aimee's hawaiian wedding.

I so love the brides that I'm lucky enough to work with.  it's such a pleasure to create one of a kind bags for their wedding day and then when I get an email from them letting me know they had the BEST wedding and want to share photos I'm ecstatic.  I'm not going to lie- I love when they send me pictures of my bags in action but I love it even more when I get to see the rest of the day. you know - the photos of their first look, dancing with their dad, laughing with their friends, hugging family - I love seeing the love and joy on their faces that only a wedding can bring.  it brings me back to my own wedding, which was the best day of my life (besides the day beckett was born). 

aimee was sweet enough to send me a few images that she had taken with the bags I made her and her bridal party. don't they all look beautiful? 

she is one of those brides who shared a few extra photos from the wedding and I'm so glad she did. please take a look at her photographers website and check out the joy and happiness that radiate from her smile. gorgeous! I'm so happy for you aimee and I hope married life is treating you wonderfully.

ps- I am in love with your glitter manicure!! taking the photo next time I go to get my nails done. :)

bridal party trifecta.

helloooo, coordination lovers! new in the shop I'm going to have a little 'combo' buy for those of you who like the one stop shop for bridal party needs. I'll be offering a coordinating 8 inch clutch, 6 inch frame (with chain) for the smaller hands & a matching 5x5 inch ring bearer pillow for your pleasure.  they are customizable as far as picking one exterior and one interior fabric for the duo, and deciding on the color of your bloom/ribbon.  the combo will be retailing for $100, which is $20 less than if you were to purchase each of the items on their own. as a reminder, below are the patterned fabrics I have available in the shop, but if you're looking for something different I can always source that for you as well! happy holiday shopping to you all. :)

college football and fashion, round I.

Are you ready for some (college) football ????? I'm getting a little tingle in my tummy thinking of what fall brings. The past couple of years I have not made it to as many games as I would've liked, but the ladies always plan at least one weekend during the season to make the trek up (or down) to Tallahassee and witness our Seminoles in all their glory (ahem- they ARE glorious whether winning or losing)!

To commemorate college football in the South, I am going to be offering a line of clutches that show off our school spirit. First up (and my personal favorite, duh) is a little number showcasing what else: garnet and gold. She comes with 2 detachable floral pins, so you can wear both on the bag or one on your shirt/hat/bikini top- whatever your fancy. Yay for GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!you like that vintage FSU t-shirt, don't ya?

I'll leave you with a couple images around the web that make me a happy little lady and get me FIRED UP for fall football!

And lastly, a fine photo taken by this amazing duo on our wedding day in front of Westcott Fountain. LOVE.

Want a clutch in your school's colors? Comment on the post with what you think round 2 should hold. Maybe I'll even offer up a little pre-season discount! :)
