Wedding Watercolors by Anne Watkins
Junebug reader and bride-to-be Steffanie tipped me off to the beautiful artwork of Anne Watkins, and I am in love! Anne is a watercolor artist whose work has been seen in many, many wedding magazines as well as being regularly featured in The New York Times and Harper’s. Her paintings are so whimsical and intimate while still being utterly modern and chic, what a perfect combination. How incredible would it be to have a painting […]
Wedding Dress Preservation
In chatting with my new friend Sally Jacobs, author of The Practical Archivist Blog, she brought up a great topic that often gets overlooked- wedding gown preservation. What in the world are we all supposed to do with that big beautiful dress once the wedding is over? How do we take care if it? Lucky for us all, Sally had these same questions after her own wedding and dug in deep to find out what […]
Damask Wedding Design
Damask, it’s a classic pattern that packs a big visual punch! It’s elegant and glamorous, and at the same time bold and graphic. Using the pattern in your wedding day decor could work equally well at a formal black tie evening event or at a funky modern afternoon party. I got an e-mail the other day form a reader looking for resources for damask patterned decor, and here are some of the great finds I […]
Old Fashioned Photo Booths
After writing the last post on daguerreotypes, and thinking about other fun ways to incorporate photography into wedding planning, I realized that something I’ve seen guests go wild over at weddings are photo booths! All guests, from the little kids to the grandparents, seem to get wrapped up in the fun and have a blast taking photo after photo! These days there are all kinds of booths available to rent including lots of digital options, […]
Your Very Own Daguerreotype
Remember seeing those old, old photographs in your history textbooks that looked rich and gray and slightly mysterious? If they were from the mid to late 1800s, they were probably daguerreotypes, an early method of photography that created a negative image on a mirrored silver surface that was then reflected back off the mirror as a positive image. How cool! Making a daguerreotype is a time consuming process using all kinds of delicate chemicals and […]
Bright and Colorful Wedding Favors
Traditional wedding colors used to be simple and subdued, but these days anything goes! Bold, bright and playful color palettes are just as common as the classics, and wedding suppliers are following the trend with more fun choices than ever to express yourself through your wedding style. I love the bright and quirky color combinations of these favors by on-line shops Karen Smallbone and Telliegrams. They have lots to choose from for fabulous wedding decor, […]
Wedding Day Survival Kits
I recently learned about these Wedding Day Survival Kits from P.H.E.W. (Practical Help for Every Woman) and I have to say I’m a big fan. It really is such a help to have all these little supplies available on your wedding day. With so much going on and so much fun to be had, the last thing anyone should spend their time doing is running around trying to find a needle and thread or a […]
Fall Fruit Decorations
The four seasons evoke such distinct feelings, memories and nostalgic qualities that incorporating them into your wedding day design can create an atmosphere your friends and family will love. A simple and beautiful way to decorate a fall inspired wedding is to incorporate fall fruits into your creative ideas. Apples, pears, pumpkins, gourds, tangerines, pomegranates, cranberries and kumquats are all part of the fall harvest and make such pretty additions to seating cards, cake decorations, […]
Emmy Award’s Bridal Looks
It’s officially award show season, my favorite time of year! Last night kicked it all off with the 2007 Prime Time Emmy Awards and there was certainly some wedding inspiration to be found. Gorgeous white dresses of all shapes and styles were seen strutting the red carpet, the most bridal of which had to be the structured Zac Posen number worn by Katherine Heigl (winner of Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series- congrats Katherine!)
