Jennifer Behr

March 4th, 2010

When planning her look for the wedding, Eunice knew there was only one place to go for her hair accessories – good friend and hair accessory maven, Jennifer Behr.  Jennifer created a custom headpiece (available here!) after a consultation at her fabulous Brooklyn studio…

Initial thoughts included a dash of hand-dyed fuchsia feathers and something rather dramatic…

Jennifer, working her magic!

The result was a delicate crystal tiara handwrapped in 1920’s vintage metallic ribbons. A spray of elegant ostrich feathers and floating crystals finish this breathtaking headpiece.

Jennifer also created beautiful little hand-dyed feather poufs to match each bridesmaids’ dress for a final perfect detail…

Working with Jennifer was a breeze – her work, as always, was pitch-perfect for the occasion and coordinated perfectly with the dress.

Magnolia Photo Booth

Little guests and photo booth

One of the highlights of Eunice & Daniel’s wedding was the photo booth from Magnolia Photo Booth. Guests of all ages absolutely loved it! In lieu of a traditional guest book, guests put their photos into an album with photo corners — the photos were also posted online after the wedding.

A key to the fun was providing all kinds of creative and funny props, which we hung on the trunk of a tree…

Eunice & Daniel’s Wedding Stationery

March 1st, 2010

Eunice and Daniel's Save the DateSTDP_HIGHSEAS_COA-FUC-POO_F_L

Since we’re stationers, paper played a big role in designing Eunice & Daniel’s wedding. The first piece of inspiration was Rob Ryan, the whimsical London-based paper artist. Eunice illustrated this letterpress save-the-date poster featuring silhouettes of her and Daniel, and their two dogs Indie and Simon, along with a save-the-date for their London reception.

Hello!Lucky Wedding Cake

We used the silhouettes again to create a DIY cake topper, with the silhouettes laser cut out of balsa wood by our pals at Publique Living, and embellished with crepe paper flowers.

Woodland Damask Wedding Invitation Suite

The wedding invitations were a variation Woodland Damask wedding invitation, created in collaboration with pattern designer Joel Dewberry inspired by his  Deer Valley collection.  The wedding invitations and save the dates were letterpress printed, while the details booklets and programs were digitally printed.

Hello!Lucky Paddle Fans

We used the pattern to create these program paddle fans, which doubled to keep guests cool during the ceremony…

Confetti pouches

…as well as these glassine confetti pouches, a tribute to the Beatle’s All You Need is Love, Eunice & Daniel’s exit song.

Tons of our creative friends helped out with the details, including Tricia Roush (top left) of House of Nines Design. Magnolia Photo Booth was one of the highlights – guests had a blast taking mugs with all kinds of hilarious props!  Bottom row, Eunice and Sabrina celebrating the best day ever, and bridesmaid Erin Murphy trying on a tissue paper crown.

A high point was a Tim Walker-inspired parade featuring animal shadow puppets designed by Eunice, fabricated Jillian and Toast at Because We Can, and then hand-painted!

Wedding Inspiration: Factory 20

February 16th, 2010

We’re delighted to bring you one of our latest obsessions–Factory 20, a mecca of vintage furniture and rustic wedding bric-a-brac. This is a perfect place to get inspiration and potentially splurge for some personalized vintage flair to your special day.

For country chic weddings, we can only imagine what crafty minds could do with this vintage dairy farm metal basket.

Vintage gas station numbers! Can we say Totally Adorable Idea for Table Numbers?

989_1558vintage-circus-carnival-games-counter4

And how cute would this be for a bar or welcome table at a big-top inspired wedding?

A lot of the pieces quite spendy and one-of-a-kind, so if budget allows, think about how to re-use in your home after the event.

View all the inspiring finds here.

Party Inspiration: V-Day Pink Dessert Buffet

February 11th, 2010

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples anymore! We adore this perfectly pink dessert buffet by design all-star, Amy Atlas. It’s just too cute for words! Plus, we love the idea of hosting a Valentine’s party–uniting our coupled friends with our single friends for a celebration of love in its purest form: dessert.

Design Inspiration: Rob Ryan!

February 9th, 2010

We’ve blogged about Rob Ryan before, but we’re doing it again because, well, we can’t help it!

The piece below is one of our favorites and reminds us of  papel picados, traditional folk art and design from Mexico. We’re bummed that it’s currently sold out, but we’re feeling a little inspired for our own DIY  Valentine’s Day ambitions.

Real Wedding: Amy and Adam

February 5th, 2010

We’re so pleased that Amy and Adam’s gorgeous Sonoma Wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty this week!  Choosing the beautiful B.R. Cohn Winery as their setting, the couple (best friends since college!), treated their guests to a celebration inspired by the bountiful Sonoma fall harvest.

We love the rustic simplicity of chalkboard directions.

The couple said their “I do’s” under one of the oldest trees at the winery.

We customized Amy and Adam’s wedding invitation to reflect their California fall theme. Escort cards and save the dates brought the clean, playfully preppy touches together.

Simple autumnal flower arrangements by Kathleen Deery Design popped against the white table settings. A beautiful color palette that continued into the night [courtesy of Got Light?]:

The event was catered by Paula LeDuc Fine Catering, where Amy works. Divine! Our congratulations to Amy and Adam!
