wheew! this week went by fast--today i want to share <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.romonakeveza.com">romona keveza's couture </a>spring 2009 collection. known for her shapely design and gowns that are as much timeless as they are modern, her spring 2009 collection is no exception. i am completely in love with the asymmetrical trumpet skirts--the gown above is just to die for--any bride would be a showstopper in this! and it seems she has crossed over to a little non-traditional with bold colors...the gowns are gorgeous and don't be hesitant to make a statement. you could never go wrong in romona keveza, even if it's royal blue :)<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBV2eAMteI/AAAAAAAAB9g/3Eyn26YB4Ps/s1600-h/Gown+Friday--6.jpg"><br /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242284360514450914-ramona-keveza-spring-2009-bridal-collection" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBV2eAMteI/AAAAAAAAB9g/3Eyn26YB4Ps/s400/Gown+Friday--6.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242284237786097298-ramona-keveza-spring-2009-bridal-collection" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVvUzeppI/AAAAAAAAB9Q/Ads9epAX2Yk/s400/Gown+Friday--4.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBV2tozctI/AAAAAAAAB9o/Mz78fqGfTyk/s1600-h/Gown+Friday--7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242284364711293650-ramona-keveza-spring-2009-bridal-collection" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBV2tozctI/AAAAAAAAB9o/Mz78fqGfTyk/s400/Gown+Friday--7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVuhIQzdI/AAAAAAAAB84/Jr-nqMSfWRM/s1600-h/Gown+Friday--1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242284223914626514-ramona-keveza-spring-2009-bridal-collection" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVuhIQzdI/AAAAAAAAB84/Jr-nqMSfWRM/s400/Gown+Friday--1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVu5QlKiI/AAAAAAAAB9A/JlOSq4yS-og/s1600-h/Gown+Friday--2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242284230391966242-ramona-keveza-spring-2009-bridal-collection" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVu5QlKiI/AAAAAAAAB9A/JlOSq4yS-og/s400/Gown+Friday--2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVvH7fZZI/AAAAAAAAB9I/BANuLZ-Xq6s/s1600-h/Gown+Friday--3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242284234330039698-ramona-keveza-spring-2009-bridal-collection" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVvH7fZZI/AAAAAAAAB9I/BANuLZ-Xq6s/s400/Gown+Friday--3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242284241929355186-ramona-keveza-spring-2009-bridal-collection" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SMBVvkPTv7I/AAAAAAAAB9Y/7czV8XP8_14/s400/Gown+Friday--5.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.brides.com"><span style="font-size:xx-small;">photo credits</span></a></div><div align="center"></div>Dani @ Weddings Freshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13288684334466994465noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607628630651326343.post-65050084475460721302008-09-03T07:30:00.000-07:002008-09-03T07:30:00.889-07:00we're moving!<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">sooo great!

<div align="center">today i would like to "officially" introduce you to <a href="http://marithansonweddings.blogspot.com/">marit hanson weddings</a>. i have eyed her work long ago and featured her designs for some unique <a href="http://weddingsbydani.blogspot.com/2008/03/clever-ways-to-save-date.html">save the date ideas</a>, but thankfully yesterday i got in contact with her and have some more to share!!</div><br />
<div align="center">my personal favorite are these first two; they are actually two options of a single design she created for a client. the bride and groom were married at a country club, and without going "cheesy matchy" marit decided to incorporate the "polka dots" on the golf ball for in the invitation. i love it! wonderfully simple, but as always with style and creativity. </div><br />

i think this is a wonderful idea for couples to introduce themselves and show off their personalities to their family and friends--especially if you have a spouse-to-be who is not so familiar to everyone coming to your wedding.<br /></div><div align="center">melissa also sent me some of their engagement shots that help create their invitation look. thank you so much <a href="http://www.soulmatesphoto.com/index2.php?v=v1">melissa</a>!!!

i hope you all do as well :) and when we got back last night i was so excited to see some e-mails from a good friend of mine <a href="http://weddingsbydani.blogspot.com/2008/03/studio-olivine.html">julie dutton </a>from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.studio-olivine.com">studio olivine </a>about her latest invitation endeavor! i've been anxiously awaiting her newest designs and this one is just gorgeous. she's never one to disappoint! </div><div align="center">my eye is always drawn to letterpress and handmade paper--there is nothing like it. and since i am not the letterpress expert, i wanted her to share with you her vision and process for this invite:</div><br /><div align="center"><em>So these were a really fun project. Their wedding theme is Damask. So everything relates to that pattern in some way. They came to me and said they wanted Damask, but nothing that was flowery. So I hit the fabric store and got some inspiration. They really wanted something inclusive, so I decided to design this as a folder with a pocket. The large plum colored pattern was printed with one giant wood block letterpress plate. The pockets were scored and glued on the corners by Elisabeth (my helper) and I. Then on the invitation, I used a pale lilac wash version of the Damask placed behind the text so that people's eyes would get a chance to breathe a bit, but everything would still be tied together. The rsvp cards were stuffed into the pockets. Total this took 9 different letterpress plates. There were 200 invitations, so that means that it took a total of 1,800 times through the letterpress to finish the project. Two full days of work. A labor of love, indeed.</em></div><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233289283509374962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iXiN8O-z8Ic/SKBg4E5vT_I/AAAAAAAABwE/haRIaP5KE4U/s400/Studio+Olivine.henry+cover+copy.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233289280939672098" style="DISPLAY: block;
