From Jeff Loves JessicaWith the help of Laurie at Cocoa & Fig, Antoinette at Paperista, Amanda at Lime Canary, and Amy at Spruce, we styled a library-themed inspiration shoot with a colorful, modern twist.  One of the things I loved most about this shoot was the way it blended a variety of styles (vintage, eclectic, preppy, and classic/traditional) and produced a theme that was not-too-girly yet still completely gorgeous, all with a very rich and cohesive color palette.  We hope you’ll go nuts over the DIY paper airplanes made of book pages, reading glasses, cardigans, and books galore, and how our bridesmaid donned a preppy green & white striped skirt by Minneapolis-based designer Anne Cramer and tied it all together.

    I love everything about this wedding. So cute. The colors are great, and clothes are great. And, now I regret not wearing my glasses at my wedding.

    SOOO adorable and creative. Love it. It's so refreshing also so see bright color, it feels good after so long of these vintage washed out photography trends to get bright vibrant color. Love it

    @Katie: The yellow cardigan is from Target, and I added a vintage doily to the collar using fabric glue

    @Stephanie: The striped table runner is from Ikea--sold as fabric by the yard

    @Chelsea: The china is from the thrift store!! Not sure of the brand, but I will check when I have a chance.
