Sugary Sorbet-Hued Shoot
As one may have gathered by my lack of recent posts, I have been a bit absent from what is usually my free-time to share, dream and inspire…No fun! Early mornings and late nights are saturated with meetings, walk-throughs, conference calls, timelines, checklist and to-dos…
Although it is adding to my already numbingly busy schedule, Bliss Weddings was asked to be a part of a fantastic whirlwind of a project. Our favorite photographer, the insanely hip and talented Jeremy of Studio This Is, asked Renny and I along with the cities’ best designer, Jesse Deckard from Event Creative, to be a part of a photoshoot for the next issue of CS Brides. Jeremy, Jesse and Bliss often work together designing and capturing our clients events – but Jeremy has always wanted to work on a project together from conception and found this to the perfect opportunity.
While I’m dying to talk specifics, sharing plans, designs and details, I’d much rather share it in it’s entirety! To tide you over, here was the color board I put together to present to the gang featuring soft, springy, sorbet hues…my current obsession.
The shoot will take place in just over a week and I can barely contain my excitement! Stay tuned!
Summer Lovin!
Why Not…?! The Grand Exit.
A traditional toss of feather-light confetti gets a modern update in a rainbow of colors…
So Why Not…add yet another fantastic layer of charm and drama to your grand exit with these simple ideas. And who wants rice stuck in their perfectly coiffed hairstyle, anyway?!
Ah Shucks.
Color Inspiration
Here, for a spring client that hoped for a collection of colors that read soft, pretty and slightly unexpected, I played around with dusty peaches and apricots, pairing it with grays and graphites and grounded it with an accent of richer navy.
As the snow continues to dust our layers of packed powder, here in Chicago, this board helps me to keep the faith…
Real Wedding – Nadere + Jeff…Surprise!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with the most gorgeous couple for their unique {and shall we say unexpected?!} winter wedding in December.
Nadere and Jeff were engaged only a handful of months before their wedding day – the two have been together for ages and knew they didn’t want a long engagement. They also acknowledged early on that they wanted the wedding to be less about the spotlight, the show and teeny tiny details, but more about a celebration of the clear and complete love they share. When one jokingly suggested they should host a surprise wedding, they both giggled at the thought. And then they stepped back, individually, and let the ‘silly’ idea sink in a bit. They were sold.
Real Wedding – Yui & Bill!
Real Wedding – Chelsea and Adam!
