vintage valentine

February 13th, 2013 | Posted by Hello Love in Flower | Parties - (Comments Off)

Flowers, sweets, and cards are the trademarks of Valentine’s Day! In this romantic holiday shoot we wanted to create a cozy garden nostalgic feel complete with a cuddly kitty! We gathered inspiration from precious vintage paper Valentine’s with imagery of kitty cats and hearts. We used a super soft color palette of pinks, peaches, corals, salmon and creams with playful pops of fuschia! Loose and lush florals add a casual, unfussy, garden vibe to this affair. The quirky ceramic cat bride cake topper adds a playful element, along with the milkglass hands and vintage ceramic cat vase! Swirled and heart shaped french macarons are creative and yummy. A decadent marble frosted cake with a floral cascade completes this vintage valentine wedding.

It is hard to sum up the wedding of Apryl and Jon in only a couple of words. Their wedding was colorful but in a soft romantic painterly way and it was eclectic but in a modern refined way. It was bohemian mod vintage garden magic! Read more and see more from DWeddings and Ruffledblog.com.

Stamps have always been a hot collectable… but not exactly for young women planning a wedding. Recently we’ve seen a resurgence in vintage stamps on wedding and event invitations. Some couples spend their entire engagement collecting cool vintage stamps that represent them or the invitation recipient. (For example you find some stamps about quilting and knitting for your aunt who likes to sew.) It’s just another part of your invitation that you can customize and coordinate. Higher face value stamps are harder to come by so you should snatch them up when you can. (Check your local YellowPages for stamp stores.) You could always put a relatively old stamp (say 1990s) paired with an interesting 1 cent stamp from 200 years ago. Make sure you get uncanceled and unused stamps. You’ll end up spending a little more than face value (the amount shown on the stamp) but your guests will be wowed!
