Featured on The Perfect Palette

Good morning and, first of all, welcome to my new blog! I am still working out the kinks, but didn't want to delay posting because things aren't quite looking the way I want yet. So I'll share today's post with you and introduce you to my new virtual identity as soon as it's looking a bit more presentable.

Today I'm so excited to show you a styled shoot I recently did that is featured on The Perfect Palette! You can see the full feature here.  All the details for this concept were so fun to pull together because the aesthetic really spoke to me. You can see some images that inspired me here, and a sneak peak here. I won't go into it here, but if you want a more detailed description on the inspiration behind and crafting of this project, you can read more on The Perfect Palette.

I was also so blessed to be able to work with some of the most amazing ladies ever. Each one put heart and soul into this project, and I want to thank each of them for making my vision come to life. You can find all their credits and information below.

And now, without further ado, wedding details inspired by Ink and Ice.

Winter Wreaths with Sarah Winward

Hello lovelies! I've been avoiding these parts for a while now, because I'm cooking up lots of new things. There are going to be some MAJOR changes around here very soon. Hopefully good things, but I guess we'll find out!

Back in December, I attended a small wreath-making workshop at Sarah Winward's studio. The event was hosted by Kinfolk Magazine and shot by Leo Patrone. We walking in from the cold snow fluries outside to some simple, yummy refreshments including piping apple cider (my favorite this season!) and amazing local cheeses from Beehive Cheese Co. My favorite was the Barely Buzzed cheese, which is rubbed with hints of lavender and espresso. After getting to know everyone, Sarah shared a few techniques for creating beautiful winter wreaths and foraged natural home decor.  It was really laid back, and lots of fun to meet and mingle with other local creatives while working on our own, unique projects.

Oh, and I did leave the class with my fingers throbbing because I chose to use mainly blue spruce, but thought I was tough enough to do it without gloves. Not smart, my friends. But the results were worth it.

Thank you Sarah for providing such a wonderful, intimate gathering!
