i do monograms

So in earlier post I shared that my beautiful little sister is getting married and has asked me to be her matron of honor (yay!) She has decided to have a citrus themed wedding, using shades of orange, green and yellow, with accents of pink... i love it! This is what I originally put together for her to help her see what the overall concept would look like:



Since she's decided on this color scheme, I've been scouring the interent for different "citrus" wedding related ideas and have come up with a TON! Now I'm in the process of putting them all together for a little inspiration. Here's are some great citrus centerpieces I've found:









All of these photos were found on flikr. I have a ton of other pics that I've been saving so keep checking back for more "citrus" ideas!

Wedding season is in full effect, which means I've been busy busy busy! I've been working double time to make up for lost-time and many brides should be receiving packages in the mail very shortly! I am so excited for my clients to see their items in person, that's one of the best parts about the whole process. Not only have I been staying busy helping my clients with their weddings, but many of my friends are getting married soon so I'm in wedding heaven! This weekend will be the second of nine, (yes NINE!) weddings that we'll be attending over the next year and a half- SHEW! Since we'll be gone for the weekend I wanted to leave you with a peek of some of my latest creations to tie you over until Monday- enjoy!

In keeping with honoring VT, I think Hokie colors would be a goregous color combo. for a wedding. You would never really think that orange and maroon would go together, but they really make a stunning combination. Here's a little maroon and orange inspiration!

As you can imagine, this past week has been very difficult for our community. We have used this week to spend time with family, friends, and loved ones. It has been an emotionally draining time, but also a time to recognize the strength and unity not only of the Virginia Tech community, but of the entire nation. Words cannot express how grateful I am for everyone who made a point to contact me expressing their condolences. I have received so many messages from past and present clients, as well as others that I have not yet had a chance to work with but who view my website and read this blog. From the bottom of my heart... Thank you!

Virginia Tech family members across the country have united to declare this Friday, April 20th, an "Orange and Marroon Effect" day to show support for Virginia Tech students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, and friends. "Orange and Marroon Effect" was born several years ago as an invitation to Tech fans to wear marroon and orange to athletic events. We invite everyone from all over the country to be a part of the Virginia Tech family this Friday, to wear marroon and orange to support the families of those who were lost, and to support the school and community we all love so much.
