GWS Hearts Our Talented Advertisers!

Saturday, August, 18, 2012 at 8:00 am

We absolutely love all our great sponsors here at GWS, so I wanted to take a moment this weekend and highlight a few of them. :) First up is Untamed Petals. Untamed Petals has been a sponsor with us for a few years, but I wanted to highlight the brand new collection of party dresses from Amanda Judge – the designer behind Untamed Petals! Her new shop carries not only the gorgeous hairpieces we have grown to love, but also pretty party dresses (perfect for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and more at super affordable prices), jewelry, bridal accessories and more!

Weddings by Two are a group of talented photographers based in New York City. Their images are playful, ironic, romantic and beautiful. They use a mix of different cameras (including film + digital) to capture all the moments you never want to forget.

Brent & Jess are the designers of the original fingerprint wedding bands. Each ring is handmade one at a time using the ancient lost wax casting method in their studio in Maine. Their truly unique, patented process enables them to get real finger texture, not a representation or drawing of it. Such a unique detail for your wedding band, right?!

Gilded Shadows creates handmade bridal hair accessories with modern flair and a vintage soul. Their designs feature exceptional quality feathers, fabric, and beautiful vintage millinery and jewel details. No two pieces are alike and are completely unique and original – handmade by the designer in Los Angeles. She also takes custom orders and orders of 4 or more will receive a 10% discount! Perfect if you want something special for you and your bridesmaids or groomsmen.

Lynette Boyle Photography is located in San Francisco, California. Lynette’s style is candid, light and idyllic. She loves shooting with creative compositions and gets inspired by watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s! :) She also has a special offer for GWS readers! I would like to offer a free engagement session to the first three couples that book their wedding package by the end of September. So, check out more of her work on her blog!

And if you are looking for other talented artists for your day, be sure to check out our GWS Preferred Wedding Artist Gallery. We are adding more talented artists each week! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

I’ll leave you lovelies with one sneak peek photo from our special feature and amazing contest we will be sharing on Monday morning! Can’t wait!! :) Photo by This Modern Romance.

Wedding Invitations from Beloved Indeed Paperie

Friday, August, 17, 2012 at 11:00 am

I’m totally love the new wedding collection from Beloved Indeed Paperie. Each collection is a unique set of invitations that was designed to feel custom; instead of just a template where names, date, and place are replaced. Each invitation has a story and is totally customizable with mix-n-match patterns, colors, and fonts so that your invitation suite feels customized to you and tells your own unique story.

There’s Emilia: she’s hip and cool; never lingering too far from the sea…

Then there is Indiana: full of fresh summer greens and simple modern taste…

Sullivan is a glittery and gold goodie from a different era!

Sophia. She’s a girly-girl – feminine and sweet.

Anne is elegant with a little bit of soft edge and pattern.

While Ashley lays in the garden daydreaming…

Which lady is your fave? I’m between Indiana and Emilia! :)

Beloved Indeed Paperie is a stationery and paper goods business located in Orange County, California. Through the use of type, pattern, color, and illustration, Beloved Indeed Paperie designs custom stationery that tells a story and leaves a lasting and memorable impression. With a focus in custom wedding invitations, Beloved Indeed Paperie also offers a wedding, baby, and social collection in their online shoppe.

Handmade Atlanta Wedding with Lots of Textiles: Emily + Kevin

Friday, August, 17, 2012 at 6:00 am

Some brides have their wedding day planned out long before the proposal and that is exactly how Emily was – in fact, nearly seven years before the proposal! :) JCT Kitchen + Bar in Atlanta, Georgia was the perfect canvas for their day, and they made sure to include pieces from their travels to India, cool pieces from Emily’s company BoBo Intriguing Objects, and other randoms that spoke to their love of textiles, paper, color + of course camels! It took them many hours to compete all the handmade projects – a real labor of love – but they wouldn’t have had it any other way. Congrats to Emily + Kevin and thanks so much to Kyle Hale for the photos!

Love the bridesmaids dresses! And let’s talk about Emily’s dress!! So fab – especially with all those great necklaces!

We are OBSESSED with live music! We had our band booked before our venue, ha! We built our set-list from scratch with songs we love to sing and dance to and it absolutely helped make the day feel uber personal – not to mention the top secret “mini-set” where my hubby rocked out on guitar with the band!

The last song the band played was the Beatles' "Hey Jude." At some point near the end of the song, organically, the entire crowd on the dance floor formed a circle around the two of us and Kevin lifted me up in the air, and we just danced together alone in the center, surrounded by all our friend and family singing to us and waving their arms in the air. It was beyond. Just magical. Oh, that...OR the 10 minute long freight train that moseyed on through during our vows.

Carry out your vision exactly as you see it and think about how you want to feel it + your day will be perfection.
