Macro Monday - The Embrace

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

pink loves orange



























Normally, I'm not one to pair two intense colors, like this. I'm usually into more subtle colors. But, a few weeks ago, I found an old photo of myself, as a teenager, wearing this fun A-line dress, which I had designed and made. I was into 1960s fashion, at the time, and I felt that pink and orange was the most fabulous color combination ever. Pink and orange together certainly looks zingy and cute, and it seems quite perfect for autumn.

: bliss : wedding backdrops

Chanel Haute Couture via ledefile.files.wordpress.com

I've been noticing a wedding trend, lately, of creating beautiful backdrops, for both ceremony and reception. This is not the tulle swathed look of days gone by. Rather, there are fabulous paper flowers, pinwheels, and cranes. And even a projection of a tree arbor, which has a sort of theatrical quality. What a lovely way to transform a space!

Lessons from the Journey

The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.

: bliss : black & white wedding
























As always, black and white looks striking and chic, to me. And that goes for wedding themes. I think that the b&w theme is timeless, just as a wedding should be. Not to mention, it photographs well. Bridesmaids certainly appreciate having a fabulous LBD to wear post-wedding day. For added color, I think Tiffany blue, pale pink, lavender, or yellow would look beautiful paired with black and white.
