Brand New Look by Chewing the Cud

Abby Larson — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:32:00 +0000

Do you remember that commercial where the girl is trying on shoes and she ever so timidly pulls off her boots, then her socks. Then slips her very shy foot into a perfect slingback. Well, that’s exactly how we feel on SMP today. We’ve found ourselves a pretty, simple, clean, new look and although we are a little bit nervous to unveil it…we couldn’t be more proud. We feel like we’ve put on our big girl pants with a logo that will stand the test of time, a header that is as clean and easy to navigate as possible and a backdrop for the perfect pictures that our vendors send us. And it feels GREAT.

So before we get started for the day, I wanted to send a HUGE shout out to Viola at Chewing the Cud, who gave us our shiny new style. I like to brag about Viola a lot on SMP because I think she is one of those designers that just gets it. Here’s a look at her brand spanking new line of eco-chic (and totally afforadable) line of wedding invitations…

You can see more from this collection, which is all printed on recycled or tree-free paper with soy-based inks, on Viola’s gorgeous website. That she also just redesigned. And it’s GORGEOUS. So, thank you so much to Viola and to all the readers that gave us feedback to make this happen!

Oh and we have a day of pretty coming up so fasten your seat belts!

Green Wedding in Vermont

Abby Larson — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:00:37 +0000

Before I dive into the next ridiculously gorgeous wedding, I wanted to let you know that if you haven’t already, you really HAVE to check out the Little Black Book Blog today. Ingrid, over at Myrtle & Marjoram Photography has sent us one of those wedding that simply glows. It is beyond lovely, beyond swoon-worthy. A must see for sure.

Ok! This wedding that Jen Curtis sent us is pure magic. And to be honest, it’s her photography alone that brings this lovely, lovely wedding to an entirely new level. The wedding was held at the Amee Farm in Vermont, which is designed for sustainable yet luxurious living…with touches like hand selected antiques in guest rooms that are gussied up with perfectly fabulous linens and such. It’s a dream come true really.

The adorable couple actually met online eight years ago. So great how far the web has come to introduce a perfect pair like this one! The bride ROCKED a Lian Carlo dress and the bridesmaids wore Amsale. They loved the idea of hosting a wedding at a fully working organic farm, with a venue that was absolute perfection.

Eryn actually designed all of the invitations and printed accoutrement’s herself, with letterpress by Jason McDanial of Missing Q Press in Dallas. She used all recycled paper products in the design and ordered vintage stamps from Ebay that coordinated. The couple gifted guests eco-friendly tree seed wedding favors from Plant a Memory. The organic, eco-chic design of this wedding was threaded through literally every detail. The end result…FABULOUS.

Thank you so very much to the HUGELY talented Jen Curtis for sending us today’s affairs. Jen is based in San Francisco though as you can see, will travel anywhere to photograph perfect weddings. We have another Jen Curtis wedding coming up next week, so if you are as addicted to her work as I am, you are in for a treat!
