When working on custom-made projects, I frequently get lost in design world, unable to stop sketching which sometimes even carries over to my dreams. This “problem” of mine most recently came at the hands of Pamela, who provided me with an entire world of inspiration -her very own wedding blog! Among many other things, her postings include: save-the-date cards, her wedding cake and the shoes she'll be wearing. What a clever, great thing wedding blogging is. I wish I had done something like this for my own wedding. It's a great way to keep things organized, especially for the husband and the wedding party, and it's so much fun at the same time!

Pamela and Conrad's wedding is a mix of vintage and elegance. They are to be wed in Chesapeake, VA, and their theme revolves around birds. The key elements behind the design include: an ivory bird cage to be used at the reception, roses in the neutral colors of cream, vanilla, ivory, white and taupe to go with the vintage look; little white bird cage boxes with goodies inside as party favors; and feathers and pearls. These are only a few of the details, but there are many more on her blog. Take a look to see what other ideas Pamela has up her sleeve, and be sure to check back with me because in a few weeks I'll be posting pictures of another piece I'm working on for Pamela.
