As Mother’s Day weekend is upon us, we thought we’d give a shout out to all of our wonderful mothers (whether you are a mother by blood or adoption, spiritually or physically). For a quick read on Mother’s Day, you might enjoy this post I ran across that speaks to the encompassing nature of motherhood. And to celebrate, here is a little shoot that we’ll consider a virtual soiree in their honor! Very special thanks to Kelly Oshiro for her designs, and the ever lovely Jess Wilcox for her photography!

Perfectly fit for spring, today’s inspiration shoot is full of bright hues with subtle minty accents inspired by strawberries and succulents. The combo is unexpected and just the type of idea you could use to inspire an entire wedding, or even shower! Fresh strawberry desserts, mini succulents as favors, and peach hued flowers as centerpieces. Love the floral combination by The Bloomin Gypsy! Very special thanks to Nicole Cherie Photography for sending us her gorg images and the ever lovely Cargo Creative for her styling skills!

If you haven’t snapped up a copy of the recent issue of Smitten Magazine, you absolutely MUST! They have allowed us the chance to share with you this gorgeous cover feature shoot photographed by Landon Jacob Photography. This is just a taste of the type of features that are always choc full in Smitten, so it’s a definite must! We are absolutely obsessing over the styling by Parkside Wedding Studio with the crazy beautiful florals by Fern Studio.
