Thiebaud Inspired

Happy to share this lovely little video from Sweet Honey Films, a peek into the world of the artist Wayne Thiebaud as translated into wedding theme. Inspired by the iconic pop still lifes of Thiebaud, (especially his cakes!) we collaborated on the design of this shoot with Bows and Arrows and After Yes Weddings, pulling from his use of color and light, symmetrical composition, and a feeling of playful whimsy. Beautiful images to come soon from Apryl Ann Photography, but for now, we hope you enjoy this sweet video as much as we do!

DIY: Summer POPS!

 

The crazy summer heat by no means belongs to the stable of southern charms we Texans are proud of, but it is a great excuse to make refreshing treats for friends and family. And nothing fits the bill more so than an icy-cold popsicle, the ultimate throwback summer treat. Read on for my DIY tutorial on how to make a bit of a grown up pop (one flavored with green tea and fresh herbs,) that is every bit as refreshing as anything you ever pulled out of your grandma's freezer.

MACARO(O)N

I'm not sure if you are aware that we are in the midst of an epic macaroon vs macaron fiasco? It's been going on for quite some time now, and the image below (from urban petite) illustrates the complexities of the issue perfectly. 

 

Which one are you: Soft and sweet with your head in the clouds? 

Or delicately composed and layered with a French accent?

 

YEAH!

 

Oui.

POP! DIY Behind the Scenes

Bows + Arrows asked me to do a Popsicle DIY for their Hello, Love blog. Of course I said Yeah! What could be more fun in the summer than making pops with sweet ladies? The lovely Apryl of Apryl Ann Photography documented the process. Here's some fun shots of the icy madness behind the scenes. Stay tuned for the tutorial post!

The plotting + planning!

 All lined up and ready to Pop!
