Modern day Polaroid... Instaprint

If you are as addicted to Instagram as I am... YOU WILL LOVE THIS. Kickstarter just put up a new product called the Instaprint, you can go check it out on their page for all the info. But in a nutshell, it is a modern day polaroid in which you snap a photo with your Instagram app, set a # for your Instaprint machine and anytime anyone on Instagram uses that hashtag... IT PRINTS TO YOUR MACHINE. What the what?! so flipping cool.

On their site right now, you can tag an existing Instagram photo with #instaprint and you can watch your photo print live. That's my photo!
Of course I thought this would be the perfect thing for Ben and I's wedding, so I went ahead and backed the project. You should too. Let's make it happen.

Mod Monday-Wed edition

It's been a while since I have done a Mod Monday... but I find it only appropriate that I do one with wedding inspiration since that has started to consume my web musings as of late. I am totally digging the short dresses of the 60's. Especially these two worn by Audrey and Barbara... found on Veiled Haven. The unexpected hat and hood are pretty neat too.

I am officially OBSESSED... with Pinterest

Yes, I know, I am late to the game... but it has been really fun pulling together a wedding inspiration board!

Who needs a Wedding Planner when you have Audrey?!

My 8 year old cousin Audrey (Joslyn's oldest girlie) made me a check list for the wedding planning. Pretty thorough I thought. **#8 was courtesy of Ben**
So.... brides and brides to be out there, what advice do you have for me?

Wine, BBQ and I'm ENGAGED!!!!

Our most lovely and gracious friends Mark and Sandra invited us along on their Labor Day weekend trip to Wimberley. After a minor pet mess situation in the car and Blair witch situation after midnight looking for the rental house wen had a most Fabulous and memorable weekend. We set out for breakfast to Kate's Place where we then stumbled upon Market Days... Everyone was so confused when we told them we weren't in town for that. But whatever, onto the wine tasting!!


Over the course of two days we ate at 2 BBQ restaurants, went to 7 wineries and bought lots of local food to bring home.


But lets get to the exciting part... BEN asked me to marry him!!! I said yes. :) we were at the 2nd winery on Saturday, Driftwood checking out the amazing view and jammin on some lovely viognese and mozzarella. As I commented how awesome the day was and beautiful the weather was I looked over to B pulling a ring out of his pocket, getting down on his knee and asking me to be his wife. After much shock and literally asking "is this a joke?!" 8,000 times, I said "of course" and started crying. Mark got it all on film. :)



Here are the wineries we went to in order:
Wimberley Valley Wine
Driftwood where we got engaged!!
Duchman Family Winery
Sunday:
Bella Vista Ranch
Bell Springs our fave... And not on the map
Solara Estates
Dinner and tasting at Salt Lick

It was a great trip, thank you Mark & Sandra!! You guys are amazing and we are lucky to call you friends. And lovely serendipitous moment when our good friends Nico and Sarah #4square stalked us to join the party.... I love you guys for that.

Let the planning begin!!!!

Photo Booth

Calame Wedding Photo Booth from Jenna on Vimeo.

I am Loving this photobooth idea via Style Me Pretty. It would be really fun to set up in a back yard for cookouts, parties, etc. Now I have to find some really groovy frames.  The rest of the photos from this Texas chic wedding are pretty cute too.

and speaking of Drew...

I.L.O.V.E.T.H.I.S. Dress

...and perfect for an nontraditional wedding I think.

Candy!

In true fat girl fashion, one of my favorite parts of setting up a showroom is picking out the candy to match our color du jour! We have picked out cheese puffs, Trix cereal and licorice. But as of late I have been ordering our candy from CandyDirect.com because you can shop for candy by color! It is pretty genius. However, I did have to get a supplemental custom order from M&M's website to get a grey and citron combination as picture in the bottom right hand corner.
This would be a great source for weddings, parties and other fun get togethers.
... now if i could stop eating the props!
