Starry Eyed {or a Starry Night}

There’s nothing I love better than beautiful Typography combined with lovely words – isn’t this print (by Seb Lester via Creative Review) elegant?

Speaking of Van Gogh and Starry Nights, I finally got to see the real Starry Night at MOMA during our New York Trip, took my breath away.

NSS New York Roundup {Figs and Ginger}

life, sunday finds, the rest

Another find from the National Stationery Show in New York. For me, Figs and Ginger really stood out at the show, their work was different, quirky and eye catching, not to mention displayed beautifully.

All of Figs and Ginger’s items are made in the mountains of North Carolina with sustainable harvested wood. I especially love the cake toppers and wedding bunting, and how perfect are the coat hangers? I see many wedding shots of beautiful bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses hanging on a not so nice coat hanger – these are the perfect solution!

Stationery Tips {Photographing Your Wedding Stationery}

alannah rose weddings, stationery tips

When your wedding stationery is what starts the day and where the wedding begins, having a shot of your invitations and key styling pieces can add to the memories of the day. Too often we hear from disappointed brides who have no memories of their wedding stationery because it wasn’t captured by their photographer on the day. Your stationery begins your story and ties the elements of your wedding together.

Make sure you have your full suite of stationery near your accessories on the day, so your photographer is able to grab your pieces and shoot them along side your bouquet or jewelery.

Let your photographer know if there are other special pieces in your suite you’d love to have captured at the reception and ceremony – from place cards, to your order of service, your seating chart and anything in between. These are wonderful for your own memories, but are also useful if a publication such as a blog or magazine wants to publish your wedding- details like this inspire other brides and pull together the full story and beauty of your wedding day.
