I just can’t get enough of their photography! I saw this photo on
Simply Bloom’s blog and just about died. The photography is beautiful and seriously, I. LOVE. COKE. (No – not Pepsi – don’t even think about it!) The retro feel of this photo fits perfectly with the Coca-Cola brand – makes me want to twist open a glass bottle of the good stuff. Aaaah, refreshing!

In love. x10. Yellow is BY FAR my favorite color right now and the polka dots? So adorable!! These shoes perfectly walk the line of playful & sophisticated, with a touch of modern vintage. I see a bride with my dream palette of casual grays and yellows wearing these – or they would even look great on your bridesmaids too! …okay, I am getting too attached to these shoes…Â Molly peep toes in buttercup striped dots by J.Crew

The new year is fast approaching and with it, is going to come a new Swatchbook Weddings.Â
My business has been based solely on custom invitations and it has been great! It has been so exciting working with brides, getting to know them, and developing great relationships which has in turn brought me many referrals and the opportunity to grow my business. I know I’ve gushed quite a few times in my blog posts about how thankful I am, but it just can’t be said enough how much I appreciate all that have played a role. You have given me the confidence to create Swatchbook Weddings & now have given me the confidence to move my business forward. I will be moving away from custom invitations and moving to an online shop. This will give me the chance to create invitation suites that are truly an expression of my passion for design & typography…and hopefully people will like it!
As I am finishing up the jobs I have right now, I will have more time to focus on getting things in order for the new launch. This is a HUGE deal to me & has always been my dream – I am really excited, but nervous of course. I will continue to blog & those that are a part of Swatchbook Weddings on
facebook &
twitter will be really involved with the transformation. I can’t wait to see what’s next!Â
LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT 2010!!!

With the Holiday season being the most popular time for engagements, it’s no surprise that couples are choosing to get married this time of year as well. There’s something special about being cozy inside at a wedding, while the snow falls outside. One way for the bride to keep warm without detracting from her beautiful gown is to wear a shrug, and I am loving this one I found on modernromancepdx’s etsy shop!Â
Red not your color? It’s also available in white, black, silver & ivory.
