Why We Love Them: Confetti & Co.

As curators of unique wedding related content, both Madison and I search on a daily basis for local vendors for something that would be admired by our readers. But lets peddle back a bit first...

We are hosting an amazingly fun DIY night on June 21st, 2013, at FATpaint in New Westminster. We have a love affair with this super cute shop, and thought it would be a blast to work with Victoria and Brad, (sibling owners - too cute!) and host an evening of fun and DIY with their fab product! Fast forward to today, and we have a huge list of vendors who are coming together to create an amazing evening, including Confetti & Co.

We LOVE Amy's amazing balloons of various colours, and think that they will be a perfect fit for our DIY night's fun cocktail evening environment! With lots of bright colours to paint with, we wanted to mirror it in the decor, and what better way than with giant balloons!

Amy makes these gorgeous pieces of playful helium art for anyone to purchase, with the intent of bring a smile to someone's face. Here is a few shots from her recent campaign with Christie Graham Photography!

WonderWeb: Free People - Boho & Indie Clothing

Once in a while when I am surfing the web, and in particular the wedding web (checking out things like BHLDN, or SMP, or Ruffled - my fav), you happen to find something by fluke chance. Today I was on 100 Layer Cake, a fantastic modern/vintage inspired blog, and they had the coolest wedding gown in one of the submitted weddings. I just had to find out where it was from!

Here is the link to that wedding and that particular gown: http://www.100layercake.com/blog/2013/06/04/bohemian-art-deco-wedding-inspiration/

In the photo notes it mentions Mara Hoffman as the designer, from the online retailer Free People, it included the links. I clicked, and then my eyes were opened. This gorgeous online store automatically made me think of anthropologie, one of my other favs, except for the thoroughly Boho girl. With designs for summer currently on their front page, and with this recent bout of good weather, i just had to share a few snaps of my favourites!

Head on over and take a quick look for yourself!
