Featured! Intimate Weddings- DIY Vintage Burlap Programs

They say the magic is in the details…and when it comes to making your dream wedding a reality, this is absolutely the truth! Of course for my big day,  I focused on the paper goods to reinforce our vintage-garden theme. One of my most beloved creations- the stitched burlap ceremony programs and it is an honor to have the DIY tutorial featured on Intimate Weddings today!

Be sure to visit Intimate Weddings blog for information on materials and DIY instructions! And HUGE thank you to the oh-so-incredible  Jenny Martell Photography for the dreamy images!



Rustic Chic: Inspiration Board

I love pairing simple, organic elements with ultra feminine materials such as frilly chiffon, lace, or pearls. Rustic chic just seems to be the best of both style worlds and can easily be achieved by taking advantage of natures finest elements and incorporating lots of texture…with a dash of girly glamour.

So from me to you….a rustic collage of prettiness, which happens to include of number of Memento Designs photos! Enjoy!

My Wedding

My husband and I were married on a beautiful day in September at the Aldredge House in the Historic Swiss Avenue District. Every detail of the wedding was inspired by a passion for vintage design and shabby elegance. In order to stay within our budget and to personalize things as much as possible, we incorporated DIY projects throughout and limited the guest list to include only our family and closest friends.

Fall Cover Bride & Groom Magazine

Once again, Jenny Martell Photography!  So exciting to be part of the magazine and for Jenny’s work to be recognized on the cover!

Don’t worry…..if you did not get a copy, my mom has about 17 of them. I am sure she would be willing to part with one of them.



Parkhouse Antiques Bridal Session

I had the most incredible time at my bridal session, taken at Parkhouse Antiques in Dallas’s design district. Their pieces are literally jaw-dropping, especially the original 1800′s carousel horse from France. The perfect backdrop for a romantic, vintage inspired wedding. Jenny Martell truly captured a nostalgic drama in these photos.



Engagement Session

Inspirations for our engagment shoot with Jenny Martell: Southern romance, The Notebook, nature, vintage charm, and my personal favorite, the Fedora.
