mailed with love

Remember when you first felt those butterflies with your crush in high school and passed love notes to each other? Translate that feeling years later {and multiply by a hundred!} when you found the one you love and are now marrying. Love notes are just too sweet <3

This new custom letterpress design by Elum is as sweet as they come and perfect for a contemporary, one-of-a-kind wedding invitation. Order with your special day wording, change colors, and customize with us at Fleur de Lis.

kara + jay engagement session

This engagement shoot of Kara and Jay is so sweet. We adore its simplicity with the neutral colors, rustic charm and gotta love those cowboy boots! The talented Laura Murray of Laura Murray Photography captured the beautiful snapshots at Jay’s family cabin outside Colorado Springs, Colorado. The place has a lot of personal significance to Kara and Jay, and it was perfect for an engagement shoot!

styled shoot at cordillera

Frosted trees. White snow. Colorado’s natural beauty.
There’s definitely something to be said about love in the Rocky Mountains…

This styled shoot at The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera from fun and fabulous Colorado Wedding Photographers, Chris and Adrienne Scott Photography, will definitely have you feelin’ the love.

From Sarah, the stylist and coordinator of the shoot … My inspiration came from my pink rose silk scarf that kept me warm (during a visit to starbucks on a cold Colorado day) and a pinecone I found in my front yard. Though they are two different textures, colors, and tangible objects, I wanted to see the two come together in an elegant fashion. Because I live in Colorado, I wanted to take advantage of a mountain vendor [The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera] that allowed me to use my creativity and bring my idea to life. The overall look that I was going for was soft elegance meets the mountains. I was risking a lot due to the changing Colorado weather, but it turned out beautiful and the models were fantastic – despite the inch of snow that fell the night before!

This was me and my hubby’s very first styled shoot {I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear a wedding dress again?!}
What a great, fun and freezing experience it was! Enjoy 🙂

be my diy valentine

We are hopeless romantics, and although we believe you shouldn’t tell the people you love that you love them one time a year {you should tell them all the time}, we love a reason to celebrate love and Valentine’s Day gives us a reason!

From DIY crafts to gift ideas, sweets, creative valentine’s for the little ones and parties…this will be your one-stop-shop for Valentine’s Day this year. Even the V-Day haters might get some lovin…

If you have any ideas, throw a fabulous Valentine’s Day party or want to feature your clever Valentine’s Day idea, send it to trejsorelle@gmail.com and we’ll feature it.

This matchbox how-to for ‘the perfect match’ from Ruffled Blog is so adorable for a wedding favor and a great gift with a sweet-smelling candle.

I love this festive Cupcake Liner Wreath, tutorial found at Tatertots and Jello, especially for a sweet holiday like Valentine’s Day.

Kathleen at Twig and Thistle has a lovely downloadable template for brownies packaged in craft paper bags here.

These homemade, individual mailboxes for valentine’s by The Anderson Crew are insanely cute, and the kids are sure to love them.

Transform matchboxes into colorful boxes filled with candy. Directions can be found at Inchmark.


These votives we found at Mint got a face-lift with pretty paper, lace and doilies. Makes for a great diy gift and decor for any party. Directions here.

We also fell in love with Mint’s Succulent Love Garden. So pretty and such a sweet gift or decor for your home for the holiday of love.

time to tango

Exciting news in the world of color…The Pantone 2012 Color of the Year is Pantone 17-1463 Tangerine Tango.

So, what’s our take on Tangerine Tango…it’s bold, but we like it and after creating these inspiration boards, we are on the verge of loving it. Though orange is not our favorite color, splashes of it are bold and dramatic, and beautiful. And, this spirited reddish-orange can inspire and uplift all areas of your life – home, fashion and your walk down the aisle.

Just like Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute® said, “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”
