decorate / bar cabinet

I recently spotted this BEAUTIFUL bar cabinet floating around Pinterest and just had to share. Turns out the spread is from Domino Magazine.



I love the color, the hardware, and especially the diamond pattern. The Lasalle cabinet is on sale at Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams!

wed / watercolor invitations

Scrolling through my recent pins, I noticed a pattern of watercolor stationery and invitations. I love that it can be casual and beach-y, formal with calligraphy, or a mix of the two. From festive to elegant, there are so many pretty inspiration photos out there. And there are tons of great DIY tutorials out there too!

wed / wedding branding

Awesome wedding idea alert!! Last night I was poking around online looking for wedding branding ideas and wedding branding guides and stumbled upon a new website called Violet. Violet "is an online service that helps you create your own wedding style, complete with a custom logo and professional Style Guide." Currently the site is in Beta and I can't wait to see what comes next!




Naturally I immediately made an account so I could test drive the site. They have more than a dozen styles to work with ranging from modern to classic to rustic. First you fill out a quick profile about you, your date, and (my favorite) your love story in a tweet! Then you can choose some inspiration photos or upload your own, choose colors, customize the logo, include a style statement, and then download a style guide!! I love seeing all the design details come together just like a professional branding sheet. Here's one I made for fun:

I think this is an amazing tool for couples who want a cohesive look and feel to the wedding, but either don't have the budget for custom design or don't have the time to delve so far into the process. I can't wait to see how the site grows and evolves!

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Violet; I just am excited about the brand!
