This may be the last wedding post that I subject you to on this platform. Mostly because the bulk of wedding photos have more to do with the people than design, and I do try to keep this blog somewhat in line with the theme of creation. If you want… Read More »Wedding Decor Sweetheart Table
Happy New Year! May 2023 bring you exactly what you need. I’m still digesting 2022, and the big wedding reception that consumed most of the year, but looking forward to the changes brought about by the new year. Today I’m posting a few photos of wedding décor details, like the… Read More »Wedding Décor: Details
Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season! Back now with another wedding highlight; this time, tablescapes that are just screaming to be added to Pinterest, but I’m busy. We chose this venue with its refinished rustic barn because the whole scene looks complete with minimal décor. Wedding décor is… Read More »Wedding Decor: Tablescapes
Last week I detailed the long process of finding and purchasing the bulk of my rustic, medieval-inspired fall wedding reception. This week, I have a few preview photos of how the décor all came together. These pictures were taken during rehearsal set-up where I directed a small army to put… Read More »Wedding Décor, an Overview
This is a post about shopping for wedding decorations, because I can’t make everything. Especially not the organic items; I need farmers and tanners for that bit. Starting in the spring of 2021 I started my long and particular hunt for the more elaborate wedding decoration elements. The ones that… Read More »Sourcing Wedding Décor
Here it is! The big reveal: complete wedding looks and a preview of professional wedding photography by Red Letter Photography. My fall jewel-toned color scheme came together just as I envisioned (and carefully planned) it. It can be a challenge to plan a collection of looks when the focal point,… Read More »What We Wore: Professional Wedding Photography Sneak Peak
Now that the date has passed, I can show you, strangers on the internet, the wedding invitation suite that I designed for my vow-renewal and wedding reception. Forgive the weird color-variation that occurs between different browsers. Themed weddings can be a bit tricky to do well. A theme can easily… Read More »Wedding Invitations Design
We did it! The vows are renewed, the wedding is celebrated with friends and family. The day has past. I have not even begun to process the day and all its details. Events moved so fast it seems that every moment deserves dissection, but we’ve barely slowed down enough to… Read More »We Had a Party!
I have finished all seven doilies which are to be the base of a certain type of centerpiece for my upcoming wedding reception. I enjoy crocheting, but not stitches or patterns that require me to count very high, because I like to crochet while I’m doing other things, like watching… Read More »Seven Textured Doilies
The bridal jacket is finished! For now… I started this project well over a year ago when I decided that having a jacket option for an October wedding would be a safe plan. I wanted to have the jacket finished over New Years, but supply-chain issues made getting fabric and… Read More »Bridal Jacket
On May Day, my mother, and dear friends and bride’s matrons threw me the most beautiful Beltane Bridal Shower. I have been walking on air for days reading over everyone’s heartfelt cards, and unpacking a generous mountain of gifts. We had a perfect day of sunny warm weather after a… Read More »Beltane Bridal Shower
Now that the event has passed, presumably without a hitch, I don’t know, I wrote this blog post ahead of time, I can show you, the internet, my Bridal shower invitation design. The theme was Beltane, as the party fell on Beltane, and I love a good feast about gardening… Read More »Bridal Shower Stationary Design
Happy New Year, everyone! Thank you for joining me in 2022. I had a little time off over the holidays and my biggest project was to construct myself a bridal jacket to wear at our wedding celebration later this year. The project is going great; the pattern that I chose… Read More »Bridal Jacket Work in Progress
Surprise, we got married! In a terrible year of pain and loss, we took back space for a joyful event and made our commitment official. Unlike other couples who saw their wedding dreams dashed by covid, our wedding happened as it did because of covid. When Jake proposed over Labor… Read More »Eloping in 2020
After seeing them all over Pinterest, I decided to make myself a trendy, convertible “infinity dress” to wear to a friend’s wedding. This style of dress is appealing to me because it can supposedly be worn an “infinite” number of ways, hence the name. Well, I’ll tell you right now that… Read More »Formal Infinity Dress
I have recently completed the largest sewing commission I’ve ever accepted. Very rarely do I accept commission work when it comes to garment construction; it is very time consuming, mistakes are costly, fitting another person is challenging, and the price tag is often prohibitive to most of my would-be clients. But for… Read More »Large Evening Wear Commission Complete!
