Making Words Beautiful – An Artist Profile of Victoria Fiaretti of Wood & Grace Handlettering Boutique.

By | Meet the Artist, weddings | One Comment

 Greetings!  Today I want to introduce something special, a new blog series called Meet the Artist.  In my line of work, I’m fortunate to get to meet and collaborate with a ton of amazing artists, small business owners and creative professionals.  Victoria Fiaretti, of Wood & Grace Handlettering Boutique is all three.  I first heard of Wood & Grace when my sister, Ashley, was gifted a beautiful hand painted wooden sign at her bridal shower with her wedding date.  It was such a unique and special piece that stood out among the common registry items  in her shower gifts.  (*Disclaimer – brides still definitely need and appreciate their registry items!  I know I needed and am still using the silverware, plates, towels, and sheets that I got at my own shower!) After Ashley’s shower, we had the pleasure of photographing a ton of Victoria’s work popping up at weddings all…

Wedding Album Registry – the perfect gift

By | Products, weddings, What to do with your images | No Comments

Spring has arrived and before you know it, wedding season will be in full swing!  That means that right now it’s bridal shower season, and if you know someone getting married this year, you’re looking for a wedding gift.  I would like to tell you a story about a toilet brush.  In 2009, my husband Sean (who was still just my boyfriend at the time) had a friend who was getting married to an awesome girl.  Sean received an invite for us with information for their registry, and like most men completely ignored the RSVP date and gift information.  By the time they called asking us to RSVP and I found the invitation, nearly every item on their registry was already purchased.  Every item was marked off except one, a toilet brush with matching toilet brush caddy.  Why was it the only item left? Because no one wants to walk…

What to do with your images: Vivid Metal Prints

By | Products, What to do with your images | One Comment

    Today I’m excited to share with you another installment of “What to do with your images”, our blog series to help you get your photos out of your hard drives, onto your walls and into your life ! We are all guilty of having years of digital photos trapped on our computers, risking the possibility of data loss, and potentially never seeing the light of day.  I am probably more guilty of this than anyone else I know.  I live in a house with naked walls.  I have hundreds of thousands of digital images at my fingertips from family trips, vacations, adventures, but when I want to get something on the wall – I freeze up, become overwhelmed by options and ultimately walk away and leave it till another day.  Does this sound like you?  Do you also live in a house with naked walls?  Or do you have…

What to do with your images: Accordion Mini Books

By | Engagements, Milestones, Products, weddings, What to do with your images | No Comments

I got a great reader question in my email today!  Someone asked how to go about ordering one of our accordion books – and I thought what a great opportunity to share some info on what they are and how to order!  Accordion books are a GREAT way to display and share your photos!  They hold 8 photos each and come with a plain or photo cover.  There are four photos on each side and it folds up like a book with a hard cover and magnet closure.  You can also display it open on a shelf or table top by standing it up.  We have two sizes – the regular accordion size which is 5×7 inches and these smaller mini books which are pictured below.  (I like to say that the regular sized accordions are “purse-sized” and the mini ones are “pocket-sized”. Accordion mini books are great for seniors,…
