Raw Beauty

Friday, April 3, 2009

I have recently discovered some pretty amazing design blogs and I have begun collecting images to use as inspiration for my own home. I have come across a certain bathroom on two different blogs and though it should be shared. It is quite different than what one would see in the south, but its raw nature is simply stunning. I could look at these images all day. Especially the last image. 








Good Design

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

I am such a sucker for good design. I am the marketer's dream consumer. I am all about packaging and how a product is presented. Today I went to Trader Joe's to restock my barren fridge and cabinets. In the chip aisle I spotted some Kettle Corn and the packaging was so cool. Below you will see what I am talking about. It is old fashioned and really fun. And yes, I bought some. 





The Inspiration Board

Thursday, February 26, 2009

So, I have finally put together an inspiration board for the wedding. I have been gathering images as I read wedding blogs and from my other random searches for inspiration. So here you go. I hope that it meets everyone's expectations and I hope the actual wedding comes out to be even more beautiful. 


Also, I promise a more personal post is coming soon. I actually started writing one last Thursday night and got so tired I couldn't finish it. Very soon! Promise. It has been super busy around here and will be until I get on a plane next Thursday! 



The Wedding: Bridesmaid Dresses

Thursday, January 29, 2009

One of the things I thought would be the easiest to find and decide about were the Bridesmaid dresses. However, it has turned out to be a very long and difficult search. Here are a few I have found that I like the most. As always, I would love to know your thoughts.

Invitation Inspirations

Thursday, January 22, 2009

So, even though our invitations are designed (by Aaron!), I wanted to post the inspiration for the invitation. I think we were able to capture the best elements of the inspiration invitations and I am so very excited about how well our invitation came out!


I loved the monogram on this invitation. 













I liked the use of color and the design elements. 









                         
I liked the horizontal design of this invitation,
as well as the pattern used on the left.

                          
                                                  









I liked the look and feel of the handmade paper
and the design pressed into the paper at the bottom.










I liked the use of one bold graphic in the corner. 









The pattern used and the way in which the names
were incorporated into the design was appealing.













The "Arts and Crafts Movement" feel of 
this design made it feel vintage and the
simplicity was stunning.
