Last weekend, R and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. I love thinking about our wedding. It was seriously the best weekend ever. 

I am still kind of obsessed with my dress. 

Christmas ornaments as escort cards.

I worked my grandmothers art (and her dessert recipes) into the sweets table.

Lounge in use ;)

And we danced the night away....

Sneak Peek: Baby Shower Photoshoot

Take a look at a few shots from last weekends baby shower with Rook & Rose. Don't you love how Erica styled the Lottie Peacock Chair and the Owen Magazine Rack? And how amazing are these pictures by Studio 1079? 

Getting ready for V-Day

We barely put away the holiday lights but love is in the air in my little world! Here are some goods you could use for a Valentine's photo shoot, party or private dinner for two.

1. Lottie Peacock Chairs. Perfect for an engagement photo shoot. Drape florals around the top, add lambskin throws and pillows to further soften the look. 
2. Astor Love Marquee Sign. Say it with lights. Having a soiree? Nothing says love like, love. 
3. Yates Chairs. The perfect blank slate for pillows and petals. 
4. Neva Pink Coasters. Add a pop of color to your tabletop with these agate coasters. 
5. Charles Chairs. Red is the color of the moment. Swap your dining chairs with these to spice up your dinner at home. 
6. Leroy Bar Cart. Dessert bar? Surprise gift? Leroy can help.
7. Vintage Champagne Coupes. 2 or 200 we have vintage champagne coupes to toast with.

'Tis the season

It's almost dinner party season ;) There is a crispness in the air and I've seen a few warm hued leaves brushing past me on my morning commute. I will hold on to you, Summer, as long as I can but I do love the notion of our long table filled with friends, warm cosy food, red wine and lots of laughter.

Coming soon - marquee signs!

I picked up a few of these marquee signs. They will be in in a few weeks. :)

Dinner party

It's probably no surprise that I like a good dinner party. It's also likely no surprise that when you live in a place like Victoria, BC, your world becomes reeeeally small ;) I realized there were multiple connections between a group of old and new friends and decided to get everyone together for dinner at my house. Here are a few pics. I so wish I had taken more! 

Cool setting

Tell me this isn't one of the coolest wedding settings you've ever seen. You can't 'cause it is ;) The New Children's Museum in San Diego.

RockPaperSquare + 100Layer Cake!

A couple months back, Marika, from Rock Paper Square, reached out to about a photo shoot she was planning, to show off her event planning and design skills. I was happy to provide furniture and accessories.

The day was a blast (pics here). We sipped cider, chatted about women in business, worked hard to get the best shots and I was lucky to connect with these lovely and creative ladies here in Victoria (Lillie Louise, Rook & Rose, Ma-Luxe, Ruth & Dean, Covet + Keep...I'm talking about you ;)

The shoot is now live on 100 Layer Cake! Here are some extra shots from that fabulous day. 

The candids of Blayke and Allie are my favorite. They are an incredible (real life) couple. 

A special thank you to Lillie Louise Photography for the stellar job she did with these pictures.  

Orange chairs / Tolix stools / teal Eames chair are available for rent. Email hello@bashspeciality.com Rent on.

A fine combo.

This styled shoot from SMP is a great example how to mix the vintage aesthetic with a more modern / industrial one. The colors are soft but with a bit of pop. The chairs are metal and hard but the metallic textured fabric offers a nice compliment. Mixing vintage dishes with modern linens and mason jars with gold potted succulents also shows how these two styles can live together happily.
