Adèle, Our French Bulldog

Hello,

I just had to share a couple pictures of Adèle, our french bulldog.

She is a small dog with a lot of personality!

Rambo doesn't quite know what to think of her....

I hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Take Care,

{Engagement Session} : Cindle + Ryan - An Intimate Afternoon

Before I bid adieu to you here is a skip down pretty lane courtesy of mlittlephotography. This pretty engagement is like a breath of fresh Arkansas air.  I love how it started off outside with some relaxed and countryside shots, it moved to a wine testing session and finished off with some glamy urban set-ups. It’s such a great way to capture the different personalities of any couple!

So, the dates are set, the plans are being made, and it’s about that time to let people know when the big day is. If you already took your engagement pictures you need STD cards. Check out these Circle Save-the-Date Cards... I have to admit they are pretty stylish!

{Steal Worthy Wedding}: A Parisian Inspired Southern Affair

Happy Wedding Wednesday! I feel like this next Steal Worthy Wedding is a page out of some great French romance film. It’s the kind of wedding that just sweeps you up and makes you fall in love all over again. I discovered this beauty thanks to the nice people from Southern Living who were kind enough to send me a copy of their new special Weddings issue, which features this breath-taking nuptials plus 120 pages of bridal inspiration, Southern style. 

This affair is a tale of a gorgeous Bride and her equally handsome Groom exchanging vows in a jaw-dropping plantation in South Carolina.  On paper, it sounds like a complete dream and in reality, it’s even more so.  Gayle Brooker snapped some amazing imagery for us to drool over and if you can manage to pry your eyes away from the perfect little Monique Lhuillier number, you’ll fall even more in love with every understated yet ever so elegant detail. So sit back, get cozy and spend some time exploring all the fabulousness.

One my favorite details of this fete is the BEAUTIFUL Calligraphy Stationary by Oscar & Emma...swoon!

The soft, yet sophisticated color scheme included ivory (flowers),  grey (bouquets' wrap) and my latest color obsession, soft pink (bridesmaid dresses).

You know I'm a sucker of personal wedding touches. So it will come as no surprise that I love the fact that the ceremony was decorated with peach blossoms - a nod to the bride's father who is in the peach business...how cute is that?

 

A recent trip to Paris inspired the bride to create the soft, romantic feel of the reception. And event designer, Kristin Newman nailed the concept to perfection... it is simply oh la la lovely!
