DIY Saga...Part II

I am deliciously obsessed with Vintage Glamour and equally obsessed with silhouettes. They had to go somewhere..anywhere in my wedding so I decided they would grace the Menus or as I called them Le Menus...and the Sweetheart table. I wanted something different and retro for the sweetheart table, so I made these and attached the coordinating vintage ribbon that was on our champagne flutes and cake cutting set. The menus were very easy once I had a direction, I mixed to retro fonts and got to printing and voila...I really could paper the walls with these lovelies!!

Oh Swoon and a tear!!

The very first moment I have felt any wedding regret!! I would have given an arm and some leg to have these at my wedding! These are perfect party props and what amazing props for a photo booth....

These famous half faces include Audrey Hepburn, Elvis, Charlie Chaplin..the Victorian Ones are just darling as well...

Please excuse me as I go sob in the back room....

FYI....I WILL be getting these for my Christmas Party...

The Coquette Dress..and why I fell in love

I was not one of those brides who had a million pictures of what I wanted and ended up with something totally different. I KNEW what I wanted and I ended up with exactly that.

I knew I wanted fitted, mermaid shape, nothing sparkly or white. It had to have a vintage feel to it, be comfortable but most importantly I wanted straps!! I don't know why, but I insisted the dress have some kind of sleeve or strap...it was a completeness that made it feel retro to me.

It was the 3rd dress I tried on and it was love at first sight. It was absolutely perfect and so comfortable, I did not need a bra and special underwear was so unnecessary...

A Coquette Engagement

A big thank you to Alyssa for sharing these beautiful engagement photos with us and for sharing a bit of insight on them. I was taken by how these pics are almost in motion. They capture the emotion of these two love birds but in a way that makes me feel like if I printed them and made a flip book it would be really stunning.

Bravo Coquette!
What was the feeling you were going for with this session?

I have to say that the location is a place where we have been going since we started dating (almost 5 years) just either for a nice (cheap) date, a walk around the pond, or even to have alone time. It's so quiet and serene and has such a gorgeous, romantic backdrop...we didn't even think twice about having our epics taken there. That basically sums up the feel of what we wanted the pictures to reflect: romantic, serene, lush, colorful, and playful.

As far as favorite pics, i like too many of them. The candids I especially love because they really caught a true moment between John and I. The 1 black and white I love b/c of the depth of the photo with the flowers, the one i have as my main FB photo, the ones of us on the bench, by the tree, the smoking one etc, etc.

TJ from Duet did such an amazing job and was such a pleasure to work with!

The Saga of the DIY..

There were many additions to the wedding that I just had to make myself. Some were really simple and some I could have just dug my head in the ground like an ostrich for even getting my self into but nonetheless, I finished everything I started even if it was overkill...I am a determined little Coquette. Here are some Paper Projects....

Needless to say, the accommodation and directions insert caused me much drama because of course what the hotel and reception hall gave me was insufficient in my eyes..it simply would not do and I had to do something that matched! So, I got busy and voila, the booklet was born...










I remember going through my parents wedding guest book and wedding cards when I was younger and I know that I wanted a book that our children could easily go through when they wanted to. I purchased a Martha Stewart Archival Album, and embellished the pages with vintage style blank postcards that I printed myself and black photo corners. The effect was gorgeous and each page looks like it has an authentic vintage postcard because everyone had a different style of filling it in, little doodles and special messages made the book come alive. My mom found that gorgeous feather pen which she gave to me on my bridal shower and it tied the entire vintage glam vibe together...Swoon.

Loving new bride of mine Kirsten and her vintage theme..these are her potential goodies..cannot wait to get them done in person!!

A Coquette Engagment..

I just HAD to share these awesome, amazing, stunning epics sent to me by one of my brides Allison. I have a soft spot for her because not only is he gorgeous but super sweet and these pics have given me so much inspiration I WANT to make everything with them!

These are so fierce and Swoontastic..she is killing it in the pics with the red shoes...

I believe these were taken at Epcot Center in Orlando...

Bravo Coquette..You Rock Allison!
