My Etsy Shop: Morgan Lane Boutique {50% OFF OF
EVERYTHING!}

post from From Marriage to Motherhood on 09 August 2011 11:09:51 PM. © From Marriage to Motherhood

I have absolutely loved making every handmade bow that has gone into my Etsy shop, Morgan Lane Boutique. What initially started out as a creative outlet of just making bows to match Ilah's outfits has turned into something that has not only been profitable, but has also been so enjoyable for me. I love mixing and matching various fabrics and coming up with unique, and affordable, one of a kind designs.
This month marks 9 months that my etsy shop has been opened. The feedback left within my shop from new and returning customers who have purchased my handcrafted layered hair accessories has propelled me to keep with it. As the months have gone on, I have refined my bow making skills and have created some darling frilly pieces to match many of Ilah's outfits...

I have had many requests for custom orders, the most recent being just a few days ago, when I was contacted to create two bows for a set of twins who will be born into a love of the Georgia Bulldogs! I always love creating custom pieces! I sent the customer this picture of some fabric options that I thought paired nicely with the GA Bulldog fabric....
After she made her fabric selections, that same day I completed her order....
These are the smaller bows that I sell in my shop, that are approximately 2.25" - perfect for newborns. These twins will be born in October; the bows will be the perfect size on their cute little heads!
I'm excited to begin making many new hair bows and adding them to my shop! But first...I want to clear out much of my current inventory. While I have done coupon promotions in the past, I've never done one this big....
NOW UNTIL SUNDAY, EVERYTHING IN MY SHOP IS 50% OFF!!
Even the interchangeable headbands....
All you need to do is enter coupon code "50OFF" at check out.

As my shop states: "All of my unique creations are handmade, hand cut, personally designed, and lovingly made?waiting to be adorned on pretty little heads, of all ages, everywhere".
Thank you to all of you who have supported my business!!

From the infinite past to Malcesine!

post from Italian Lakes Wedding Planner on 09 August 2011 05:10:05 PM. © Italian Lakes Wedding Planner

Have you ever had the feeling of knowing someone from the infinite past?
Definitely these are feelings arising when lovers look into each others eyes, lost in rapture, hypnotized by its vastness.
Steve and Sarah flew all the way from UK to find a location that could match their antique and noble acquaintance!

What could be a better place than Italy? A country full of story, sharing with its lovers hidden niches of infinite beauty.
During their visit around the Lake Garda, after visiting many characteristic villages and famous locations,Steve and Sarah came across a tiny well kept village in the North of the Lake called Malcesine. In this location filled with colorful little artisan shops, family run restaurants and the superb surrounding nature, they finally found what they were looking for!
The venue to tie the knot was Scaligero Castle, stately rising from the village promontory! The Castle has a very long and rich history. It had many owners who kept it polished and magnificent through the centuries. It was built in the first millennium by the Lombards and then destroyed and rebuilt by the Franks. From there on, it has been a jewel in the hands either of Republic of Venice, of Austrian-Hungarian Empire, of France and of many Italian lineages. Then it was declared National Monument in 1206.
In this rare pearl set in a fairy tale landscape, Steve and Sarah decided to celebrate their most important event as a couple: their wedding!

When the day finally arrived, everything was ready for their wonderful ceremony, young page boys and flower girls, cheerful guests were waiting for this very important day. Cascades of flowers were awaiting the couple for their vows exchange!

Our skillful photographers from Photo 27 Studio were able to capture unique shots, so delicate and important but so qucik to vanish in a heartbeat. We love especially the following photo, Sarah’s farewell to her previous life and Steve’s waiting, longing to start his new life with Sarah? and finally they exchanged vows and rings!

Classical music, played by artists our great Joy Ensemble Duo (Violin and Cello) in the background, added a touch of uniqueness and elegance to their YES!

For this special occasion musicians played some classical tunes by their repertoire.
Some other were expressively requested by bride and groom as Viavaldi Four Seasons and Fields of Gold by Sting.
For your wedding in Malcesine Italian Lakes Wedding can provide a wide choice of classical musicians. We can start from violin solo, harp solo up to string quartets with even a soprano singer!

Now Sarah and Steve are ready for their joined bright future!
Shooting session started to follow, while their guests could explore the beautiful castle.

But the most lasting joy comes from the possibility to share your happy moments with your beloved friends and family, and Sarah and Steve had a huge group waiting for them!

Our skilled photographers of Photo 27 Studio continued to followed them around Malcesine village to capture their most important moments in just a candid and reportage way!
Their professional eyes are trained to capture the most important although sometimes invisible moments, while letting them be natural.

Sometimes the work of post production is under estimated, but we find it essential to give back pathos experienced in most important moments. Camera captures colors and shades, our professionals add to them human dimension, drama and magic of life!
After the ceremony Sarah and Steve had a chilled and relaxing walk around Malcesine tiny streets and its small traditional and colorful pier.

As a great surprise to their guests, an incredible journey on a historical sailing ship from 19th century was awaiting for them!
A new breathtaking view of the castle could be appreciated from here!

We leave them like this, enjoying their new life together and foreseeing a bright future ahead! We wish them the best life can offer!

Angela and Katiuscia both work on Veneto region and Lake Garda. They will take you to discover traditions, savors and colors of Veneto region, not only on Lake Garda!
They can help and support you for a dream wedding on other wonderful locations such as Venice, Verona and Veneto gorgeous countryside where you could taste some of best wines of Italy.

Fall/Winter Wedding Makeup and Hairstyles

I recently worked on an advertising campaign where I was asked to combine upcoming fall/winter makeup and hair fashion trends with fall and winter fashion clothing.

This got me to thinking that I should post a blog about makeup colour choices and hairstyles for the 2011 Fall/Winter bridal season. I've been so immersed in a super busy spring/summer wedding season that time has been passing by so quickly! Before we know it, it will be Autumn!

Working on this campaign got my mind racing with seasonal idea's, colours and trends! So, I did some digging to find some more inspiration for my beautiful Fall/Winter brides! Below is a collection of fall/winter wedding gown styles, makeup colours/trends and some beautiful bridal hairstyles for 2011. Take a look below and see if any of these images inspire you too!

Love the updo and the soft smokey eyes in this image - perfect combination for any bride
I really like the sleek sophisticated updo on this bride - very chic! Would look great with or without a veilCheck out the colours in this picture! GORGEOUS! For those brides looking to add some colour for your 2011 fall/winter wedding....this is what works! Soft and pretty with a punch of colour.Not every bride will want this type of updo as it's very modern - it's perfect for those brides who love fashion and who always like to pull out all the stops!Soft, sexy with a hint of colour. I also really love the flow of this hairstyleGreys and peaches - so pretty and fresh looking! She has some great brows too! : )This is gorgeous! I love the pop of colour on the lip! A simple bun/knot on the top of the head takes this look to the next level ..... really like the whole look hereYou can add colour subtly like it's been done here. The lip has that just bitten look to it and the eyes are subtly coloured. The hairstyle is sleek and sexy. Beautiful!
A little colour just makes me happy. : ) Hope you're now inspired too. See you soon!!www.vlmakeup.comvm@vickimillar.com416 953 5737
