Turquoise Wedding Inspiration

Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:05:02 -0400

Add a touch of seaside charm to your wedding with tones of tiffany blue, seafoam, and summery aqua. Perfect for a beach or garden wedding. Shades of turquoise look extra beautiful when mixed with rosy pink or lavender and vintage brass details. Or go for an ombre effect, as seen in the handmade fabric chandelier by Adaura, below.

Perhaps inspired by Taylor, St Petersburger and Chips, or some other photographer of abandonment on tumblr, it’s been on my list to explore the disused barracks that overlook the town of Whittier, Alaska. Its five sprawling floors of decay did not disappoint.

Merry Brides: Winter Colors:

merrybrides:

Q. I love pastels but want to have a winter wedding. Is there a way to make my palette look less springy?

A. Absolutely! Any pastel can look wintery. The key is to steer clear of the classic Easter-candy combinations. Instead, consider an equally soft, yet surprising duo, like…

Merry Brides: Vintage Bottles:

merrybrides:

You know I’m a huge fan of mason jars, but there is something really cool about vintage bottles. You can group them together, or just use a couple for a minimalist look. They can make a wedding vintage or modern depending on the way you use them and the type you use. And they can be decor on their…

Happy Birthday, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!

Doyle, a Scottish physician and writer, is best remembered as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, one of crime fiction’s most beloved characters.

Holmes—and his intrepid sidekick Watson—first appeared in A Study in Scarlet, published in the 1886 Beeton’s Christmas Annual. Holmes was partially modeled after Joseph Bell, Doyle’s former university professor. Doyle wrote to Bell, “It is most certainly to you that I owe Sherlock Holmes… [R]ound the centre of deduction and inference and observation which I have heard you inculcate I have tried to build up a man.”

In December of 1893, Doyle resolved to concentrate on what he considered his more important work—his historical novels. He had Holmes and Professor Moriarty plunge to their (ostensible) deaths in “The Final Problem.” Public outcry demanded that he revive his much loved sleuth. He did so in 1901’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, first published in Strand Magazine. He set the novel before the “The Final Problem.” Holmes was officially revived in 1903’s “The Adventure of the Empty House, ” in which he explains Moriarty’s death and his own miraculous survival.

Pictured: 1) a 1901 publicity poster announcing the publication of Hound of the Baskervilles. It was illustrated by Albert Morrow. 2) Front cover of the original publisher’s binding, designed by Alfred Garth Jones. It sports a silhouette of a hound, printed in black amidst red cloth and gold accents.

amandajas:

It’s a real honor to announce that i’ll be posting over on Girl Trip’s instagram account starting this coming week.

This is all especially important to me because Girl Trip is aimed at fostering and encouraging creativity within teenage girls (13-16yr olds). This is important because I didn’t really have anything like this at that age, so it’s very exciting to be able to be there for these girls and be a part of the force encouraging these girls to engage creatively.

You can you can you can you can!
