Thank you so very much to He & She Photography for letting us spend the day with them and their beautiful photographs. Their blog and their website is filled with eye candy and inspiration that will keep you busy for hours on end. I heart this wedding in a big way, with it’s handmade charm and relaxed style. The bouquet alone is enough to make me jump for joy!

And of course, a HUGE thank you to Lisa and Derren for letting us share in their beautiful day. Lisa, you are such an inspiration to all of us for designing an affair that is as beautiful as it was charming. Ashlyn and Heather from Carter & Cook Event Co helped plan and coordinate the day, as well. Fabulous job all around!

Oh and that is jasmine that the guests are throwing…love!

Real Wedding: Derren and Lisa, II

I knew you guys would love this wedding. It’s so fun to see an affair where every detail was handmade, where every touch was tended to with such TLC. And, the team at He & She Photography captured the day to perfection…

Ahhhh, swoon. Here are a few little bits from Erin and Randy at He & She Photography…

Besides the wedding style being SUPER creative, the couple couldn’t have been any nicer and any more in love! We had a great time shooting with them in such a beautiful atmosphere. Everything really came together wonderfully and it turned out to be an amazing day.

I love the birdcages that were used as centerpieces. What a clever, cost effective way to bring a little whimsy to your tables. And I LOVE the different, mismatched bridesmaids dresses. The more time I spend in the wedding industry, the more I love the eclectic bridesmaids look. There is something so effortless and yet elegant about it. More on the way!

Vintage Glam Wedding: Hawaiian Style

Eddye — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 04:33:58 +0000

It may seem like we’re fixated on tropical weddings this week on The Little Black Book Blog … (and maybe we are) … but this wedding sent to us by the incredible floral design team at Flowergirls is just too cute to pass up!

Chrissy Lambert, also a Little Black Book member, did a fantastic job capturing the Vintage Glam inspiration behind Jennifer and Vincent’s wedding!

All the little details they pulled into this wedding are so, so “glamorous”!

Well … almost everything is glamorous …

The silhouettes they used added just the perfect vintage touch.

We’ve seen quite a few Black & White with red accented weddings from 2008, but Jennifer & Vincent’s is so different. It’s light-hearted and full of zest and just forces a big happy smile!

We also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE antique brooches and feathers and crystals and … just all of the lovely glitz!

Jennifer and Vincent were married in November at the Lanikuhonua Estate on the island of Oahu.

How great is this picture!

A HUGE thank you to Michelle at Flowergirls and Chrissy Lambert Photography for sharing this sensational vintage glam wedding with us.

Wedding Invitations by Posh Paperie

Abby Larson — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:08:52 +0000

I mentioned earlier that the bride from today’s featured wedding was launching a new custom invitation business, called Posh Paperie. Well, the stationery suite that she designed for her own weddings is absolutely beautiful and if it’s any indication of what is to come, she is sure to be a huge success!

Thank you so much to Karrie for sharing her wedding and her new business inspirations with us! Every detail of this wedding was adorable…from the great color palette and gorgeous stationery to the custom silhouette cookies. Loved every bit of it!

Real Wedding: Karrie & Brian

Abby Larson — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 09:03:46 +0000

There are three reasons why I am completely obsessed with today’s real wedding feature. First, the photographer is one of my favorite Little Black Book members, Amy Squires…her work is so pretty, I just love to brag on her behalf.

The second reason is that the bride, Karrie, is launching a new custom invitation business, called Posh Paperie, that is just too cute for words. I love to support up and coming businesses, so writing this post was a lot of fun for me.

And the third reason is that the wedding is FILLED with silhouettes…and I LOVE silhouettes!

So, let’s get right to it!

How great is this wedding! The cake…oh, the cake. Melody Brandon of Sweet & Saucy designed the cake and I have to say, it’s perfect!

I really love that Karrie and Brian used simple centerpieces with huge pops of green. It’s an inexpensive way to make a big impact. And to be honest, every detail reflected this same sense of thoughtful sophistication.

The couple even hired a silhouette artist to cut custom silhouettes! Ummm….I think that is about as good as it gets!! What a creative and unique idea!

I have more photos coming soon, so stay tuned!

Abby Jean Contest!

Abby Larson — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 18:42:14 +0000

First of all…can you believe the contests these last few days! I am just SO eternally grateful for all of your wonderful feedback, I am jumping at chances to give you guys a little something. So, our next contest will conclude at the end of day on Friday.

Because you all were so helpful when we were launching our last Abby Jean design, we thought who better to ask about our newest color palette dilemma. Our silhouette invitation line, Sophie, is really taking off. For the new season, we wanted to offer it in a secondary color with personalized silhouettes! But we just can’t decide which palette we like the best!

Here are the options (click on them to make larger)…

So…let us know which one you like the best! More importantly, which one you would buy for your own wedding! We will choose a random winner who will receive a set of 25 personalized stationery and coordinating envelopes!
