Happy birthday to the bird dog, Penny Lane!

A lot of people ask why I named my business Bird Dog Wedding.

For two reasons:

1. In hunting (and, no, I'm not an avid hunter by any means), to "bird dog" something means to send your dog to track and find whatever you're hunting. So, I apply this term to my wedding design. I hunt for the perfect wedding inspiration and design for each and every client, with the passion and tenacity of a bird dog ;).

2. The major reason, however, is my little bird dog, Penny Lane, the Brittany. She never ceases to inspire me with her quirkiness, loyalty, and overall sweet disposition. She brings a lot of joy to my life, and I decided to dedicate my business's name to her.

So now that you all think I'm a little crazy, I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to my girl! May many squirrels cross her path today.

Board {Golden Yellow and True Green}

Yes - a board not including pink, peach, or gold! It is possible. This combination conveys preppy, but the play on pattern and texture keeps it fun and fresh. A lovely spring or summertime palette.

Board {Mint and Peach}

I'm sure I'm not the first one to tell you what a cool combo mint and peach is. But let's elaborate some more! It's such a great vintage-inspired palette while feeling so fresh at the same time. The colors are very complimentary so each lends in making the other pop. I just heart it. So much.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Client Love {Alison + Brent}

Howdy! I am so, so excited for this June wedding at Star Hill Ranch. Alison, the bride to be, is a talented artist and handcrafted her lovely invitations as well as many other day-of graphic details. I swear I have the coolest clients!

For now, I wanted to give y'all a sneak peek of their design inspiration. They love natural elements juxtaposed against geometric shapes. And a relaxed, outdoors atmosphere. I can't wait to see it all come together on their big day.

Sometimes you just get wrapped up in things! In the midst of buying a home, planning and designing weddings for amazing clients, and just living life, one forgets to post on their blog from time to time. Well, hopefully it won't happen too often.

Anyway, we decided to give ourselves some props for receiving a bit of blog love this spring.
