lights, camera, celebrate

Lights are so incredibly magical. I think the focus falls to heavily on candles and not that I don’t love candles and have a house full of them but string lights are truly magical. I just finished up our backyard and we swung lights out to a tree and back to the house. It’s just gorgeous. And then there’s the whole next level of a tunnel or a ceiling of lights… stunning.

guest blog: for the love of art {& love} on Etsy

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

It’s a happy Friday and exciting to announce a small curated collection of art by yours truly on the beloved Etsy. Art is a FANTASTIC gift for a wedding. Most newly weds DO need plates, towels and the bare necessities but they also typically have some pretty sad, blank walls. I think if you can find crowd pleasing art (or if you know them really well and can get specific) there is no better gift than ORIGINAL art. Most of us can’t afford it but Etsy makes is accessible and there’s tons of amazing talent. I shop there all the time for interior design jobs. I love that it supports artists and creative people and it brings it into someone else’s home.  Check out the full post here.

Since the boutonneire is the only place in which the groom has bit of floral perhaps he should have his say about its design too! Here are a few great ideas for the groom including wooden flowers, cotton and an heirloom piece. – Adam Rico

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign! Couples can speak through their photos in many ways. Why not use words, be direct, say I LOVE YOU with words!

sucker for scallops

May 14th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Style - (Comments Off)

Scallops. The repetition, the soft sweet side of geometry. This feminine arc based textured can be seemingly modern or all together purely classic. Today a look at scallops in fashion. So lovely.
