Jennifer and Greg are perfectly-adorable and the consummate beach couple! Because they spend so much of their time on the beach and in the water, it’s only natural that they would choose Honey Moon Island in Dunedin, FL for their engagement session. Their beach photos are so fun–and a great snapshot into their relaxed and playful sides.
And we love that Jennifer couldn’t choose just one Save the Date–but four! I can’t say I blame her–their photos are fab!
Enjoy.
Wedding Style: We are going for a rustic beach wedding look. I want all the dresses to be very flow-y–nothing stiff or heavy. {I feel so lucky to have Pinterest in my life!}
Colors: Coral, Tan and Light Aqua/Teal.
Ceremony, Cocktail hour & Reception:
Our ceremony will be toes in the sand followed by cocktail hour on the grass under a gazebo overlooking the beach. The reception will be in the ball room at the Tradewinds Resort on St. Pete Beach, FL.
Photographer: Alicia Danene Photo–on Facebook.
Alicia is a friend of the family and she photographed us at Honey Moon Island in Dunedin, FL. We had so much fun doing the shoot! Greg and I live on Indian Rocks Beach, FL so it was appropriate to have the shoot at a beach. We are ALWAYS in the water, beach cruising, surfing or hanging out at a local beach bar.

For today’s Color Monday, we’re going to look at the marvelous flexibility of Damask patterns.
Damask has the ability to transform the overall feel with the colors you use. It can be bold or soft, vintage or traditional–all the while being modern and trendy.
We’re using three of our Damask Wedding Invitations to discover and illustrate how transforming these color changes can be. On the left is Floral Ornament Wedding Invitation a traditional and bold damask design.
The modern and trendy Damask Dream Wedding Invitations is on the right. Front and center is the soft, vintage feel of Romance in Paris Wedding Invitation. These three diverse designs will all be transformed by color into completely new looks.
So let’s start off with a bold color palette.
Pop! When damask is used with hot, vibrant colors it becomes very unique and trendy. Bold colors jump right off the invitation. These wedding looks will not be forgotten!
But can something as strong as damask be soft and subtle too?
Of course. It’s so hard to resist these luscious color combinations! The sweet and airy designs are just what you want for a romantic and charming wedding invitation.
Can we make it look vintage just by changing the colors?
Yes–the tones now are muted to reveal these beautiful color combinations.
Now, let’s revert back to traditional Damask …
Clean and absolutely lovely. These colors suggest a more formal affair …
Remember … that all of these combinations have resulted from using the same three wedding invitations! Amazing! And of course you can do this too! Inside Design Studio, our personalization tool, you can play around with color all you want! Totally transform the look of the invitations just using color combinations to get the look and feel you want.
What style of damask to you like the best? Which is the most trendy?
Thanks for stopping by!

What is your favorite symbol of everlasting love? A wedding ring? A bouquet of roses? A love letter? An engraved padlock?
My bosses were in Germany recently, and all I got were these three very cool photos of the “Love Locks” on the Hohenzollernbrucke railway and pedestrian bridge in Cologne. Are you familiar? A fairly new trend {last 10-12 years or so}, Love Locks are found mostly in Europe, in Canada and if you look closely, in the U.S. too. Been to Lovelock, Nevada or the Brooklyn Bridge lately?
What’s it all about? Forever love! This romantic movement involves couples professing their love by etching their initials onto a lock … attaching it to a bridge, post, fence or if you’re in Moscow–a tree–and then throwing away the key. Here in Cologne, couples toss their keys into the Rhine River.
Although not exactly eco-friendly, it is entirely romantic! Could you see yourself locking your love?
Bridges are romantic all by themselves but to see all these colorful, personalized locks has got to be inspiring!
Have you been here or seen the Love Locks somewhere else?
Sigh …
Thoughts?
