Inspired Creations Contest - 80's School Love

I've been keeping these images under wraps for a week now and I'm so excited to share them today. The Inspired Creation Contest held by Ami at Elizabeth Anne Designs and Cyd at The Sweetest Occasion challenged wedding vendors to team up and create a unique wedding concept to inspire couples as they plan their event.  I couldn't resist and rushed to create a star-studded team of local DC vendors which included, Kate Triano Photography, Holly Chapple Flowers, and Paperzest. Other amazing vendors that contributed to the design included Unveiled Bridal Designs for the veil, Vintage Mama, a new dress designer on etsy, and  Julia Juliette who created the letterpresses coasters. 

My absolute favorite part of the shoot was the "Boombox Love" guests book, where guests can leave message for the couple on their big day.  

Here are some of the fabulous immages, but head over to The Sweetest Occasions Blog to see more, and post your love for the 80's.  We would love to win! 

  

Carla David Design

At Carla David Design's open house event in Maryland, Carla got to show of her work and some of her favorite things. We had a blast tasting treats like cheesecake lollipops and enjoying the spiced hot chocolate bar, perfect for any winter event.  One of Carla's must have's was a beautiful Beegee Bag, which I have already requested for Christmas.  Carla customized everything for the open house from the cups at the hot chocolate bar, to the water bottles and the signs for the food and the desert bar. We even left the party with custom gift wrap and gift tags that I'm sure to use very soon.  It's that small touches that help make an event unique and special. Thanks Carla for the inspiration and sharing some of your favorite things.

Vibrant, Fun, Cultural Inspiration Board

I recently created this inspiration board around a Vera Wang dress and beautiful Bella Figura Invitation. I am also in love with Anna Maria Horner fabric and it was a perfect fit.
