Next Tuesday we will collaborate on two shoots.  Read more about the first here. Now all I need to do before then is dream up the stationery  – will get right on that!

Bouquets, Chairs, Linens, Cake

A last minute addition after raiding my Mom’s china cabinet!  Vintage Noritake Tree in the Meadow China.

And so it seems I am constantly thinking of new ideas and “getting myself into trouble” as my Mom likes to say.  After several weeks of creating pieces for various collaborations with some of the finest vendors in the industry I got to thinking…  Collaborations are one of my favorite aspects of this business.  The power behind a creative team coming together to vision an idea can be, for lack of a better word, magical.  Stunning tabletops like those that you may have seen in the most recent issue of Bride and Bloom from Carissa at JL Designs and Karen of Karen Tran Florals  are the magic I speak of.

So I decided to head up my very own tabletop shoot.  Yes, I know what you may be thinking…A tabletop designed by a stationery artist?  Well yes, design of all kind has always been a passion.  My home has been a veritable sketchbook for the many interior design concepts I experimented with over the years.  Take a look at what things look like around the Holidays and you will see I do love to dabble in creating warm and inviting environments.  So I thought, why not combine my passion for paper details with my love of tabletop design?

Later this month several of my region’s finest wedding professionals will gather to execute two tabletop shoots.    The first of which is Watercolor Harvest.  The details will have an artistic flair – think art books as cake stand while the color palette is inspired by my beloved collection of pink milk glass.  Stay tuned next week when I share a sneak peek into the inspiration behind the second shoot and introduce my partners in crime.

A recent trip to a local auction left me with this beauty, sure to take center stage at the Watercolor Harvest shoot.
