Wedding Wednesday: Jeff + Jessica

It’s been a while since we have a Wedding Wednesday in this blog. I promise you, you’ll love this one. Do you remember these fabric invitations we did for Jeff & Jessica’s wedding last Fall?

Well, I was such at joy today to find out that Josh McCullock, the photographer of the big day, has posted tons of photos on his blog of the actual wedding day. Jessica was a friend of mine and it was such a bummer that I couldn’t come to the big day, but Josh did such a wonderful job capturing the day!

Jessica looks so pretty! The birdcage veil and the feathery hair accessories looks amazing on her.

She also mostly DIY the decorations. Don’t you love the old photos hung on tree bark? And of course the mason jar. Looks so lovely and really fits the vintage-barn wedding theme!

The ring-bearer also held responsible bearing a wagon filled with baby flower girls. How cute is that?! The ceremony takes place outside the barn.

Love this “tree lighting” inside the barn, which is where the reception was held. The color combination is one of my favorites! We actually did some labels too for their food buffet with matching design to their invitation. Wish I could show them to you!

I love that last send-off picture so much. It has so much energy and just so charming! Please visit Josh’s blog to view more of this wedding photos and visit his portfolio to view more of his works!

Dessert Calendar on SALE!

Just in time for the new year, we are reducing the price on our 2010 Dessert Calendar! Hurry all to our Etsy!

2010 Dessert Calendar!

So, I finally took the plunge and went ahead to create the 2010 Calendar. Although it may be a tad late, I’m still proud of at least being able to finish it :) The concept was inspired by my recent obsession of confectioneries, cakes, or pretty much anything sweet. The calendars are printed on beautifully textured Mohawk paper via Felt.

Without further due, here we go.

I just wish I can photograph it better. I rely on the natural sunlight for my photography since I don’t have a fancy SLR camera or expensive equipment and lighting. The sunlight today wasn’t so great when I was going to photograph it, but I really can’t wait to get the words out! :)

Here is the desktop calendar, which comes with acrylic jewel case:

And there’s also a wall calendar version:
