Looking for knickers with a small carbon footprint?

Luva Huva produces eco-friendly  garments in the United Kingdom that are utterly adorable. Each knicker is hand made with bows, frills and sometimes buttons to make a very special and unique pair of knickers.

Perfect for your wedding day. Luva Huva’s method of production minimizes environmental impact and I work as ecologically as possible. Luva Huva’s use a variety of end of line fabrics, remnants and cut-offs that would otherwise go to waste. All the materials are sourced locally and every garment is handmade in the UK by Luva Huva, meaning their knickers have a small carbon footprint. Consequently they are not only beautiful but also ethically sound.

eco friendly wedding invites

i-do-it-yourself.com is one of our favorite web sites for all things DIY. You definitely have to stop by and visit their post on Lauren and Andrew’s DIY wedding. These green invites are the pride and joy of Lauren and Andrew’s DIY wedding efforts. They created these chipboard invitation wheels to give guests a creative way to get all their information in an heirloom keepsake format.

They are made from two circles of untreated, recycled chipboard die cut and letter pressed to look like an old planting wheel with redwood rings on it.

Thank you for stopping by and coming to see part two of our shabby chic bridal shower. Shot by the lovely Jessica Claire Photography. Please be sure to stop by later today there is still more prettiness that wish to share with you.

Read on to see how Carter and Cook Event Co. pulled together this adorable event.

Because spring is right around the corner, they wanted a look that was fresh, fun, feminine and unique! They chose shades of yellow, sea blue, greens and mixed in bits of tangerine. All clean colors to reflect the vibe of Cafe Mimosa. The soft green dishes were found at found at TJ Maxx for $4 a piece! The stemware and mugs where bought at our favorite shabby chic hang out, Anthropologie.

That table cloth and runner was custom sewn. The floral pattern overlay which was delicately  lined with a fun fringe. The cuter than life baby pink table runner was also custom made. They took a stripped tangerine and cream piece of fabric and glued hundreds of buttons on the ends of the runner. The variety of buttons were collected from Michal’s, and Etsy.  It was basically a button bonanza.

The button garland!! Truly a labor of love, but so worth it! It really makes the space beautiful and unique. Carter and Cook Event Co strung each button one by one to make various draping levels of button garland.

The adorable menu’s, place cards, and invitations were hand stitched and adorned with button by the fabulous Paper and Thread!

I love the flowers they immediately stood out to me as pure perfection.

The Floral Lab created a beautiful centerpiece for this shabby chic tablescape. She used beautiful orange ranunculus, tulips, hydrangea, mini daffodils, Craspedia (billy balls) and my personal favorite, Kumquats. The florals were done in three simple white rectangular vases to keep our look clean and fresh.

Excellent job, don’t you think?

To keep in the ‘brunch’ theme, each guest received a wooden recipe box full of favorite recipes. The recipe box has an Ink and Button hair piece, which each girl can wear in their hair, or fastened a sweater! Tied on the back of each chair was a set of measuring spoons for an added touch!

Alice In Wonderland

Are you super excited for the Disney’s new Alice In Wonderland movie?

I am a huge Johnny Depp fan and will be there with bells on. So, as you might have guessed I jumped at the chance to share with you a recent styled shoot from My Sorted Affair that is inspired by Alice In Wonderland. Complete with a real life bunny and The Mad Hatter. Who actually looks quite mad in his own right.  All the incredible paper goodies you see are from our favorite,  The Papeterie Store.

Jessica Frey Photography snapped all these delightful photos for your enjoyment.

How The Shoot Came To Be From  My Sorted Affair

Our shoot was inspired by the upcoming Tim Burton’s New Disney movie, Alice In Wonderland. Who doesn’t like a vintage tea party? My Sorted Affair could easily translate this into a bridal shower for any unique bride, or baby shower, as My Sorted Affair is currently planning a baby shower based on this theme for later in the year.

Jessica and Therese both had ideas to do a “Alice in Wonderland” themed shoot and during collaboration on another project decided to combine forces and make this one happen!  We chose a beautiful blossoming almond orchard in Bakersfield to help bring the vision to life.

The dishes and most props including teapots, vases, frames, books, etc. are part of My Sorted Affair private collection. Some of them, like the yellow chair also came from Jessica Frey Photography private collection of photography props.  They were picked up from years of antiquing and thrifting.  The hanging painted frames are Ribba frames from Ikea. Alice’s hair bow is a hair accessory made by My Sorted Affairs Boutique over at Etsy.

The dress can be found at Forever 21

The real life lop-eared rabbit is Toby, Meagan’s pet!  Our “Mad Hatter” is James Frey of San Luis Obisbo.
