Personality Board #9

Why are they called "Personality Boards" and not just inspiration boards, like the others I've seen? Simply, because they're more personal. As much as the artist in me loves details and pretty things, I believe a wedding to be so much more. An honest reflection of your life and your love and what makes you happiest. Further, when I work with clients for their weddings and homes, I start out by casting a vision -- a result that is like a Personality Board on steroids.
Then on more steroids. They're big.

That said, here's another. Isn't it pretty?

What's one piece of inspiration you've connected with but can't seem to tie into your event/interior? Do share! Maybe I'll make a custom board for you.

REAL Radiant Studios Wedding: Kristin & Dustin


Radiant Studios wore a lot of hats in preparation for their day of awesome, taking on responsibility for invitations & programs, floral arrangements, coordination, decoration and tear-down, some photography, creating a website for guests to visit, wreaths and some other handmade projects.

The pictures don't even convey how much stinking fun my friends are.

And congratulations to you guys for being featured on the Budget Savvy Bride's blog! That's fantastic. So happy for you.





Incredibly chill, rolled with the punches, and are crazy about Marvel comics, for crying out loud. I love these guys.

Because I am intent on finding a way to use red in a wedding that isn't cause for eye-rolling boredom and immediately lowered expectations.

Sneak Peak: Summer Bliss

I had my first faux-wedding shoot at sunrise this morning! Carl Zoch, www.carlzoch.com, and I have entered into a partnership of sorts for a series of these, and I'll tell ya folks -- I'm thrilled.

He sent me only one of the photos he captured this morning so far. This is Tamara, my sweet an always surprising friend, who is not at all a bride. :-)



As I receive more from him, I'll be sharing promptly. Further, I'll give a breakdown for the shoot's inspiration and what we did to be Eco-conscious and cheap in ways you'd never know. That's what I'm here for, as you know.

Note: This dress is for sale! Is not secondhand, so you will be original owner. Handmade by myself from a silk & taffeta blend. Available with or without the embellishments pictured, or I'd be willing to discuss making you your own. Email me at oliveyoudeerly {at} me {dot} com for pricing, size, or any other inquiries!
