After a very exciting day of shooting for the next issue of Nonpareil Magazine, I was absolutely delighted to find this lovely dessert table in my inbox from Shauna Younge. This lovely lady was the brains behind the gorgeous silver, white and purple buffet I mentioned in an earlier Week in Review post, and I’ve [...]
In case you missed it, Kristen posted a fantastic do it yourself alternate to the brooch favor box featured in the first issue of Nonpareil Magazine. Instead of having to find a large number of vintage pieces, she’s created a lovely paper-based version that is incredibly gorgeous and versatile. Go try it out! Image from [...]
Yummy baked goods? Check. Convenient post card format? Check. No need for excess paper in the form of an envelope? Check. I recently stopped contributing to Minted’s Design Challenges for personal reasons (if you really want to know, e-mail me) and I was looking through all the things I had created for them in the [...]

Kapitza has a series of lovely botanical [...]
As I’ve alluded to previously on Twitter, Kristen from Paper Crave and I are collaborating on a top secret project together that we’re both incredibly excited about. We’ve been making a lot of progress, and each time I’ve tweeted about our progress I’ve mentioned that if I had a mustache, I’d be twisting it, making [...]
Almost a year ago (New Year’s Day, to be precise) the Inspired Bride was born. It completely blows me away that a year has passed already and this blog has flourished beyond my expectations. To be honest, if you asked me when I started where I’d be at this point, I’d probably say I’d be [...]
I came across the Pattern and Palette Sourcebook book series from Rockport Publishing and I am already head over heels. It should be no surprise, of course, since I’m constantly designing patterns for work and for the blog. Each book is a feast for the eyes and I love that there’s a great twist that [...]
