...spring trend // florals

I'm spotting gorgeous, big floral prints everywhere! With a closet full of solid neutrals, I'm going to need to go outside my comfort zone a bit, but I'm excited to try this.

...spring trend // pattern!

I love me some neutrals, jeans and a simple top keeps me content, but I think this spring I will be a bit more adventurous!

...spring trend // mint

Teal, seafoam, turquoise, mint, I'm not 100% sure what name to give this fresh gorgeous color but I keep seeing it pop up everywhere! Its a color that has taken a back seat for a bit, while hot pink (not that I'm complaining) took over...but now is it's time to shine!

...the beach in the winter

I have one. more. week. of my crazy work schedule and am celebrating by spending a long weekend at the beach with my boy. I am so excited to relax and go out for yummy dinners and take walks in the sand and not work at all (not going to happen but I will try...). What are you doing this weekend little readers, anything fun? Any ideas of fun things to do at the beach in the winter? Please share!

PS - next week I'm going to share some spring trends I've spotted!

...Meg and Brendan's save the date process

When I get a project my mind immediately starts turning with the possibilities, and this was no exception. My direction was to do a timeline with the long distance relationship theme built in. Meg gave me the storyline and I broke it out and messed with the wording a little bit to get the callouts. I always give the customer either two or three drafts to start and we go from there. Occasionally its close to final, but most often one of the drafts appeals more and we go back and forth a couple times to tweak and make changes until it is perfect!


These are the two versions Meg got to start with:

Meg and Brendan liked the second one best, but wanted more color, so we changed the background to navy and adjusted the details accordingly. However, just to give her all the options I sent a version without a background:

She was happy with the navy, and after a few more tweaks we perfected it and ended up with the final version:

Then I designed the back to compliment it!
