Sneak peek of a ||Classic Love|| photoshoot!

I have been a busy girl lately between planning for a photoshoot, getting orders done, planning my son's first birthday party (it's tomorrow!), getting bday presents for all the parties we are attending, and the list can go on and on.
Today, I wanted to share some sneak peeks of the photoshoot that we had yesterday and let me tell you, there are some long stories behind that one but the FULL story will come a little later. As for now, enjoy some sneak peeks + behind the scene photos!

A beautiful quote for the shoot. I used this free template and just added some of my own changes. :)
"Once in a while in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale."

CAKE! Oh the things you can do with foam and frosting!
 
Some dessert signs I made. Can't wait to share the photos of the actual desserts! They came out so pretty and SO tasty!
 
Bouquet I made with lace wrapping and a skeleton key.
Keys for the "couples" table.
THE DAY OF
 Here's our model looking like a Q-tip celebrity through the salon. We had some good laughs! Loved it! :D
 
 On our way up to our Plan A location, it started sprinkling so we had to pull over and put a tarp over the antique furniture. Thank God for Kyle because between the crazy CRAZY wind and our lack of "being a man," putting the tarp over correctly without it blowing away...just wouldn't have happened! Haha
 
 Our Plan A location. It was so pretty + perfect and yet, so rainy which made us unexpectedly  choose another location because holding an umbrella over a lovely decorated antique table and getting SOAKED just wasn't cutting it. LOL That didn't last long.
Our Plan B location and final location! Sad part is, it started getting dark-FAST so we actually used the lights from our cars (you can see this in the last photo)! We were determined! :)
 
My camera lens on my phone got super foggy from the rain so this BTS photo came out pretty hazy.
 
Here are a couple photos taken by Kayla V Photography of the final shoot.
(Mind you, it was FREEZING and to have a model in an almost backless wedding dress posing without any complaints was amazing!! Our models are troopers that's for sure! Thanks again Sheena and Kyle!)
That's it for now! I will give you the WHOLE story (and some video) along with the final photos in a later post. It was an adventure kind of day so you may not want to miss this one!

Secret Garden Inspiration

I know that it is about to be winter and most flowers aren't in bloom but I have been thinking about how gorgeous a secret garden themed party would be! Flowers make me so happy and to be surrounded by them with the sun kissing my face and delicious tea touching my lips, I could nearly melt! I found some inspiration photos to share so you can get a little glimps into what I am thinking (maybe for my birthday in August or even just an inspiration shoot?).

This theme would certainly call for a trip to the LA Flower Market (love, love, LOVE that place!)
I adore the purple and pink hues mixed with the greens for the color palette.
Beautiful right?
Now, I just need to search for the perfect garden!

Warm tea, good news, inspiration, & lovelies!

It's a beautiful Thursday morning and with a cup of warm chamomile tea by my side and some glorious motivation, I am ready to take on the day and share some news, inspiration, and lovelies!
First, some good news which all happened yesterday! One, my sister in law got married!!! Yaaayyy! Congrats Kristin & Berto (who are currently on thier honeymoon).

& Two, I received my "official" acceptance letter to nursing school!
When I recieved the envelope, I was literally shaking while I was opening it! I have been praying really hard lately about what path the Lord has for me when it comes to schooling and since I applied last application process but didn't get in (due to some class units that I received at CBU and not VVC), I was very apprehensive to reading what the outcome was for this application letter. As soon as I saw CONGRATULATIONS I was relieved, excited and yet overwhelmed all at once with tears in my eyes! This must be confirmation from the Lord and I intend on making the most of it all! I start this spring with the 2 pre reqs I must complete (pharmacology :-/ & nursing assessment) before I can actually start "official" nursing school in the fall. I'm excited to be able to give our little family an even better future and although it's gonna be tough, God will find a way and this brings me much peace about it all! :)

{Now for some inspiration & lovelies I stumbled across this morning}

I absolutely love this quote :) I want to make something similar to this to add to my crafting room!


This would be my sanctuary!
