Engaging photos

628 Creative is on the look out for engaged couples to photograph and feature on our website and blog. We have something up our sleeve and would love for you to be a part of it! But for inspiration's sake, take a look at this beautiful couple  - Sarah and Cody from San Antonio, TX photographed by Ryan Price http://www.ryanpricephoto.com/ first posted on weddingwire.com. Very inspiring!! Oh, and did I forget to mention that you can now visit us on weddingwire.com?

Be Inspired...

Today I want to inspire you with a few images! The first two were found on Style Me Pretty and are by Allison Reisz Photography @ www.allisonreiszphotography.com. I love the soft off-white on off-white theme mixed with the rustic tree branches and stones!

The remaining images below were found courtesy of oncewed.com and are by cross pollination http://crosspollinationfloral.blogspot.com/. Don't you just love the sidewalk chalkboard with floral bouquet?

Signature Drinks

Adding a signature drink can be a really fun way to personalize your wedding or event. Thank you to the queen of planning Martha Stewart marthastewartweddings.com for this little number:

Pomegranate Champagne. Choose this for a new spin on the classic first toast, or offer it as your signature drink during the reception - how fun!

Ingredients (Serves 6)
1-1/4 cups chilled fresh pomegranate juice (from 3 pomegranates)
1-1/2 ounces chilled Cointreau liqueur
1 chilled bottle (375 milliliters) Champagne
for garnish Pomegranate seeds

Directions
In a pitcher, mix juice, liqueur, and Champagne. Pour into flutes, and garnish with pomegranate seeds.

Enjoy!

Pretty in Pink

Here is a little peek at a wonderful monogram and invitation we created in hot pink and black. This is sure to make a statement when it arrives to your guests in the mail, and the monogram can be used on virtually anything from favor boxes to the dance floor!

Simple Delights...or maybe they are addictions?

Do you remember what it was like when you were little and it was almost your birthday or the first day of school? Remember that giddy feeling that you would get just thinking of what the new year would bring? I have to say that is how I feel right now! I am in love with love!

I have to say I think I have a tiny addiction to all things wedding related. I love misty forest photos with flower boughs hanging from the trees. Or lanterns with candles lining the walkway of an old dock by the bay. Or a beautiful table setting filled with hanging crystals from tall vases overflowing with deep fall colored flowers....oh are you with me?

I have been collecting tiny snippets of inspiration at every turn. It is not only beautiful to look at in the corner of my studio, but thrilling to think that it is on hand for whatever I can think up to do with it all!

Follow Your Dreams

I was reading another great blog today and was struck by one of the messages. It said that "dreams, unspoken or not, are living, breathing, sometimes screaming (or quiet) whispers of our hearts. We've become good at discrediting them: unpractical. Too expensive, too complicated. But what I've learned is that our whole life's potential lies in the spaces between these whispers. If we pay attention to them, perhaps even take that first step and acknowledge them, then we breathe a bit easier knowing we've spoken a truth. Out loud."  - Kelly Rae Roberts @ kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com

I want you all to know that I have finally listened to my own dreams. That is why I started 628 Creative. It has long been my desire to get away from the corporate world of design and do something that I love and feel passionate about. I can't tell you how excited I am about this new phase in my life. I look forward to meeting you!

I am also really excited about our new website that is online now and also on TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com. Please check it out - 628creative.com.

I hope you all enjoy the photos!
