my wedding at once wed

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a fantastic holiday so far. Today I'm super excited to send you over to Once Wed, as they have most kindly featured my wedding there (there are two parts - click here for part 1, and for part 2.) It's very flattering that such an awesome wedding blog wanted to share my pictures, which were taken by the terrifically-talented Heidi Geldhauser from Our Labor of Love (fyi, there are tons more photos over at her blog!) I've included a few more below, and over the next couple days I plan on sharing more of the detail shots and eye candy...

Xmas Wish List... Paintings by Viv Strauss

At the top of my Xmas wish list this year? These chic and charming, delightful and whimsical paintings by Viv Strauss. I've had her Etsy store bookmarked for several months and often find myself daydreaming about an entire hallway filled with her amazing work. I'm crossing my fingers for one or two under my Xmas tree this year. The ultimate though - to have a custom portrait of me and my honey and my four kitties! A girl can dream! Do check out more of Viv's fab paintings here... I have no doubt you'll find something to add to your wish list too.

my favorite color

Aqua abounds in this lovely, lovely home featured in the new holiday issue of Lonny. And I can't express just how much I love the great dane painting over the fireplace... I'm swooning!

wedding sneak peek

I've been dying to share some pictures of my gorgeous wedding invitations created last spring by Loveleigh Invitations. Every detail was custom-designed by these lovely ladies, and I feel lucky to have been able to send out such a beautiful package to my guests. It makes me so happy to see my grizzly bear, ostrich and owl all decked out in their wedding finery - top hats, bow ties and boutonnieres were mandatory for the animals!

I'm super excited becuase in the next week or so I'll finally be able to share my wedding photos, shot by the amazing Heidi Geldhauser of Our Labor of Love - including more detail shots of the invites shown above. Stay tuned!

Not sure where this image is from, but it's really working for me. Loving the layers of yellow and gold, not to mention the many pretty patterns....
