Hochzeitsideen - Concrete #2

Posted: Print Article 1. Meditation for your perfect wedding: One of the ways the human mind magnetizes the things we want in life is through visual imagery and ritual. It helps make our dreams more concrete, and helps us move toward them. This concept can help you clarify, and move toward, the wedding experience you truly desire.

Inspired by dark shades of iridescent blue combined with textures of modern luxury: faux furs, opulent linens, concrete and crystal vessels, and organic, overflowing floral arrangements, today's gorgeous styled shoot is the perfect inspiration for a city soirée. Staged at the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Vanessa Noel Events tapped into her local resources + brought a bevy of...

I rarely set New Year's resolutions, and if I do they're usually just intentions to do certain things better or more productively. Statistically speaking New Year's resolutions usually fail anyway so why set yourself up for a fall like that?! But I am a bit believer in goal setting. Goals focus the mind and give you something concrete to aim for so you're not just flailing around and making it all up as you go along (well, for some of the time).

Welcome to a whole new world. Your dates will take you anywhere -- there's time to share -- just don't expect either of you to text each other back.

Isn't love grand?! Don't you wish you could escape into your own personal paradise when you are with your special someone? That's just what the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens did for Chad and Sami's paradise found wedding. A lush green hide away in the middle of the concrete chaos of L.A.

I know it's still winter but these shy rays of sun outside evoke spring images in my head. I still dream about having my own garden to sit by the pond or cultivate my own beds of roses.

You may remember seeing the DIY Concrete Candle post with Kelly Perry of Philosophy Flowers and Heather Payne Photography earlier this month. Today the duo is back with an invitation to create with them in person in the beautiful mountains of Boone, North Carolina.

Although I’m a die-hard New Yorker, I have a little obsession with the city of Boston.  It has maintained it’s small town vibe among the skyscrapers and hustle and bustle.  So when Prudente Photography shared this little love shoot with us, it only took  me a city minute to fall in love.  A city with equal amounts of garden, concrete, and cute coffee shop backgrounds depending on which corner you […]

Finishing up with the Donna Wilson inspiration today with a last tablescape from Matthew Robbins.  They were able to utilize a lot of the same succulents from yesterday in a totally different way, just proving there are so many options out there when it comes to centerpieces!  Paired with painted DIY’d concrete planters and a painted [...]
