Baci Designs | Stationery + Styling for the Spring/Summer 2013 Something White Look Book, Elegant Art Deco {Cleveland, Ohio}

Just as I was about to return from Maternity Leave, one of my favorite people - Karin of Something White Bridal Boutique - asked me to be a part of a lovely photo shoot for their very first ever Look Book!  While I was bit nervous planning something just as I was trying to ease back into my daily work routine (with the addition of one hungry little boy!), I couldn't pass up such an amazing opportunity.  I'm so happy that I took on the challenge - what I, alongside some of the best vendors in the area, was able to create was truly breathtaking.  Greyson was even able to get his first day of work in, too, as he tagged along and charmed all the ladies :)  See the whole Look Book (with another look styled by Baci!) here!

Karin had the vision for the Elegant Art Deco theme and I was able to run with the silver and slate blue theme based on the Pinterest Board she created (Honestly, Pinterest has been life changing to my career!  Sometimes I wonder how I functioned before without it, lol!).  On the stationery side, I designed and printed the round menus, as well as the gorgeous multi-layered table number.  For the styling, I borrowed amazing linens, chargers and napkin rings from our friends at Sitting Pretty Linens and finished off the design with the remarkable Ice Chiavari Chairs, glassware and flatware from Event Source.  Vintage rentals were provided by Borrow Vintage + Eclectic Rentals and the beautiful floral work was done by The Budding Tree of Hudson.  The incredible cake was done by Hummingbird Bake Shop and the incredible images were captured by Arielle Doneson Photography.

Wedding Wednesday | Styled Beach Shoot Stationery {Knoxville, Tennessee}

How amazing things slip through without being featured on the blog, I'll never know - I do know that going forward it won't continue to happen because I have a blog schedule that goes out over a month in advance!  Nothing's getting past this lady any more :o)

I previously mentioned that the stationery we designed for a beautiful Styled Beach Shoot by Shannon Kelley Photography and In Flight was featured on Love Like Oceans, but I never shared my favorite images from the shoot.  Enjoy and come back tomorrow to see another shoot we were part of recently!!

baci's Table Design at the JStyle Weddings Bridal Event {Cleveland, Ohio}

Ilario, Caroline, Brittany and I had the pleasure of showcasing baci's work at the JStyle Weddings Bridal Event on Sunday, February 26th at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Cleveland. . . and it was AWESOME!  Not only was the event wonderfully coordinated by the folks at LinQ 2 Communications, the brides in attendance were full of amazing ideas and they even managed to bring along a few great hubbys-to-be, moms and even dads :o)

I must say that it was incredible to be able to create a table display perfectly in line with baci's sense of style (which happens to be my sense of style - lol!) - since all work we create is custom we strive to show our clients personalities and preferences in their designs (which we LOVE doing!!).  It was really cool to take the reigns and make it all about baci this time around.

The vintage shabby chic theme was perfectly accented with some fabulous products from Maria at HodgePodge Vintage Rentals - the pillars (which were the perfect place to hang our handmade bunting!), a few accents to our place setting (tea cup and saucer, anchor plate and wallpaper place mat), the gorgeous lace overlay and the distressed window (full of Jami and Eric's stationery!!) all added just the right touch!

We used the vintage type writer (my Grandma's find!) as a place to display one of our favorite handmade seeded paper suites and the library-type filer held a gorgeous letterpress suite - all of which you'll see more photos of soon!  Intern Brittany worked hard making the perfect addition of a terrarium, bunting and distressing our baci signage - I love how they all turned out :o)  The beautiful brown floral place setting (with a doily-punched menu and napkin-ring place card created just for the event!) was accented with another awesome seeded paper suite complete with unique table names, guest favors and hands-down the coolest escort cards ever - they're wax-sealed and open up to reveal the table name!!  To finish off the table design we added burlap, old books (from Jami and Eric's wedding - yay!), letterpress blocks and an gorgeous floral display in a vintage crate, created by yours truly (I put my Floral Design Class skills to work - lol!).

Check out some of the details photographer by the awesome Caroline - don't you just LOVE it?!?!?  We're super excited to showcase our skills at the Every Blooming Thing Wedding Planning Event this Saturday - it's a whole new display that you must see :o)
