I'm a BIG fan of metallic colors, and always love the chance to find new ways to incorporate them into paper goods. If you know me, you know I'm a tad obsessed with laser cutting & engraving– so when the idea came about for a styled shoot that incorporated bronze metallic, I immediately started researching what type of bronze material could be cut. Enter flexibrass! I used it for the couple's names to be hung above the dessert table, and an inverted option for a styled vignette near the guestbook table. For the paper suite, I added stripes using metallic paint for a fun and inexpensive way to add some shine. Below are a few of my favorite shots (thanks to the lovely Brittany Lauren), but for more of this winter industrial goodness be sure to check out the full feature over on Style Me Pretty.

Today I'm sharing the logo I created for the lovely Katie & Monica of Gather Event Planning, located here in Portland. I'm on a "Gather high" today as I've fallen even more in love with them after seeing those gals in action at my younger sister's wedding this weekend. All I can say is– WOW, and THANKGODFORTHEM!!! They are professional, fun, and classy women who just know how to throw a party. Their attention to detail, organization and incredible people-skills are exactly what is needed when putting on a big event. My sister met with Katie several months ago to discuss her wedding plans, and after their meeting my sis called saying, "I can't believe I thought I didn't need a coordinator! I can already tell this is one of the best decisions we'll make for our wedding." These are the women you want with you on your big day. To take care of and think of everything to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. To be sure your vision comes to life. To manage interesting personalities and conflicts with grace. To have the most calming, nurturing presence that when you are anxious and about to pass out they make you feel 100000x better! So that's my experience with Gather in a nutshell :) Another one of my favorite projects we worked on together was a Modern Italian styled shoot that was published on Style Me Pretty. Here are a few of my favorite shots!

Last year I was contacted by a lovely gal named Kate who was creating a new, high-end wedding inspiration website called H&H Weddings (H&H stands for Hers & Hers, and His & His). Since I am all about LOVE is LOVE, equality, who am I to judge who you love, and all that goodness, I said, "Sign me up!" She invited me to take part in an inspiration shoot taking place in New York, shot by the amazing Jen Huang. Kate had some great ideas for the suite involving trees and wood, but really didn't set any boundaries (which you know I looooove), so I came up with the suite shown below. The coaster and invitation were engraved on wood... mmmm! In today's feature, they say: "Lindsay of Paper Bloom Studio is one of those fabulous people that makes you want to get married, just so she can create something amazing for you. We had the pleasure of working with her on one of our inspiration shoots and she could not have been more wonderful! We asked her to tell us a bit about what she does and why she does it."

Once upon a time, I received an email from a woman named Brittany Lauren. She was a Portland photographer looking for a designer to help create a new logo and identity for her up-and-coming business. She had seen my invitation designs, but didn't realize I designed logos as well. We set up a coffee date, and from the second I saw her– feather earrings and off the shoulder top– I was excited, but felt a little intimidated. Ok, A LOT intimidated. She was outgoing, friendly, likable and cool without even trying. It just came to her naturally to be awesome. And she was talented, and SMART! So she needed a killer logo to really show all these traits and more. No pressure, right?! Thankfully she had some great ideas and a good idea of what she wanted, so together we created something really awesome that suited her and her photography business perfectly. I'm really proud of the elements she has created on her own using the brand we created, too. Be sure to fan her on Facebook to keep up to date with her gorgeous photography!
Last year, I worked on a super cool photoshoot with the lovely Stephanie Major of Petalos. The ideas this woman comes up with always amaze me, so when she simply told me the theme of the shoot she was planning– plaid and leather– I asked no questions and was totally on board. It was already an exciting shoot, but then she asked my younger sister and her boyfriend to model. Even better! The list of amazing professionals involved is below the photos (shot by another amazing talent, Bryan Rupp Photography). To see the full feature on Style Me Pretty, go here!

Event Planning, Floral + Event Design: Petalos Wardrobe Styling: Amy Allen Invitations: Paper Bloom Rentals: The Party Place Vintage Rentals: Something Borrowed Hair + Makeup: Terri Reece (terri_reece@hotmail.com) Bow Tie: Harding & Wilson Oh, where do I begin with these two? From our first meeting I just knew this wedding would be killer. They said all the right things to make me swoon: Hotel de Luxe, art deco, black + white + red color palette, custom logo, and my all-time favorite– clear acrylic! I had such a good time working with them and their awesome wedding coordinator, Mandi from Champagne. Here are a few shots of their invitation (by Paul Rich) and other goodies by their photographer Craig Mitchelldyer. See more from Craig here, and Champagne's blog post with even more photos.
Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Lacey and DJ on their Save the Dates, wedding invitations, and day-of paper goods. Lacey and I knew each other from grade school, but were a few years apart and didn't know each other that well. I had such a good time getting to know her (and DJ) better through this process! They had such great ideas and a perfect vision what they wanted for their paper items, but still left a ton of room for creativity. in the end we were all really happy with the outcome! Below are a few photos of their suite (thanks to Paul Rich Studio!) and one of the beautiful couple from FS Photography. Check out this blog post to see more!
Did you know Portland has the most amazing wedding professionals than any other place in the world? Yep! It's possible I have no actual statistics to back up such a claim, but ask any pro around here and I bet they'd say it, too. I've been fortunate enough to work with some pretty incredible businesses around here in the 8+ years I've been part of the wedding industry, and the latest styled shoot I was part of to hit the lovely internet included many people that I adore. Check out a few photos below thanks to Bryan Rupp Photography The whole shebang was put together by Champagne Wedding Coordination and Bella Bloom Florals. So, so very gorgeous!
