Phenomenal Films – Vidicam Productions

July 22, 2010 | editorial team

Get ready to have a summer crush! Both this adorable couple, Elizabeth and Armie, and the brilliant concept of using a wedding film to document not just the story of your wedding day but also the story of your relationship, have got us hooked. Talented filmmaker Steve Dangcil of Los Angeles’ Vidicam Productions interviewed Elizabeth and Armie for a “He Said, She Said” film all about how they met and fell in love, and the result is like a sweet love letter to one another. To be able to look back at a film like this many anniversaries from now, and show your future generations the beginnings of your love story? Genius! Take a peek at their darling interview and their gorgeous wedding day video as well…

Images from Elizabeth Messina’s A Lovely Workshop

July 21, 2010 | editorial team

In May, the incomparable wedding photographer Elizabeth Messina hosted a workshop in France, and the photographers from around the world who attended experienced a week of creativity and astounding beauty that they will surely never forget. Our own Junebug co-founder Kim and her husband Adam worked along side Elizabeth to make this event come to life (the chateau where the workshop was held was the location of Kim and Adam’s wedding a few years back, which Blair and I were so very lucky to attend!) and so today we are able to show you a glimpse of the photographic magic that took place during that special week. On Photobug we have the images taken by Elizabeth herself (go take a look!), and here we have the beautiful wedding inspiration that was captured by the A Lovely Workshop attendees. Enjoy!

The location, the straight-out-of-a-fairytale Chateau St. Julien l’Ars

Vintage Handkerchief Wedding Invitations

July 20, 2010 | editorial team

vintage handkerchief wedding invitations and save the dates from Bird and Banner

Wedding invitations these days are becoming more unique and more creative than ever before. Brides are no longer limited to paper choices for their invites and save the dates, they can choose from an array of different mediums, including vintage textiles.

We love this recent wedding project from Bird and Banner, made specially for Grace Bonney of design*sponge, for her recent nuptials. Each invitation was screen printed on a one-of-a-kind vintage handkerchief, including a few handkerchiefs from the family’s personal collection. Grace and her fiance were able to personalize each invitation this way, by matching colors, patterns and styles to each couple’s personalities and tastes. As an added personal touch, many of the male guests arrived at the wedding wearing their “invitations” as pocket squares!

In another collection of invites from Bird and Banner, the team based their designs on the bride’s French flea market theme, printing her wedding invitations on vintage handkerchiefs as well, and finishing the look with a black silk ribbon and monogrammed tag.

 

vintage handkerchief wedding save the dates from Lucky Luxe

These save the dates from Lucky Luxe, made for photographer Alisha Clark’s wedding, are another great way to incorporate a unique vintage flair into your wedding. Mixing and matching vintage hankies instead of new ones ensures that every guest will get something unique in the mail.

Such pretty and creative ideas!
