The Sweetest Occasion

Have I ever told you how much I love camping? I big time l.o.v.e to camp. Bring on the s’mores, the sleeping bags and long days of reading, canoeing and telling campfire stories and I’m in heaven. With that said, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a campsite with as much style as this one. [...]

At my day job at Bella Figura (and Boxcar Press and Smock) I have the great opportunity to work and interact with a lot of the wedding industry’s finest talent. It’s a pleasure, to say the least. Recently we teamed up with the incredible Anne Sage of The City Sage for a gorgeous Pride & [...]

Today I couldn’t resist sharing this pretty black-eyed susan inspired bridal shower by I Am Baker featured last week on Sweet Designs.

This morning’s Inspired Creations Contest entry is the first of two from Ashley Pepitone, a budding event designer. Inspired by summer days spent on her grandparents’ farm in Massachusetts, Ashley was inspired to create a design that would be reminiscent of frolicking about the fields and raiding the strawberry patch for fresh, sun-ripened berries.

To follow up on today’s amazingly beautiful gypsy-inspired al fresco wedding inspiration shoot for the Inspired Creations Contest, I have a few more portraits to share and a DIY tutorial for the adorable wishing tree guest book the team created.
