BOOKS.

My job has consisted mainly of uber-boring spreadsheets this week, so this wall of books was a sight for my sore eyes today. amazing.

gentl & hyers

have i ever posted about these photographers? it would kind of be a shame for my first post after a long lazy/non-blogging period (sorry about that...) to be a repeat. but i'm willing to take that chance on gentl and hyers.

their photography is just the most beautiful eye candy ever, and they pretty much capture what i wish my life could look like at all times.....

Tenth Ave North Promo Design

here is some promo stuff i did for Tenth Ave North, a band coming this August to perform at Briarwood

sara & ben

so this weekend was a pretty big one for me. in kind of a last-minute decision, i agreed to do the flowers for my friends ben and sara's wedding which was yesterday (sidenote - their announcement made the cut for the nytimes wedding section!!!).

it was kind of a leap of faith since i'd never done flowers for anyone other than myself/family before - and never on this scale... but i think everything turned out well! thankfully the venues were amazing already and didn't need any huge dramatic arrangements because i know i couldn't have pulled it off if they did...

anyway, i had such a fun time doing it and was pretty excited about how it all turned out.... so now i am trying to hatch a plan for how to quit my day-job and do flowers forever... here are some pics!

....and most importantly - congrats ben & sara!!!
