The Tattered Veil » From The Hip http://www.thetatteredveil.com/blog ♥ just another wedding photographer ♥ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 01:17:08 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 we HEART http://www.thetatteredveil.com/blog/we-heart/ http://www.thetatteredveil.com/blog/we-heart/#comments Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:26:11 +0000 Stefanie http://www.thetatteredveil.com/blog/?p=499 We have been very neglectful to our blog in the last few months. It’s time to get back at it and let you guys know what we have been up to. Tonee recently moved to Arkansas – but don’t worry, we are still shooting together! I had my baby break late 2010 – 2011, but the little man is almost a year old and I am getting back to shoot our favorite subjects – lovers, engagements and the Shindig! I miss shooting weddings, but the nursing baby had to come first. Tonee has been quite busy in Arkansas, literally taking over there and photographing a lot of beautiful weddings. For 2012 it’s ON baby – we are back together and can’t wait to get started. We won’t always shoot together, but that just means that the tattered veil is growing and we are spreading out and taking over the country (next – world?!) HAHA a girl can dream. It’s not always easy, especially since we are both moms to 6 awesome kids (3 each) and we each have our other photography business going… so that keeps us quite busy, never boring.

The Holidays are just around the corner, and many you guys are planning to go down on one knee and pop the big question. Or maybe you already did this summer and most definitely she said YES! We have been interviewed by a lot of excited brides and I thought I’d put together a little list of the latest Etsy awesomeness to make planning a little bit easier for you. Or maybe it will give you an amazing idea that you could include in your own wedding. So here we go! We HEART:

1. How amazing are these personalized hangers! I found them on Etsy the other day, while browsing for a bridal hanger that was not made of wire. I am thinking about ordering one that says “Bride” or “I do”. It would make a pretty cool prop while taking dress pictures

2. We both have daughters, therefore we love flower girls and (being girls) we share the excitement of dressing up and feeling like a princess. Why not go all out for your flower girl, this is a pretty big day for her after all (I always have to think of  Princess Kate’s flower girls and how they must have been on cloud NINE ). I love big tutu dresses and fairy wings on flower girls!

3. I keep seeing these paper umbrellas and I am very much in love with them. I’ve seen people use them for outdoor weddings, having one laying on each chair for during the ceremony. And I have seen them hang upside down over the reception tables (with lights shining through – magical!)

4. Uhm, can I have one of these button bouquets please? I wish I would have thought of that when I got married. I tried to preserve my bouquet, but honestly, it looks pretty sad these days. I don’t have my grandma’s skills when it comes to preserving flowers, so this awesome button bouquet has stolen my heart (plus, it’s cheaper than real flowers)!

5. How about these cake pops instead of cupcakes? It would make a cute favor too. And it would be pretty nice if I could eat some right now.

6. I love cake and I love (creative) cake toppers. This example is super cute and deserves a home on the fire place mantle, next to your button bouquet

7. Speaking of cake… why don’t you have that first bite from these beautiful vintage forks! So cute.

8. Uhh, this is pretty awesome! Something blue, hiding under your shoe :p

9. We know you boys are going to have a drink while you wait for the girls to get ready. So why not with a personalized flask? That would make a cool grooms man gift!

10. And last but not least I have to add a dress to the mix. If you are a vintage loving girl like me, then you will love Etsy! You might find your dream dress for under $200!
