In Love at the Lodge: An Inviting Cover Shoot at Barn at Bay Horse Inn
Carri Fras | May 4, 2017In today’s world, wedding design is going far beyond a single color or texture. More and more brides are choosing their very own style–their own theme. After partnering with Jodie Stansbury of Aisle Ready Events, we began to swoon over the idea of our own look: a slightly rustic, raw and natural cover shoot with a lodge-like feel. “When researching photos of lodges and lodge décor, we noticed a lot of Navajo patterns being used in the textiles,” Jodie says. “This pattern helped bring in the Sedona twist.” The vision of warm, soft colors and natural elements such as wood, stone, patterned pillows and even antlers had us, well, quite hooked!

The New Bohemian: A Bright, Eclectic Cover Shoot at Blissful Barn
Carri Fras | April 27, 2017It’s no secret that the vintage charm of barn weddings continues to be popular, luring many brides through their rustic barn doors–especially here in the Midwest! While we knew we wanted to use this sought-after venue, we also desired to design a fresh, new take on the typical barn wedding by taking advantage of the current boho trend. After joining forces with Krissy Campbell of Simply Be So Events, a Northern Indiana based wedding and event planning business, it was clear that a bright, bohemian cover shoot, coupled with a woodland feel and a touch of vintage would give us the very (beautiful) edge we so envisioned!

The Wedding Story of Kaitlin Robinson and Jake Rohde
Carri Fras | March 29, 2017Kaitlin and Jake found each other by sheer luck. And by sheer luck we mean that a decision that probably seemed as insignificant as whether or not to attend a mutual friend’s Memorial Day festivities was, in fact, a decision that changed the course of their lives.
The Wedding Story of Kelli and Sam Myers
Carri Fras | March 22, 2017Often you meet so many people in college but likely won’t cross paths with most of them later in life, once you go your separate ways. Move to a population-heavy, bustling town like Chicago, and the odds should be even greater in finding someone but...the odds of running into and hitting it off with a college acquaintance at a spur of the moment concert and getting married to them four years later? Something tells us fate was involved!
