Before spring fades to summer, use wildflowers to add color and life to your photography.  Wildflowers add a natural, timeless feel to your images while giving your photos texture and color. There are endless ways to edit these natural beauties. You can get a light, soft feel similar to the image below. You can also go with a burst of warm or cool color like the last two photos.

 ”When I am creating anything for my site I try to keep a few things in mind: cost, creativity, quality & nostalgia. Every bride is totally unique and should be adorned with one of a kind items! Because several of my items are created with lovely little vintage jewelry pieces, I can guarantee that it would be the only one of its kind! All of the materials used are the top of the line- from the high quality French lace to the Swarovski crystals. I try to push the envelope with designs. It keeps me from getting bored with my work and allows for a very diverse shop!”-LAUREN

“I just released one of my newest product ideas- Do-It-Yourself veil kits! This may sound challenging, but in fact- it is the opposite! These kits come with EVERYTHING you would need (even the needle & thread!). I have come up with 2 main types of veils: traditional and birdcage. The step-by-step illustrated instructions make it so easy to understand. The instructions explain how to put a veil on for a secure fit & which way is appropriate for certain hairstyles. There will be no rushing back across town because you forgot to buy something at the store. Best of all, this is geared toward the budget-minded bride. The prices are so much more reasonable than any bridal boutique without having to compromise quality.” -LAUREN

celebrate pastel

April 3rd, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Uncategorized - (Comments Off)

Pastel, an editing style?

Muted colors, lots of cream shadows, and popping teals and blues are brushed over these beautiful wedding day details. The style seems to reflect the feel of the Easter celebration. “According to the canonical gospels, Jesus, rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. His resurrection is celebrated on Easter Day or Easter Sunday”- Wikipedia  What is more perfect for a spring celebration than soft whites with romantic pinks and blues?

All of the photographs were found here, Bonjour Tristesse. If you love the pastel, melancholy look then you might spend hours here perusing the images.

more about kelly-”Born into a family of musicians, artists, soap-makers and sheep-farmers, it was only natural for Kelly to pick up on her own creative skill at a young age. At 15 she got her first camera and fell in love with photographing people and things around her, but after a while that wasn’t enough. After receiving a 35mm Canon film camera as a gift she began experimenting with all different kinds of photography; lomography, polaroids, etc. This eventually led to her collecting vintage cameras. She shot her first wedding for a friend at age 17 and was hooked from there. Nowadays Kelly travels back and forth between her East Texas hometown and her new home, Dallas for shoots ranging from family portraits, kids, maternity, fashion, parties, weddings, films & more. She loves to get creative so if you’ve got an idea or have some questions for her you can send an e-mail to [email protected]!
