Wedding Inspiration Boards, Styled Shoots, and Fashion
We've had Annette, the brilliant designer behind Chaviano Couture on the blog before (read our interview with her here) so I'm beyond thrilled to share her fabulous new fall 2013 collection with you today. These gorgeous wedding dresses were shot by the lovely Melissa Schollaert and she did such a fantastic job of capturing what makes Chaviano Couture gowns so special - the exquisite and thoughtful details! Isn't that hand painted gown the most amazing … [Continue reading]
You know the feeling when someone asks you how to ride a bike and wants you to explain it? Or how to write? It is something you inherently know how to do... something you can do without thinking. But when you try to explain it to someone else it seems impossible to put into words. Well, that was the feeling I always got when people asked me how I create color palettes, or to explain why certain colors go together so well. I knew it in my bones and I knew it when … [Continue reading]
Our zodiac signs series continues today with this lovely lavender wedding inspiration board inspired by the traits of brides born between June 22nd and July 22nd: Cancer! Brides born under the Cancer sign are delicate and emotional creatures. Prone to moodiness, they are quick to retreat and have difficulty sharing their innermost feelings. These brides are the first to laugh, the first to cry, and kindness and gentleness defines their everyday interactions. … [Continue reading]

This modern vintage loft wedding inspiration board was requested by Amanda for her winter wedding in Kansas City, Missouri. Amanda is getting married at The Bride and The Bauer (picture detail of the interior of her venue is in the top left corner) and requested something in orange, teal, navy, pink, gold, and ivory in a "vintage with a modern twist" style.

Domo Adami is one of the most well-known and best-loved labels on the Italian wedding scene and I'm beyond pleased to present this gorgeous shoot from Monica Monimix Antonelli Photography showcasing Domo Adami's exquisite work! Monica mentioned that she "had the opportunity to meet Mauro Adami (Domo Adami). From that came the idea to experiment and give free rein and poetic form to create photos of his gowns photos full of emotion, intimacy, and delicacy." And … [Continue reading]
I'll admit that I had a hard time naming this wedding inspiration board. I floated between urban grunge and grungy prepster (not intended as an insult!). I landed on urban grunge because if you asked me to envision a city wedding with a hip, young, independent kind of couple, this is what I would come up with. A little bit of chic (because it is a wedding after all) mixed with modern graphic elements, a splash of industrial, and a dash of personality. One aspect … [Continue reading]

The art is beautiful, the gowns are stunning, and there's a total sense of awe in seeing how much they look alike. That one turned into the other is simply wondrous! … [Continue reading]

I thought that a series inspired by all twelve of the astrology signs (whether you believe in their accuracy or not) would be fun and this is the first. Be sure to tune in each week to catch yours! Capricorn (Dec 22- Jan 19) is an earth sign thus the browns and greens in this inspiration board. A Capricorn bride is a hard worker; a go-getter who enjoys the finer things … [Continue reading]
