Mod Pop | Styled Shoot from Matt McNeill on Vimeo.

 

“It’s not often that I have the opportunity to go crazy with a look: Blemished grain, washed out contrast, gritty locations, flawed colors… While the things happening in front of the camera could have been interpreted in any way, I was more focused on peculiarity than the actual beauty of it. Add some awkward camera angles and Alicia Rico and you’ll have modern pop! The music choice is a Les Gams (French) cover of a non-hit single by The Exciters, He’s Got the Power–– A Le Truc!”

love is blind

One of the big trends in stationery at the moment is blind letterpress. Basically, it’s letterpress but without ink. The result is a beautifully subtle pattern with some serious texture!

Polaroids, who doesn’t love them?? Even if you have a digital photographer to capture you wedding day you can always get creative by throwing in a polaroid or two. Look at all the fun things it can do…

the wheels on the bus

June 18th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Style - (Comments Off)

How great would it be to incorporate a bus? On the way or as part of the party (maybe as a bar?) — what ever you would do with it I love that it brings decor and festivity! Airstreams, Volkswagons, Double deckers, school buses… Looks like fun right?

 

happy little buses found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here  and here

DREAM WEAVER

June 15th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Style - (Comments Off)

It’s the unexpected kick, that hidden (or statement-making) bridal twist: The Braid. Whether Dutch, French, Grecian or simply fishtail, the options are endless. Tuck a tiny traditional ribbon in a sleek chignon, double-rope-wrap as a headdress or even stream a small number through a pixie. Make them soft and feminine or edgy and out there; add strands of silver or gold, flowers or berries, or wear them in pure form. Whichever way you twist it, they make a versatile, beautiful wedding-day do.

Much love,
