We just got a few of our wedding pictures back and they are so much fun! I’m putting together a larger post, but until then, here’s one of my favorites (we couldn’t stop laughing b/c this dog almost peed on my dress.. and this was before we even got married!), followed by a few detail shots.

As I mentioned earlier, I decided to create little portraits for my lovely wedding party as a way of thanking them for all of their amazing help. My sisters (who live in Chicago) finally received their gifts so I’m now free to reveal!
And no, I did not make them all wear the same dress, color, or style. They all got to choose their dress and in the end, they all looked adorable together!
I decided I’d better get posting on this blog before it expires out of boredom.. I have a few small projects in the works, as well as new work (about time, isn’t it?) to post coming soon, but until then I thought I’d post one of our wedding details.
I know every girl probably says this, but I seriously had the BEST wedding party! Made up of my two sisters, best friend from high school, and my best friend from college; they all were amazing, incredibly helpful, and so adorable the day of.
I wanted to give them something sweet & personal, so I decided to draw little portraits of them in the style of our wedding Save-the-Dates and frame them. I can’t put up all of them just yet, since two of them are still en route to Chicago, but here’s my oh-so-cute friend, Courtney.
Well, it’s official.. I’m finally hitched! After a wonderful couple of weeks down on St. Simons Island, GA, our small, sweet, and very DIY southern wedding was a complete success. I’m planning a post with some of the details in the near future, but have quite a few (well, more than a few) photos to sort through. Until then, I’m back in the studio and trying to get back in the swing of that thing called work. Much love.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I’m been sucked into a blackhole of work and wedding planning.. one more month and things will finally be back to normal! Anyway, I thought some of you may enjoy this via my other blog, Thersic:
Things have been pretty chaotic around here recently, made especially so with the endless DIY wedding projects we’ve been working on. I don’t know what crazy frame of mind we were in when we decided to take all of it on, but here we are finding, baking, printing, and constructing everything from our invites, to lighting, to our decorations (w/ the help of dear friends & family, of course!)
Since we’re paying for it ourselves, we are trying to stay on a very tight budget.. So when any possible creative freebies come along, we don’t hesitate. We decided to pass on a professional florist and keep things simple with a mix of Georgia wild flowers and a couple of our personal favorites. Instead of buying 100 + vases, we decided to take what Brooklyn itself was offering.. free glass bottles from the 1900-1950s! Want to find out how? Keep reading..
With the printing all complete, it was time to move on to the cutting, folding packing and sending..
The tears being tears of joy that we actually finished these babies! We’ve received a few emails from friends & family asking us how we created our wedding invites, so we decided to do a little (and by little, I mean long) post on it. Read on below:
I just finished up my Crazy 4 Cult 4 piece(s) for the show over at Gallery 1988! This year I decided to do a bunch of miniature paintings (each panel is 4in x 4in), depicting some of my favorite props, side characters, and other various semi-important elements from The Goonies.
Can you name all 18? (See key after the jump for the answers)
My brother and future sis-in-law are getting married this year on Halloween and are celebrating by having a costume party reception. I can’t wait! I’m doing a few drawings for their invites, which I won’t put up on here until they’re all sent out (don’t want to ruin the surprise!), but I will put up an initial sketch I did for the save-the-date.
