Pink Garden Party | Featured on 100 Layer Cake!!

Sea Studio — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:34:33 +0000

I am so excited to share this fun little shoot with you today! I was inspired by this colorboard from the ladies over at 100 Layer Cake & knew we had to use the gorgeous colors as the theme for a test shoot… Tanya at Elements in Bloom created the beautiful floral arrangements, and my very own mom baked the perfect, simple cake – which we adorned with a miniature arrangement in a pretty little crystal dish!

Our lovely model, Danielle, and her sweet little dog, Doll, brought the tablescape to life in my Aunt Mary’s beautiful Seattle garden…

…the sunset light gave way to dusk and pretty pink votives & burlap-wrapped mason jars lit up the table.

We used these little bags of “Seed Bombs” from Anthropologie as favors…

… grapevines on the table added a little more texture.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this shoot, and a HUGE Thank You to 100 Layer Cake for featuring us!! :)

In case anyone missed it at the Super Bowl, I thought we’d

share the ad that got us all choked up. :) Happy Friday!!

Love these dresses…

So, I’ve been admiring Sarah Seven’s designs for quite some time now, and decided

to share since there are so many newly engaged girls out there getting their wedding planning started!!

Sarah Seven is based out of Portland, OR and her designs are exquisite and feel like they came

straight from the couture shows in Paris. I love the idea of supporting small, local boutiques, especially since

weddings can be such big productions – and Etsy is such a great resource for all things handmade!

I think this one would make such a lovely wedding gown…

who knows, maybe she’d do a custom floor-length version?! :)

Happy December!!

Hooray!! The holidays are upon us, and we couldn’t be more

excited! It’s our first Christmas with our little one, and already I find myself

more in the holiday spirit than ever… we played our favorite Christmas music on

Thanksgiving Day, and I have a bowl of Hershey’s mint truffle Kisses on the

table – and all that before December even started! ;)

Anyway, in case you haven’t had a chance to check out Anthropologie’s

beautiful holiday offerings, I thought I’d share one of my favorites:

Isn’t it gorgeous?! They call it the “Mythic Nest Tree Topper” and

I’m so in love with it… it would be perfect on top of my Christmas tree or

oh-so-fun as the centerpiece on each table at a fabulous winter wedding!!

Since Anthro’s version is just a little out of my price range, I’m hoping

to get crafty and attempt to create one myself… I’ll keep you posted

if I have any success!

Happy December 1st!!

Because we love a great song…

As if we weren’t already pining for a tropical vacation,

our friend Molly sent us the link to the new Vampire Weekend

song today… and now all we can think about is a jaunt down to Mexico:)!!

Enjoy!

Wedding Dresses!!!

Since fashion drives so much of our inspiration for our shoots, I thought I’d share some of my favorite bridal looks from the Fall ’09 and Spring ’10 collections.

If you’re anything like me, choosing your wedding gown is one of the most exciting moments of planning the entire event… you may build your theme around the dress, or find a dress that fits the mood of your wedding, but either way it’s probably the most money you will invest in any single item of attire for the rest of your life – and you should have fun with it!!

There are hundreds of designers out there, but I pulled my favorites from Monique Lhuillier, Vera Wang, and – of course – J. Crew! These are so fabulous and dreamy, they have me wishing I were planning my own wedding all over again;)!!

Enjoy!

Inspiration – an italian love story

I fell in love with this beautiful little video that I stumbled upon this morning…it’s a short film that was actually made from 4,500 still photographs. It’s romantic and poetic & it will have you dreaming of a Roman love story of your own;)! Summer is almost (officially) here, and this has us even more inspired for wedding season!

Ciao!
