guest post: bridalhood.

while i'm away in colorado, my incredible friend debbie from bridalhood
has put together this colorful, beautiful inspiration board to share with all of you
inspired by her dreams of a fiesta wedding and a potential shoot for us to do together! deb-absolutely.
here's what she had to say:

I'm so excited Rach asked me to guest post while she was away making wedding dreams come true. I have had the pleasure of working with Rachael on a couple of photoshoots - first our warm and cozy yarn shoot and then we collaborated on the Inspired Creations "Champagne and Plumes" shoot. As much as I loved conceptualizing and crafting our shoots together what I enjoyed the most was getting to know and become friends with this special lady. We both followed each other through our engagement bliss and wedding planning adventures on our blogs and both moved to Oregon at the same time right after our weddings. I was so sad to see Rach and Noah move away but I know our friendship will remain and I can't wait to see them again in So Cal.

I think if I had to do my wedding over again it would be with a fiesta themed (for those of you that follow Bridalhood this would come as no surprise). So today I wanted to share a Fiesta Themed inspiration board. I also wanted to throw a challenge out to my girl Rach - how about we make this our next and best photoshoot yet. I've been dying to execute an idea like this and what better place then So Cal. You find the perfect place and Keith and I will be there with bells on for another reunion. 

How many of you lace and likes followers would like to see this one come to life?

have a beautiful tuesday!

hello darlins' 

hope your thursday morning is going beautifully.

i promised you photos of the projects i've been working on and i am ready to deliver.

i have been working like a mad-woman finishing these things up for kimberly and riley

seeing as i'm leaving for their colorado affair next weekend and i'm so so excited to put this together.

their midsummer night's dream, shakespearean, tree inspired wedding is going to be a blast. 

i'm going to share photos mostly rather than DIY tutorials but if you have any questions about how-to's feel free to email me- contact@laceandlikes.com-or if there's one that stands out to you lovelies, let me know and i'll do one later on ;)

kind of hard to make out, but these are their "branded" favor bags

 (burlap bags, custom stamp)

 (tan burlap, metallic gold spray paint, sweet folky stencils-from michaels)

 (mossy green burlap, vintage gold frames, stencils and spray paint)

got a little too into this one- ps can you see the gold spray paint on my fingers?!? serious spray-paintin.

(thick felt, skinny dowels, fabric shears, hot glue) 

and finally, one of my favorites-a flower girl crown of purple buds.

 (gold ribbon, dried purple buds, wrapped wire, hot glue)
