Wedding Wednesdays: Chalking It Up (Engagement Shoot)

Darlings - I have come across A LOT (and I mean a lot) of great wedding engagement photos, but these are some of my absolute favorite ones of all time!  We did a mini chalkboard-inspired piece for our engagement pictures (in our driveway), but I think these definitely take the cake.

These wonderful shots were taken by One Eye Click and they totally rock.
Pretty stinkin' cute don't you think??? That last one is my fav!!!

With the HUGE chalkboard trend right now for weddings, I am loving this SO much! Talk about creativity ladies and gents! Hope you all have a beautiful Hump Day!
  To view the rest of their lovely shoot, go here.

Wedding Wednesdays: The Deets on Kate Moss

via
Did you hear the great news? Supermodel Kate Moss is FINALLY tying the knot to Jamie Hince of The Kills.  I won't lie - I had no idea the beauty was even engaged.  The date is set for July 2nd of this year and although I'm not a huge fan of hers, I STILL can't wait to see the wedding.  In the mean time, here are the deets.

Longtime friend Mario Testino will be her photographer.  Here's what he said on their encounter and the beginning of a beautiful friendship:
“I met Kate very early on. Shortly after her first Galliano show 
I went backstage to congratulate her, only to find her crying: she was disappointed 
that she had only been given one outfit to model in the show. 
My answer to her was this: “In life there are perfumes and colognes. 
You need to use lots of cologne as the scent fades away; 
with a perfume you just use a drop and it lasts all night. 
You are a perfume, you will go on and on.” 
Little did I know just how true that would become! 
And that I had made a friend for life.”

I have no doubt her wedding photos will leave me speechless much like most of Mario's work.  I think you will notice some of his work...here's a peek:

As for the wedding gown designer,  she has (supposedly) asked John Galliano to design it.  Yes, the same Galliano who only allowed her 1 outfit that night she met Mario.  Galliano has designed for many a-list names including Gwen Stefano and Penelope Cruz and I am picturing something strapless with a little flare and flowly ruffles.  Elegant, classy, but very couture. Something fit for supermodel status. What do YOU think her dress will look like?  Here's a blast from the past on her wedding gown shoots:

My Quiet Thursday


Hello my friends! It is bitterly cold today - 28 degrees and still dropping.  For Houston, this is extremely cold.  I am colder now than when I was in Colorado.  The weathermen say it will snow today which means lots of nervous people and lots of traffic.  Luckily, many businesses and schools will close early so I expect today to be a very quiet workday.  I have been at work for 3 hours and I still have my coat and scarf on.  I resisted taking my gloves off, but I couldn't type well with them.  My boss called in sick and my co-worker left to take care of her dog.  So, it looks like I am running the show today. Score!  My lovelies - Bundle up and stay warm today! One more day until Friday. 

Here are a few pictures I snapped this morning on the way to work.  

Chasing the sunrise in the city. I love the warmth.
Passing through Downtown...
 
They made me smile.
And while sitting in traffic, I looked up and saw a fish in the sky. How neat!
Finally at work. Have a fabulous day!!!

Trendy Tuesdays: 2011 Wedding Trends



If you're planning your 2011 wedding, I'm sure you have noticed some growing trends while browsing web sites and magazine covers.  One HUGE trend I noticed while planning my wedding was the color PURPLE. It's a bit ironic, but my husband and I picked purple and gray because we felt there weren't many weddings with these colors.  Well, in 2010, not only was this a popular combination, but you can't imagine how many pictures we came across with our groomsmen tuxes (which we thought were "one-of-a-kind" at the time).   Here are the wedding trends for 2011.
