On a very windy afternoon in Denver today, our fearless leader, Ms. Kerri Butler, took me on my first jaunt to Hermès… Upon entering the shoppe, I was speechless to say the least… The colors are the first thing that spring to mind when entering… the patterns are breathtaking, and the craftmanship… a work of art. I have many scarves, however, I have never owned an Hermès scarf… This will change one day soon… one day, I will own an Hermès scarf … and it will be very special to me. For those who idolize things colorful and revere unique patterns, here is some beauty to enjoy :)

 

 

one word….LOVE!

enjoy the beautiful colors and patterns… and….be inspired :)

 

We love lace, and are seeing it everywhere lately… in envelopes, wreathes, and of course dresses. Lace has always been a popular wedding trend, but we love the way it is being translated in to every wedding element.

We were fortunate to be able to give our input in the new Brides Colorado Spring/Summer 2010 issues if creative ceremony ideas! Our ideas included:

“Choose readings from your favorite childhood book,” says Kerri Butler of A Touch of Bliss. “Authors like Dr, Seuss and Shel Silverstein are popular. Guests love the nostalgic charm of these passages, and it’s a way for couples to include material that’s close to their hearts is more traditional selections aren’t the right fit!”

“In order to remember close family member who’ve passed away, I often suggest that couples leave an empty seat at the ceremony, with a single flower placed on it”, says Kerri, “It’s a sweet, beautiful way to pay respect to those who couldn’t be with you.”

Two things:

1) I think we need a different acronym for Save-The-Dates than STD

2) I realized this after re-reading my first attempt at a title for this post and saw that it said “STD LOVE”.  That, my friends, is a completely different kind of blog!!!

What I am about to show you is nothing but class, elegance and a bit of quirkiness. Mr. Boddington’s Studio is an eccentric little shop set in the middle of bustling New York City where the elusive Mr. Boddington (be sure to read his bio on the website) comes up with the most adorable, personable and unique correspondence a gal (or guy!) could ask for.  Check below for some lovely inspiration through some recent STD’s …Save-The-Dates of his.  (Hint: The rest of the blog is CHOCK-FULL of exceptionally gorgeous wedding inspiration! So read on!)

Some sample Save-The-Dates

Thanks to my dear friend and designer back home, Allie for pointing us towards this prettiness!
