Hair Decor

These are the headbands for the flower girls and a redone version of my hairpiece.

I love the little flower girl headbands. I'm not completely sold on using them though yet—I have to see how well they match the dresses that are being made for the girls.






I had posted a previous hairpiece for me, but I had nixed the feathers so I made a new one that fits the new look. (The old one is for sale if anyone's interested.) =) The jewelry on the inside—rhinestones—is a vintage earring. The matching earring is on the old hairpiece.

All the little details keep coming together! 1 month and 1 day!

Guestbooks

I created my guestbooks for our wedding in a way that mirrors the different fun elements that we're using in the wedding—pinwheels and birdcages. These books actually took a lot of trial and error since gluing fabric to book-board is a bit difficult without ruining the fabric. I love how they turned out though—all the stitching and the colors and the hint of orange beading.

Oceantastic

The ocean is always so inspiring. It's always changing, always new. My God is the most creative artist ever. Many times artists look to other artists for inspiration—why not look at God's art? And the ocean is one of His best canvases.

While I was at the beach, I also got to do a mini photoshoot of my sister and her boyfriend. And of course, we had the perfect backdrop.

Zoo!

I haven't been to the Greenville Zoo probably since I was about 12. So it was really cool to go there today with my fiance and see what all has happened in the past 10 years.

God is so creative. It's just really cool to see his different pieces of art. Enjoy.

Wedding Invitations

These are the invitations to our wedding that I designed. I'm so happy with how they turned out. Now we just have to finish stuffing those envelopes!

The Imagination of a Child

Sometimes I wish I still had the mind of a child. I'm happy with who I am now and I've grown through mistakes I've made—and I'd never give up those experiences because they've made me into the person I am today, but to go back to having the mind of a child....



Children are so beautiful. They look at the world with fresh eyes, they wonder why there is such a thing as "can't", they create with such abandon.

I had the opportunity to help my friend Amy out with a school project by taking some photos of her nephews and niece. When I saw the little girl's My Little Ponies, somewhere a rewind switch turned on in my brain—remembering when I used to play with those beautiful colored unicorns, ponies, and pegasuses. Or in my book, the best kind where the hybrids that were BOTH unicorn AND pegasus.

I'm so thankful that I can work with children on a regular basis. They bring such joy into my life and let me see a new perspective of the world. Take time to celebrate, to cry, to laugh, to dance, to sing, to forgive. We were meant to live. Live your life with abandon.
You only have one shot.

I haven't posted many wedding things on here recently and since I'm getting married in less than 3 months (WOOT!) I'll be stepping that up more. Here's a peek at invitation envelopes and flowers.
