Here is a sneak peak of the baby shower invitations I am designing for Kristy Walker of Studio Verite Photography. The keywords she gave me that best describes her vision is yoga, buddha baby, recycled materials, om symbol, pattern and natural gender neutral colors. 1. Focuses on the Buddha baby & mehndi (which is a skin decoration in South Asia that is applied for special occasions) 2. Plays with two lotus flowers that resemble mother and child and is round to represent pregnancy and the circle of life 3. Is the outline of a baby bump with playful type that gives info about the shower. Purchase this invite here.

I went to the Seattle Wedding Show this past weekend and fell in love with beeswax collage art produced by Heather & Jon at One Love Photo. They print photos onto tissue paper and adhere it to a piece of wood, then pour a mixture of beeswax and resin on top. It creates such a unique and interesting way to preserve and display wedding photos. I can’t wait for them to create some for me =) Also, if you are looking for a wedding photographer I would highly recommend them! They are not only incredibly talented at what they do, but they are creative as well. They shoot all types of ways (digital, medium format film, homemade lenses or even with a couple of toy plastic cameras) to create a soft & dreamy vintage look and feel. Check out all of their work on their website here.

Gayle O’Donnell from All About Weddings & Celebrations presented at the Association of Bridal Consultants meeting last night and talked about free style boards on dessy.com. I decided to give it a try and put one together for one of my clients. I am designing baby shower invitations for my wedding photographer Kristy Walker of Studio Verite Photography and couldn’t be more thrilled! The keywords she gave me that best describes her vision is yoga, buddha baby, recycled materials, om symbol, pattern and natural colors (focusing on green because they don’t know the sex of the baby). Below is the style board I pulled together (click here to view it on dessy.com).

I had to snap a few shots at Anthropology this past weekend because I fell in love with all of their patterned plates & bowls. Too bad my husband & I have new dishes, otherwise I would have purchased at least one set 😉
