Diamond-Inspired Bridal Shower

Jasmine Star is my favorite national photographer. Her images and blog posts just brighten my day and rock my creative world! Her twin sister got married this past year and I remembered a blog post she had about her sister's Diamond-inspired bridal shower. The images she captured of all the details of the shower are so inspiring, so I made an inspiration board from her photos. Hopefully, it will help some bridesmaids get started on planning their bride's bridal shower or bachelorette party. This bridal shower was considered so inspirational it was published in Inside Wedding Magazine. Awesome. The photos at the bottom left of the inspiration board show "love" notes that the brides guests placed in a calender box so that on the month of the brides wedding she could open an inspirational note everyday until the day of her wedding. The photos on the bottom right of the inspiration board show a customized body scrub station for the brides guests to make their own bath scrub by adding their prefered scent. I love the creative details and elegance of this bridal shower.

FriENDI Engagement

So my best friend is getting married this year. Unfortunately, she lives out of town and I am bummed that I can't be by her side during the whole wedding planning process. I miss her so much. She had a recent engagement session done by Lewchan Photography and I wanted to share some of my favorites with you all. Our friendship began our freshman year in college and I remember the first thing I told her was "Has anybody ever told you that you look like Salma Hayek" Awww sweet memories. Love ya End.

Boda

My cousin is getting married this year and has asked me to find some Mexican-themed wedding inspiration. I made two inspiration boards with two different approaches.
The first board is more fun and vibrant! I LOVE the cake and Loteria centerpieces!




The second board is more formal and elegant:



I like both of them but my personal favorite is the second board. I just noticed the boards didn't have any pictures of Mariachis. Brides, don't forget a wedding isn't considered a Mexican wedding if there aren't any Mariachis! haha

EP Engagement Session by Kristen Swanson

I LOVE this recent engagement session that the talented, Kristen Swanson, photographed and I had to share it with you all. Love the different looks the couple went for and Kristen captured. They have the urban look and somehow captured the beach look, luckily the river bank was dry. This doesn't even look like it was shot in El Paso. Great job Kristen! Congrats to the engaged couple!

Ombre Trend

In fashion terminology Ombre is a color effect in the fabric which graduates from light to dark. This has become a popular trend with hair styles, fashion and now weddings. Below is a board with some Ombre wedding inspiration.

Breathtaking

I came across this photo while blog-stalking my fav photography and cinematography group, Stillmotion. I just wanted to share it with you because it took my breath away. It's like the gates of heaven opened up for a quick second to shower God's love on this newlywed couple. All you can do is *smile. Happy Thursday Peeps.

Frida Kahlo Inspiration

My best friend, Endi, is getting married this year. I thought I would help her out with some inspiration. She adores Frida Kahlo. I thought it would be awesome if she drew some inspiration for her wedding from her favorite artist. The color scheme is beautiful....so many colors to choose from. I hope this helps you End....Love ya.
