TSO Loves: Emily Steffen

When it comes to wedding planning and design, it's the little details that truly make the event memorable. As a bride-to-be I have been carefully curating accents to make our wedding personal and fun. When I came across the work of Emily Steffen I was hooked... which is why we decided to team up for a super fun promotion (see details below)!

Emily is both a photographer and an artist who I originally came across Emily during an Etsy binge one day. I was delighted to learn that she had her own shop with many beautiful pieces. From cake toppers to chair signs, and even t-shirts, she has some of the most on-trend, creative items for your Big Day.

Here's a little about Emily from the artist herself:

"I am a midwest wedding photographer by day and handmade artist on rainy days and nights. I believe in the power of love. I believe in marriage. I believe that weddings are a beautiful beginning to a life spent together. And I believe that handmade items should put a REALLY big smile on your face to brighten your day! 

Every item is designed to be a beautiful detail on a wedding day AND can be translated back into your home for daily routine. The tees/tanks can become joyful every-day wear or the state ring-bearer pillows can become a cute accent pillow thrown on the couch to remember your wedding day!"

I just love finding artists and vendors in the industry who truly understand the meaning behind our work and what it means for couples to say, "I do!" Emily, you're a gem and I can't wait to share what you've created for our wedding and to see what you do next! Now... on to the fun stuff!

BHLDN: Summer Loves Collection

Have you seen BHLDN's new summer collection? We were blown away! From the gorgeous textures to the blissful color palette, we were in awe. The BHLDN team sent over some beautiful images for me to share with you and I'm so excited to hear your thoughts.

Shot on the sands of Noordhoek Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, the collection breathes romance and exudes a delicate femininity. Here's what the team had to say about their latest collection:

"She moves to the beat of her heart. The summer sun seems to rise only for her, catching the light as she skims the shoreline. She kisses the sea and falls, heart first, into the blue abyss. It’s that indescribable feeling of falling in love, the feeling that inspired BHLDN to bring “Summer Loves” to life with its latest collection of creative imagery."

Tiered layers of rose tulle and glistening sequins highlight the exceptional handwork displayed throughout this collection. We love the natural incorporation of bridal separates and relaxed bridesmaids styles that truly capture the essence of the modern-day bride. Bravo, BHLDN!

Oscar de la Renta Spring 2016

I was honored to be invited to attend the preview of Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2016 bridal collection just a few weeks ago. I was absolutely devastated that I couldn't make it, but was lucky enough to be sent some absolutely incredible photos of the collection by their fabulous team that I can't wait to share with you!

Designer Peter Copping debuted his first bridal collection for Oscar de la Renta making this a very special, and bittersweet, affair. Mr. de la Renta’s innate sense of romance and glamour was preserved within this collection. From luscious tulle to whimsical organza, there were plenty of magical textures waltzing down the runway. Modern silhouettes and shimmering sequins also made an appearance, as did a convertible gown! Elegant bustier tops and organic tiered layers were a highlight of this modern, yet timeless collection.

Copping did a wonderful job of incorporating his own creativity into a renown wedding line that will live forever in the hearts of brides and fashionistas alike. His collection celebrated Oscar’s legacy and allowed it to live on in a fresh, beautiful way. 

Which dress is your favorite? Leave a comment below or tweet us @TheStylishOne_. I can't wait to attend next season's show and continue to bring you even more of the very best in bridal. Check out the gallery below for a few more of our favorites!

TSO Loves: Lola Louie Paperie

One of my favorite things in this world is beautiful paper and beautiful writing. Laura of Lola Louie Paperie on Etsy combines each of these things into stunning paper products. From note cards to gift tags, invitations, and more Laura has created a lovely aesthetic and a fabulous array of products. 

Recently, Laura and I have teamed up to create some very special pieces for my Big Day, but you'll have to wait for those! In the mean time, we've decided to offer you a special 10% off discount code (TSOLOVESLLP) off your order with Lola Louie Paperie.

I also had the pleasure of photographing some items from her line. Keep scrolling to learn more about Laura and to peep my faves... including her gold embossed social stationary set!

Laura started Lola Louie Paperie just last year while planning her own wedding. She began with envelope liners because, "I couldn't find anything out there I liked! Paper goods have always been a passion of mine so I extended the product line to include wedding invitations, save the dates, baby shower invitations, etc. (all with lined envelopes, of course)!" 

Laura considers her aesthetic to be, “'careful carelessness', a blend of bohemian and vintage styles with a modern and simplistic touch. I shy away from anything too formal or stuffy in an effort to provide perfectly mismatched paper goods. I love gold foil and anything in watercolor!" She lives in St. Louis with her husband and her adorable dog, Millie. You can find Lola Louie Paperie on Etsy or follow her on Pinterest and Facebook!

I am loving this gold thank you note with polka dot envelope liner!

I love sending and receiving handwritten notes from friends and family. There is something so special about opening a note written on a beautiful card!

Anyone who knows me knows I am in overly obsessed with gold foil. These gorgeous gift tags are the perfect addition to any gift or favor.

How sweet is this French inspired card? Bonjour

Stay tuned to see the special pieces Laura created for our special day this summer. Until then, check out her Etsy shop and don't forget to use TSOLOVESLLP at checkout for 10% off your order!
