Not only did I have the pleasure of shooting their wedding (check out their engagement session) I also designed their invite. I love how this turned out. All one color to keep costs down but with that fun zig zag chevron pattern on the back, it just gave it that little more quirkiness. The beautiful letterpress was printed by Sharon at Papermum Press.

Erin and I had our first "Orphan" Christmas together. Just us and enough food for 10 people. It was a nice excuse to go to the flower mart and set a lovely table. :)

I processed this more funky.... I debate whether I like funky or simple. I think each pic to its' own. It depends on my mood or the mood of the photo...

Photography has taken over my life... in a good way. But I still love to arrange flowers to keep myself creative. So I made a floral crown for a recent engagement session. What do you think?

I've been updating our photo blog so much I just have been ignoring my own... I have a project I am thinking of right now in the world of flowers... but trying to find the time to do it might be a hard one. I went on a hike today with Erin and saw the most wonderful wildflowers that I might just go out again tomorrow with some cutting shears and cut myself enough to make a bouquet. Just for fun.

I have just finished up a few projects for a couple different brides. The first one is a fun Bridal Shower invite with some confetti and glitter bling. using the inspiration from the brides Manolo Blahnik wedding shoes and the fun Neiman Marcus location, I was excited to go a bit crazy with the girly feel. I made custom labels to go on the vellum envelope, exposing all the custom confetti inside

I have been so swamped with wedding shenanigans that I have seem to have lost my way in my own love affair with art. I am behind on my current artists, and haven't been to a gallery or museum in over a year. Yesterday I was just introduced to the works of Jacob Hashimoto. I realize he has been exhibiting his works now for years but he is new to me. I am just in love with the depth of his pieces

Her content smile in her eyes, the soft light, the open field behind her, her rosy cheeks and the apple that matches them, the sweet blouse that reminds me of one of the pillow cases buried deep in my mom's lenin closet from her 70's bedroom that had been washed over and over so it is so soft.

I just am in love with this invite. A photography client of ours asked if I could help them with their invites as well. The groom drew the 2 sweet pictures of them and helped put together the design for them. The invite is just so perfect for them. Simple, sweet, delicate and just stunning. They are just about the nicest couple ever and we couldn't be more excited to photograph their wedding in

This was a collaboration of talents for this invite. :) Right after I was done printing the envelopes, and had printed the first color for the invites, the press had a moment of retirement. As it is a 100+ year old press, this can

This, by far, is my most popular invitation suite. If not this one then a variation of it. This one in particular has 2 color letterpress invite, tear off RSVP post card, a tea ceremony invite insert, Thank you cards and digital printed directions card. A little twine, a little wax and it's done. I love the ecru paper so rich and creamy. :)

Our 2 year wedding anniversary was yesterday....mmmmm love. The 2nd year is cotton. Since we are both pretty bad at giving presents on present giving days :) we usually go out to dinner and do funny stuff to celebrate. So for our cotton present we each made one another a cotton ball animal. Erin made me a "Gerb-amb" combo of a gerbil and a lamb. I made Erin a "lyo-errier" a mix between a lyon

This lovely invite was designed for a wedding all based around "The Firebird" ballet. Old, colorful, fancy, and whimsy. A simple tri-fold invite sealed with a feather and wax. I can't wait to see this wedding. The ever Lovely Kristin from the Treasured Petal is doing the flowers. Apparently she will be using my invite as inspiration. :) I can't wait.

I will be doing the flowers for a magical wedding coming in late june. I wanted to do a mock up to make sure I could prepare the perfect recipe for all the centerpiece arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and ceremony set up, as it is a large wedding. The flowers will be a little wild, a little old world, but overall glamorous. They needs to look rich, but still organic, vintage, charming, but

Yes the Power of the kraft... envelope that is. This is by far the number one choice by 95% of my clients. The softness, the organic, and the overall "non-wedding" look of this envelope is what draws my clients to choosing them as the very first impression and peek at the wedding that their guests will see. You say white - I say Kraft. Her beauty is just her simplicity, especially when

Assembling the invitations can be the biggest challenge for a wedding couple. And my invitation designs are always a pain in the booty as I love suggesting fun elements like tea dying the paper to give it a vintage look or stitching to add some fun texture. A lot of my Brides fall head over heals in love with the ideas but it is not in their budget to have me do all the assembly and/ or sometimes

Not sure if it is the economy, the sudden explosion of DIY weddings, or maybe it is me? But things have been slow in the invitation front...I have lots of other stuff going on with our photography and my flower design, making May and June very busy and lots of fun. But I can't help to wonder What can I do differently to stay focused, motivated, and inspired right now? Blogging isn't one of them

I just finished this beautiful invite for a lovely couple in IRELAND. She wanted a elegant but relaxed invitation that really showcased the couples love for sailing and the ease of enjoying life but with out looking like a nautical themed invite. Flowing flowers and sailboats in the breeze. Their colors are mainly blues with her bridesmaids dresses being 3 shades of blue. So we chose to mix 3

I found this old WWII chest on the side of the road. It sits right at my front door and is what I use to take all {well, 90% of} my photos of my invitations and projects on. This little setup can provide the perfect spot for almost all my invitation designs. It has started to take it's toll in the rain but I love it. Since most of my designs have a soft vintage feel and rustic organic charm, what

I have always wanted a house with a Study. Just so when my husband calls out my name I can say "Dear, I am in the study..." So I got my inspiration for the next table top from that. A vintage study, lots of books, travel memorabilia, leather chairs and a cozy masculine feel but softened by fluffy white flowers...Here is a sneak peek of the table... The mod table should be on Once Wed soon...

I have yet again been asked by the lovely Emily at Once Wed to do another table top for her ever popular table top trends series on her website. Go check out her site with the feature. This one has been a long wait as the past couple of weekends has really been crazy and if not crazy then raining. I wanted a to design a table that really felt inviting just how I think frida's garden would be. I

As you can see I am trying to make my post titles a bit more catchy, to lure you all over here, and hopefully make you want to comment a bit more. I could just title every post "Anthropologie" that would definitely capture everyones attention. :)So here are 2 new bouquets by me. This one is for the Frida table top but is also a trial run for a June bride that I will be doing the bouquets and

I did! I used Candy Cigarettes for one of my table tops. GASP!! Not candy Cigarettes! How politically incorrect of me! Aren't those banded in the US? Nope! What else says 1960's Modern Paris Cafe based on the movie Breathless, then cigarettes? Nothing, and I am so cool for thinking of it. :) So here is a little peek at the Modern Table top. Deal with it! :) Okay so maybe this has to be a no-

I set up the whole Mod Breathless inspired table today...Boy is it girly (that is a weird sentence) However, I have been left cameraless and didn't remember until I had it all set up and went looking for the camera -oops- So I did take a picture with my really old not so great Polaroid, but will have to redo the table tomorrow and take real pictures. Or I can just leave it overnight... in my yard

So Here is photo #2 to entice you to view the table top at once wed come this week! Why is a Bull head dressed as frida kahlo brilliant well because it just is! Okay actually it is because my husband and I have had this head in our garage for 6 years trying to figure out a way to get rid of it and it just won't seem to go away. We have had numerous garage sales and no one buys it. Our plan was to

I am working on a few projects for some clients and myself. Here are a few digital files of what is going on behind the scenes... some are still getting tweeked others are done approved and ready to print. Fun! I will have a busy march of  printing! One is in the works for the "modern breathless" table top... Guess which one. :) (although I am working on another version this is the first...) I

Rain Delay, Bad? No Good! It gives me 2 more weeks to do 2 more tables. Because I will have already rented the table, chairs and boring linens for the Frida table top, I figured I might as well do a few more with the "base" or "limitations" of what a bride is given at a venue. I will be putting together a total of 3 table tops for Once Wed's table trends. "Frida Fiesta" "Modern Breathless" and

I just decided to make this!I thought it would be a cute idea for those that have fiancés that are into golf or those that are getting married at a golf club. I bought them in white and natural and painted some blue. You could paint them any color to match your wedding.What do you think? Cute? yes or no? I say Heck ya this is supa cute!!

Okay so it has been the most ridiculously gorgeous weather here in Los Angeles and I was planning to do the "Frida Kahlo Table Top" for Once Wed this weekend, but there is a storm a brewing and my Garden themed table just will not work indoors. So There has been a delay. It will not be done until the weekend of February 21st. So to keep those ants out of your pants I have taken a few pics of the

Here is the second invite concept for the table top I will be doing for Once Wed. This a more subtle, sweet and airy design. Very simple and whimsical. I based it on the flowers always worn at the top of Frida's hair with her braids that wrap up. Big fluffy flowers adorn her head all the time it is so beautiful. This would be a simple design letterpress and possibly tied together with some

I did 2 versions of the invite inspired by the table top design I am going to do for Once Wed. Look out Monday the 9th! The first idea was to make the invite like a fiesta mexican flag all tied together. I used a colorful ribbon to tie it all together by stitching it on all three pieces. I think a thinner ribbon would work better but this is just the base idea... :)This is more colorful and

These are quick photos of my wedding programs. I had made 4 versions of different collages of notes, drawings, journal entries and fun items {the giving tree} from our 10 years of dating that we gave each other. Some of them were in my husband's wallet for 10 years so they were folded and dirty but it made it more fun. I printed the ceremony program on the back with poem that I wrote in place of

As a wedding vendor there is something to say about having a "shop" or "studio". It gives a bit of mojo to your work. But as an Artist there is something to say about just having a "home" :) So as a self employed "wedding artist" I turned my home into my studio. It is small and I could definitely use a few more tables and chairs and storage. Our hopes will be to get a larger space this summer.

I have the pleasure of designing another table top trend for Emily over at Once Wed which I will have done at the end of this month. So here is my inspiration. Bright colors, rustic pots, vintage fabrics and tamales! I have challenged myself to using a round table with white table cloth, white napkins and boring white dishes.... everything most venues supply for weddings! :( I want to show that

It seemed to work just how I wanted it to. :) I just filled them with flowers and rosemary and kumquats from around my complex. The daffodils I bought at Trader Joe's, ten stems for like $2.

In Case some of you out there didn't know I grew up in near Napa Valley. I went to high school in Napa. Wow, you may think, how cool to grow up in Napa! Seriously, think about it.

We were surrounded by the utmost beautiful landscapes you can think of, fantastic weather, great restaurants and über fabulous people, but were
