tea for two

A beautiful couple, a vintage-styled table {set for tea for two}, antique furniture {LOVE, LOVE the couch}, soft pink and whites tones, anemone flowers and even a pocket watch accessory for the groom…this shoot, photographed by Stacey Bishop Photography, really is lovely and quite pretty.

This stylized wedding shoot was created out of the love for all things classic and lovely. From a historic home, antique furniture and details, classically styled attire to the soft color scheme of the flowers, this gorgeous bride and groom take us to a simpler time without compromising style!

back to school week

Though we are not starting back in school ourselves {thank God…I still have nightmares about not studying for an exam or not being able to find my locker on the first day}, its back to school time for many kids, teenagers and adults. So, this week we’re inspired by all-things-school and hope it brings a little bit of the classroom into your life again {in a good way}.
