Warm weather, summer sun,  and fresh strawberries… is there anything better?  Today we’ve gathered some lovely images inspired by the splendid shades of a ripe strawberry.  This outdoor wedding day look is perfected with a stunning blush wedding gown, bridesmaids in deep strawberry hued dresses, and subtle berry touches throughout the decor.

Too-da-loo, Lori ‘Roo!

By No Comments

Yesterday Lori said her goodbyes on the blog and today, both sadly and excitedly, we say ours.  We are happy to see her begin a new adventure, but we sure will miss her here at TGK!  Though it’s your last day at the studio, Lori… you’ll always be a ‘roo!  And because we love you, we prefer to withhold our goodbyes and instead say “Too-da-loo, Lori ‘roo!”

All the very best wishes, Lori!

So Long, Farewell

By 2 Comments

I can’t believe it! But, it’s true. The time as come for me to say, ”so long, farewell – adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.” Yes, I had to quote the Sound of Music. I had to! As a child, I loved that movie. I probably haven’t watched it in over 10 years, but still today, whenever a goodbye is necessary, this is the soundtrack that I hear in my head.

It feels surreal to be saying “so long” to you (our dear brides, readers, friends and followers) after so many fantastic years with TGK. It’s been a lovely ride! After a bit of soul searching, I have decided to stay at home full time with my favorite boy (my 2-year-old, Noah) and his soon-to-be little sister. My growing family is ready for a new adventure! Still, leaving is bittersweet. I am excited and happy, but sentimental, sad … and even a little scared. What a change it will be!

I couldn’t just walk out the door on my last day, without a proper farewell! I may not be here (in the TGK studio) chatting with you on the phone or emailing you about your wedding invitations, but I will be out there somewhere — and, I’ll still be wishing you a wonderful “happily ever after!”

On that note, I leave you with …

Yes, yes – I couldn’t resist one last Sound of Music reference. Farewell, friends!

Wedding Colors: Beet & Aqua

By No Comments

A playful color combination of aqua and berry shades is both light-hearted enough for a casual daytime wedding, while also quite versatile for an evening affair.  To tone down these wedding colors for an elegant look, introduce a great neutral, like a smokey gray (see smoke ink below), and use the more vibrant hues as small pops throughout your decor.  This combo would be especially lovely on our Peacock wedding invitation, don’t you think?!
