Style Greecian

We all enjoy comfortably soft and pretty fabrics. This gals style is all that and the elegance of natural beauty. More excitingly is being oh so stylish on your wedding day.Grecian style has surpassed the revenge of the nerd era with their classic toga wear. A classic attire in the college years, thank goodness, Not anymore! I invite you to shed the old tired ideals and graduate to the profound look of the 20th Century Grecian Goddess.

The Goddess you were meant to be.

 

sophisticated, honor, strength. . and elegance from within.  

 The bridal headpieces and Milk glass bridal cuff are the perfect finishing pieces to this one shoulder organic bridal gown. This bridal style is a beautiful fusion of nature and love. Mind you this selection is for the brave as the Grecian women themselves that uphold its beauty. A great selection for personal wedding with close friends and family.

 

This look is effortlessly elegant and one of my very favorites.
Don't you just love it?

NEW Perspective

Each New Year inspires a new perspective and if you're like me you are excited to make waves in 2013.
I'm personally looking forward to purchasing a NEW Microsoft Surface as well as sketching up some fun invitations, and spending time with friends and family. Most of all, I can't wait to live the moments that will take my breath away. The best part of these moments is that we can record them or snap a shot for our albums. Yay, I love technology! These are a few shots I would love in my photoalbum. I came across these great photos when I opened my Pinterest of the week e-mail today. I was quickly captivated by Alison Vandehei's photography of couples board. The photography is beautiful and I had to give kuddos to the photographers and their great eye for fun photos. Don't worry "Kuddos" is a good thing. Two thumbs way up in my book.

Flagged

I want to be flagged for some good Lovin like this couple. This is a great picture of simple yet fun elements that make you want to say aww! I find this pose a necessity in any great photo album. Photograph by: Dainty Blue
A simple, I love this photo wouldn't do. I was intrigued Sooo....I had to do a little digging up of the fabulous photographer of this creative shot. Her name is Maritza and when you visit her site you get the overall feel of her lens insight; clean, authentic and filled with the hearts song. Not only does she say so herself, I completely agree! Her work is fabulous and she has a great eye for natural feelings as they are reflected in her shots. There you have it if you are in search of a great photographer feel free to say hello to Maritza, I'm sure she will love to accommodate your every photography needs.

Hearts Song

As I continued "paroozing" Alison Vandehei's couple photography board I came across another photo that I love for its element of fun and the diverse ways you can use this photo taken by Big Bang photography.

I realize this is not a typical couple photo and this is the reason why I loved it. One look at this photo and my mind runs wild with many ways to use this photo; engagement announcement, Save the dates or as a daily reminder of love to be taped on your loved ones windshield. These are only a few ways that you can use this photo, but I'm sure there are tons of things you can do with this fun shot.     

                                                                     
"live" shot

As I continued to admire these photographs I can't help but wonder what other great shots will come about this year. I'm rea;lly loving all of these feel this new wave of shots. Photography is moving in a new direction, a very naturally lively direction and I love it. The "typical" stand and shoot sessions seems to be behind us, thank goodness.  No offence those make great yearbook pictures but I crave shots where life happens.

I have a few ideas for my very own live shots that will be included into my photoalbum.  I want a partner in crime shot where gentleman give the lady a boost over a wall or fence.  Don't worry we won't break any laws maybe just broken falls and silly smiles. I will also include a pillow fight scene. Pretty self explanatory, but I do want to capture the fun, laughter and the feather spills. Ooh that sounds messy and awesome! I will keep you posted on those pictures coming soon. How about you, Do you have any fun ideas for fun photos. Feel free to share them below, I would love to hear your great ideas.

Be inspired to inspire . . . Love Cisne



Poppy red wedding and events

 

Summer went as fast as the color trail of a hummingbird on wheels. Just as hummingbirds grace us with their beautiful colors so do the seasons. Every season has a favorite color but lately I seem to favor poppy red. Isn't it a bold blooming color of one of the prettiest flowers of the season? A bold pop of red on a small delicate flower. These days it has found a place in clothing, furniture and stationary amongst other must have items. Poppies are immediately recognizable by the attention this tone demands. It truly is a bloom of its own especially when used to spruce up your wedding day.

In Full Bloom
 

Every poppy is beauty in its own, but when paired with pink, teal or marmalade it will transition into a striking engagement. Selecting poppies as your bridal inspiration can be tough though. Many try to place this color in every element of their wedding and find themselves lost in a field of red. Poppy red can be overwhelming at times. Just as a field of poppies compliments the home(photo above), your poppy elements should be a compliment to your event not the main attraction.
 

 

Homegrown Inspiration

Every bride deserves to shine in the company of her bridesmaids. Together you flourish in blooms of your own in these wonderful alternatives to a traditional bridal boutique find. 

The blooms of poppy red can be incorporated or complimented into a pattern, texture or color of fabric in your bridesmaids dress selection. Comfort and boldness with a hint of sweet floral elements is some of the poppies best qualities.

Your bridesmaids will be a homegrown inspiration in these lovely bridal dresses. Not your typical bridal gowns but oh so pretty as if they were picked from the poppy fields themselves.

What did you think of this wonderful seasonal mix? How did you use this color in your event. Feel free to brag by leaving a comment below.

NEWs trending

You have pulled off some impressive proposals to speak these four magical words, "Will you marry me?"  As the proposal trends continue to change they carry a common heartfelt effort to convey the most intimate of feelings in the boldest and most romantic ways.
Your proposal was awesome, why stop there? Keep the awesome going with this little { OK big } neat idea.

Awesome Neat

Save the dates, if you choose to incorporate into your wedding, is the very first piece of bridal stationary where you can incorporate lively couple spunk{ness}. Each year save the dates have evolved into many forms: stationary, secrets in a bottle, treasure chests and now my favorite bridal magazines. Completely trendy... I LUV this idea.

News Worthy


Who doesn't crave a good love story especially that of your favorite auntie, cool cousin and wickedly awesome best friend? Genius is the idea and magazine is what I say. Magazines for weddings for stories worth being told, not only is this a great motto but a great keepsake for your friends and family. Incorporate your how me met story, fun couple facts, and fun details for your wedding into your very own bridal magazine.

Take this idea a little further and make this your save the date, invitation or guest keepsake for your wedding. The possibilities are endless. I simply love this great find and I'm happy to show you where you can find it too. Simply visit Twentypages.com and you will be steps away from creating your Newsworthy trend set bridal magazine.

I'm not affiliated with this company In any way shape or form, but I can't keep great things to myself. I just simply love to share especially when the idea is so trendy and so you.
Keeping love, life and happiness trendy and savvy!

Inspirational

Hello ya'll, First I would like to apologize for neglecting my blog. It really isn't mal intentioned. I promise to stop beeing un-organized....I realize that when I avoid others, I am only avoiding myself..... Say what? Organization, thats what. This is only a bit and piece of what I have been up to lately. Which brings me to the reason why I have been away. Everyone has many a things to do, but when life is halted by a shoe I trip over every morning I had to stop and say, this has to change. I soon realized this shoe was my concious lurking up on me and letting me know that my life has become chaotic.

"Help is on the Way"

If you have come across your literal or imaginary shoe I invite you to turn another leaf on organization because "help is on the way" (so eloquently said by Robin williams as Mrs.Doubtfire). You see I have begun an organization course on  a leap of faith on Alejandra of AlejandraTV. I came across Alejandra's channel on YouTUBE.com. I love you tube and even more so now that I found AlejandraTV. Alejandra is an organization gooroo that has learned from her own search for caotic liberation which is one of the reason why I believe in her skills. Its one thing to teach from books and another is because you've walked the walk as they say. Look up her channel and see how she has organized her life or take her fre 7-day organization classes and  tell me she doesn't inspire you? I encourage you to take the plunge and come along with with me on my organization courses to declutter the "shoes" in life.
I have completed the 7 day free course last week and I have begun the full life-course this week and it has been great thus far. I promise no to be a spoiler but I will be sharing my progress or tidbits of my organization from here forth. One of the items on the To Do list is to create an inspirational paragraph, phrase or quote for a daily boost of confidense. I wanted to share mine with you. Anyone that knows me knows that I love Audrey so it was only natural that my inspirational sheet be of her wise words. Share your thoughts on the course, AlejandraTV or my Audrey inspiration sheet, I'd love to read your thoughts.
If you wish a print out of my inspirational sheet please feel free to let me know by leaving a comment below.
