woodland whimsy wedding

Paula O'Hara, my current wedding photographer crush. Such talent.
Too much beauty in her photos. Just so magical. Breathtaking. Swooning.
I am in love with her. Especially, this set of Woodland Whimsy Wedding Photo Shoot.

Warning: Photo heavy post. It's impossible to not include everything from Magnolia Rouge

too much dainty and cuteness

Growing up being the only girl of the family [for my generation], I was considered one of the boys. My childhood friends were my little brother's playmates; we were all boys just running around, being gross, and getting dirty. All fun. And if we're being honest, I should tell... Until now, I can still be considered boyish. Albeit I use make-up on a daily basis, and I love sweet girly stuff, I still sit legs up on a chair and crossed, I still sleep legs and arms everywhere, and I still walk like someone who's trying to start a fight. I just can't be soft and all that 'look like a doll, behave like a princess' act.

That should explain why I'm so obsessed with dainty. I am trying so hard everyday, I even went far to curling my hair, and wearing flower crowns. I love to be girly. I love looking girlish. And I love feeling like a princess. While that is pretty harmless, I mighta kinda sorta dragging my little princess to this obsession. She now has a lot of dresses, and florals, and just anything dainty and chic. I imagine her as the unicorn princess in a rainbow fairytale land, and I imagine her to be that while growing up. I imagine her to be all ruffles and twirls, and head over heels in love with cutesy stuff. I spent too much of my everyday with these hallucinations imaginations, that when I chanced upon this Dainty photo shoot of the prettiest set of twins, I kind of screamed inside and just died. From too much joy and excitement, that is. I cannot explain the emotions, but I am extremely grateful for this photo shoot; I can see my girl in every picture, and it's just... I'm exhaling with all the happy and love that I can get from my heart. :)

P.S. They pose more 'appropriately' girly than I do. Just the right amount of swish and swoosh of a hand, legs, or hips.

two more easy DIY

*1 Eucalyptus Chandelier
*2 Frame + Scrabble Tile Holder and Scrabble Tiles

Two more DIYs to do. Just because... DIY.

The second photo isn't from a DIY tutorial post. But I saw that white frame with a blue feather, and a scrabble tile holder, and scrabble tile with letters B,E,N,I,C, and E, i.e. to read "Be Nice", and I told myself, "Hey I can do that." So...

Edit: Look at that cardholder made of wire, and brush holder made of... They look like pots painted in white? Nice.

two shops, one post

*1 Rust Jewellery is owned by my 'junk-ing/thrifting' idol, Artemis and her husband, Nao. I never fancied jewelries until these rings. Here are a few of my favorites. If only we had known them when we were looking for wedding rings. I exhaled a lot of ooh's and aah's while browsing through their gallery. So much love in tiny pieces of metal.

*2 It's no secret: I love cameras. So there's really nothing more to explain why I love this set from Dot & Bo. Their "Through the Lens" collection is just... heaven. Awarding 'the best item' to that awesome Vintage Linhof Standard Press Camera.

for a friend's wedding next year

A friend of mine is getting hitched next year. And I'm excited I'm part of the hard-core prepping [if you know what I mean]. So, one thing that we had already talked about was the design for their invitations. The pictures above will serve as inspiration. And yes, it is a restaurant menu on a cutting board. These are Vittobeneto's btw, an Italian restaurant based in Indonesia, which I read from Behance.

Can you guess the theme of the wedding? :)

mood board: close to nature

One day I'm going to make my own mood board. As I'm struggling to make one now. [It looks easy peasy but no!] I am someone who lacks coherence. So for now...

Here are two mood boards, i.e. my peg for our house.
