a month since Mike and I got married. Time seriously flies! We went to Virginia Beach for our honeymoon because...... Virginia is for lovers, of course. We had a blast. We stayed at a B&B, Beach Spa Bed & Breakfast. I highly recommend it. I could totally live there- we were a little skeptical about staying at a B&B because we didn't know what to expect, but it was amazing. There is so much to do in VB and if you don't feel like doing anything, you can be a beach bum at the gorgeous beach. We even saw dolphins while we were on the beach- which completely discouraged me from going in, hehe.

Matchy Matchy with a Pantone Wedding!

What an amazing idea!

One of my biggest concerns with my pink and green wedding is worrying about the pinks and greens being shades off! This especially happened when I was searching for shoes. I wanted pink shoes that matched my bridesmaids' "watermelon" dresses from David's Bridal. I ended up buying dyable shoes from David's Bridal.






Now- brides even crazier about matching than me - can use pantone swatches to match everything. Loving this website!

Here are some inspiration ideas from them<3

China/Lenox/Kate Spade

Today I went to the Lenox Factory store with my future mother-in-law in Egg Harbor Township. There are AMAZING deals.. they sell slightly flawed products as well as non-flawed products at huge discounts. I could get lost in there! I can't imagine working there... I would have a set of china for every season.

I was going to go with Lenox's Silver Song.. but they don't have many coordinating pieces.

So I decided on Lenox's Vintage Jewel collection. Mike and I picked this one out together, it's a timeless collection and I'm super excited about it. I also love the tea cups.. they are elegant. A lot of sets only come with mugs, which I'm not crazy about.

I will never stop getting excited about Kate Spade. I love her use of vibrant colors. Although my china is not Kate Spade...

I did register for this adorable Kate Spade Larabee Dot vase.

If you're wondering why I haven't been updating lately.. it's because I'm busy planning a wedding. I never knew how many decisions would have to be made. It's hard because I (like every other bride) want everything to be perfect and I don't want to make any wrong design choices. I picked my flowers out Saturday, with Laura from Savannah's Garden. She is awesome and I am so excited about my flowers! My colors are pink & green and we are going to add a little bit of orange to spice things up. Here are some pictures of her work from her website.
