INSPIRATION : FLORAL CLASS





Yesterday was such a treat! I got to go to a floral arranging class offered by Shawn at The Floral Studio! It was Mia's birthday so as her gift, I took her along. We spent the afternoon visiting with the other class members and each other, snacking on grapes and cookies, and making these seriously beautiful centerpieces. Shawn and Debbie were so patient with us as almost everyone in class was a complete novice. We learned techniques for cleaning and prepping the flowers all the way to the finishing touches to make our arrangements perfect. It was a really great way to spend a winter day and it got me really feeling inspired about spring and all the upcoming weddings we're working on here at Chellé Paperie. The Floral Studio is going to start offering the classes for sign up once their new site goes live, but Mia and I were discussing how fun it would be to email Shawn and just get together a bunch of your girlfriends or bridesmaids and have a private class. If you love flowers, I can't recommend her classes enough!

INSPIRATION : SPRING FLORALS















I found this photograph of a beautiful floral sash by Sash & Bustle while reading Ritzy Bee's blog this weekend, and seeing as Mondays on the blog are supposed to be about inspiration, it seemed like just the thing to get me thinking and sketching for a new set to add to our upcoming spring collection! I love the softness of the palette and the delicate petals. If I could get married again, this pretty floral belt would certainly make an appearance! I can't get over it. I'd actually love it with a t-shirt and a pair of jeans too! It's listed as one of a kind, but I am triyng to get you all details on how to get one of your own! Thanks, Maria for the great find!

VINTAGE FINDS





For me, there is almost nothing better than vintage grosgrain ribbon in classic neutral stripes. Put them on a cake stand and I'm in heaven!

INSPIRATION




Well, we're moving, it's official. To a little loft, in a small stone building. Sounds magical, I know. So now we are dreaming up what to do in the space, what the consultation space will look like, and how our office will be arranged. This picture is a thought for our consult space, and soon, I'll post office love... picture by Photographer Malin Ngoie, found on absolutely beautiful things
