Weekend Wedding

I went to a lovely wedding this past weekend in Taylor Texas near Austin. This was my second wedding weekend in two weeks!
They were both lovely and both totally different from one another.

This is the lovely Bekah walking down the outdoor aisle with her darling daddy. Her bouquet was a collage of vintage jewelry! No tossing those flowers...it could have knocked someone out cold!! But a fun idea of a different way to do the flowers.
The ceremony was held on the porch.

These two children handed out the programs from apple baskets. The steps were lined with white pumpkins.

The bride rode atop on old MG to meet her dad to walk down the aisle.

Natural looking baby's breath marked the aisles.

The Groom's mom hosted the very popular color inspired candy bar.

This is the gift we gave her.

Have a wonderful life together Kevin and Bekah!!!

Tile Mirror of Musicians

I recently finished a project for a powder room that was painted a lovely shade of grayish blue. I was asked to create a new mirror and light fixture .I took a painted sample of the color of the wall to the paint store and asked for two more shades in the same family to go with the original wall color.
 Here is what happened:

A peak from right outside the room

 

 The lamp has one of the flower tiles, a fun little finial and is painted in the same colors as the light fixture over the mirror.

 Every other tile has a different musician. You can see them here.

 The tiles in between are painted to look like wallpaper.

 This is a close up of the light fixture while it was still in my studio. The little flower tiles make of clay showed up all over this bathroom. The original fixture before I painted it was very modern and silver shiny and made to hang the opposite direction. I flipped it over took off the globes that it came with and added metal lamp shades.

Taking pictures of mirrors is still a mystery to me how not to include myself in the shot!!
