Inspired Conversations: Courtney Spencer of Merriment Events

Today I’m welcoming Courtney of Merriment Events to the blog for a great Inspired Conversations interview. Some of you who are wedding blog junkies (like myself) may know her better from the Little White Book blog, where she collects great inspiration that will really get the wheels in your head turning. What is your design [...]

Tasty Treats from Sweet and Saucy Shop

I think by now it’s pretty well established that I’m a sucker for great pastry design. It’s natural, then, that Long Beach, California-based Sweet and Saucy Shop has recently made its way into my heart. Not only is everything they do ridiculously cute and well-crafted, but they’re incredibly versatile too. Their wide variety of pastry [...]

Simply Beautiful Photos from Simply Bloom Photography

Nothing delights me more than finding a delightful wedding photographer that I hadn’t been aware of before, and when I found Simply Bloom Photography about two weeks ago, I was ecstatic. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the cross processing style, and I love the hint of it they bring in. There’s [...]

Sources for the Crafty (or Budget) Bride

It’s high time I start compiling all my favorite sources for you guys, so here it is: the beginning of a never ending list. The ultimate goal of this post is to not only to expose you to different vendors when you’re looking for something specific, but to also assist you in comparing prices for [...]

Beautiful Details from A. Hana Design

My jaw dropped when I saw San Francisco-based A. Hana Design’s portfolio. As you can tell from the small sampling of images above, it’s absolutely stunning! Asako Han’s color sensibility and taste level is fantastic (and she gets bonus points from being from my favorite city to say aloud – Hokkaido, Japan!). The website is [...]

Beautiful Botanicals by Spruce Floral

One of the hardest things to impress me with are flowers – presentation is really key, and there’s a fine line between “opulent” and “outdated”. It’s even more satisfying to me, then, when I find a florist with an excellent taste level – particularly when they can work in a variety of styles, from modern [...]

Cakes to Love from LovinSullivan

Not that I really need a reason to show you guys cakes, but I thought we were overdue for a portfolio review. Best known for their work with Amy Atlas and Real Simple, LovinSullivan‘s cakes are stunners! They’re elegant but at the same time unexpected and whimsical. They make me smile each time I look [...]

In Love with Our Labor of Love

It’s been a while since I did a photographer portfolio post, so I figured today would be a great opportunity. Our Labor of Love makes me want to drop everything and go back to art school and study photography – yes, their work is really that inspiring to me. I love their combination of romantic [...]

A Charitable Sample Sale from Bella Figura

You may have already seen this on other blogs, but in the event some of you hadn’t seen it, it’s too great an opportunity to pass up. Bella Figura, a company that makes some show stopping letterpressed invitations, is currently offering their samples to brides for only $1, rather than the usual $5. For the [...]
