CameraRenter.com- Digital Camera Rental and Photo Sharing for your Wedding

February 11, 2008 | editorial team

Being a photographer, I’m all about taking lots and lots of photos, anywhere and everywhere! For weddings and parties I love the concept of adding to the photographic fun with disposable cameras set out for your guests, but unfortunately, the reality of what happens next isn’t all that great. Paying to get lots and lots of prints made, throwing out all those camera bodies and non album-worthy photos, trying to figure out how to share the pictures with your guests… not so fun and not so eco-friendly. Fortunately, with all the new digital options out there, there is an easier way!

I recently met the owner of a business called CameraRenter.com that offers a simple way to supply digital cameras to your guests and share the images afterwards on a personalized photo sharing website. You place your order on-line according to the number of guests at your event, and the rental digital cameras arrive in the mail ready to be used for photos and video throughout your big day. When you’re done, just send them back with their prepaid return postage and within a week you’ll have a website up that you and all of your guests can visit. You can download images, order prints and DVDs, and guests can even upload images from their own cameras to share with everyone else. Cool! Camera Renter reuses their cameras, shipping materials and batteries, and you print only the photos you love the most, so it’s a great green wedding favor possibility.

Check them out for yourselves, and be sure to use one of our special Junebug discount codes for 10% off their all inclusive packages (thanks Camera Renter!)

10% off all inclusive 30 camera package code = 135.00_3994b9b3fc6367
10% off all inclusive 20 camera package code = 92.50_3894b9b3fc6367
10% off all inclusive 10 camera package code = 49.50_3794b9b3fc6367

UPDATE: Oops, sorry everyone, looks like I had the discount codes written down wrong. They are now correct, and if you had any problems using the old versions please let me know and I’ll do my best to get your discount taken care of!

Wedding Fashion Inspiration from the Spring 2008 Runways

February 8, 2008 | editorial team

New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is coming to an end after a week packed with gorgeous designs for Fall 2008. I dream of the day I’ll get to attend such inspirational shows, but until then I’m quite happy to pour over the amazing images and descriptions from Style.com and my favorite fashion blogs. Since fall 08 seems like an awfully long way off, and at the moment I am seriously craving some sunshine and spring time, I looked back at the big trends that Style.com reported from the Spring 2008 collections and saw a few that directly relate to wedding and bridal party fashion. I can’t wait to see how these striking looks are incorporated into wedding styles this spring and summer by all the creative brides out there! Which one is your favorite?

Damask Decor for Weddings

February 6, 2008 | editorial team

Back in October I wrote a post about damask wedding day design, and I still get questions about it all the time. Damask is such a gorgeous and classic pattern, and recently it has made a huge comeback as both an elegant, traditional look and and as a funky, retro, visual dynamo. I love this pattern both ways, so I scoured the internet looking for some more fun damask wedding ideas. Enjoy!

I love these hand painted damask canvases in brown, berry and aqua by Thomas Paul,

 

and these fabric art panels of traditional flock damask design printed on a fine silk background in black and damson damask, available at Graham and Brown.

 

Graham and Brown also creates these stunning damask wallpapers, perfect for the DIY bride looking for gorgeous crafting paper for damask wedding invitations, damask place cards, damask favors, and more. These colorful patterns are just amazing!

Or you could go with their creamy, tone on tone beige or light beige.

 

Fabric stores like Joann Fabrics usually carry all kinds of damask fabrics like these driftwood, beige and green designs, or if you’re having trouble finding fabric, try buying inexpensive window panels like these solid and sheer options by Waverly at Target. They have lots of yardage to be made into damask table runners, napkins or other table linens.

For DIY projects, these cool damask stencils from MyStencil.com could also come in handy.

 

For damask printed wedding favors check out these fresh verbena and lavender soaps by Pop Ink at Day-Lab.com, and for thank you gifts for your girls check out these pretty 3 piece votive sets and single candles by Archipelago Botanicals Royals.

 

Last but not least, my favorite items (because I love to organize!) are these bright and colorful damask printed office supplies to help you keep all your wedding planning information in order. Keep odds and ends in this silver and blue damask storage tote from Target, tidy up your work space with Thomas Paul’s pencil cup, wedding magazine holder and desk tray, keep your ideas in order with Thomas Paul’s file folders, and jot down all your inspirations in Thomas Paul’s mini notebook trio, all available at SeeJaneWork.com.
