Courted by Ralph

I've been luck to have been a part of Issues 01, 02, and 05, of Nonpareil Magazine, an online magazine that approaches weddings and other occasions with a focus on hip, stylish, do-it-yourself projects and inspiration.

In the latest issue, which you can view here, the world of fashion inspired beautifully crafted tablescapes and entertaining ideas. Our Courted by Ralph themed shoot was, of course, inspired by designer Ralph Lauren and honored his iconic style. The concept for the shoot was developed and styled by Victoria Hudgins and shot by Jackie Wonders. The cake and desserts were artfully whipped up by Melody Brandon.

The floral arrangement for the dessert table was simple, classic, and elegant designed with green goddess calla lilies. A bit of whimsey came into play with the tennis balls designed with kermit mums.

Nonpareil Magazine Issue 5: A Spectrum of Inspiration

I had the pleasure of working with Vicky of City Cradle Design and Jackie of Jackie Wonders Photography for Issue 5 of the newly designed Nonpareil Magazine. Vicky had such great vision and direction for the shoot and all the DIY details were perfectly captured by Jackie. Two amazing girls to work with, these two. The shoot was more like three girls hanging out, crafting, designing, and laughing. I loved every minute of it! Get inspired and get crafting.

Purple, so hot right now. Purple.

Nonpareil Magazine Issue 2: Naturally Sweet, Beautifully Bold

After Issue 1 of Nonpareil Magazine launched, the talented Daisy Varley contacted me to assist her in creating the floral design for her tablescape featured in Issue 2. Issue 2 was all about color! The color palette Daisy was inspired by was made up of turquoise, creamy peony, honey yellow, saffron, and walnut. Natural with pops of color! For the natural elements, I knew I had to incorporate air plants for texture and because I just LOVE them! Pussy willow, birch, seeded eucalyptus rounded out the natural elements while the ranunculus, anemone, acacia, and chocolate cymbidium orchids added pops of color. All of the paper styling was created by Kristen Ketola of Dear Clementine Invitations.
