Monday Morning Inspiration: Maria Lucia Hohan
Sometimes I open my Google Reader and just about die… that’s what happened when I saw these stunning images from Cherry Blossom Girl from Maria Lucia Hohan’s designs. Between the muted color story, ruffles, light fabrics and sparkly bows… I’m officially in love.

I have such a love for shoes, especially fluffy, ruffly, romantic shoes with flowers, bows or embellishments on them. I was in Nordy’s last weekend eyeing the Badgley Mischka sandals for an outfit I’m planning to wear to a special event and had to share them.
Things We Love, Vol. #6
Boy, it is cold and windy outside today. We’re working on an amazing winter themed wedding photoshoot for you which I can’t wait to share. In light of the recently snowy situation here in Connecticut I thought it would be the perfect time to share some winter inspiration! Grab some hot cocoa and a chunky throw…
Loving this Evergreen, Silver and Citron color story / inspiration board from Flights of Fancy.
Style Me Pretty recently featured this amazing wedding in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Also totally loving this winter inspired engagement shoot.
Our friend Nina, who is the knower of all things petite and fabulous, shared with us her amazing christmas decorations this year. Check them out! Oh Joy! also featured some of those amazing christmas bulbs on their website. Why do I love these so much?
S’mores are perfect any season, but especially during the winter months. Elizabeth Ann Designs blogged about these amazing s’more favors. It is all about packaging. It makes the mundane extraordinary! I also love this felt rosette wreath they posted too. I’m in love with ruffles this season!
The Party Dress created an amazing inspiration board for a Martini and Mistletoe soiree. Yes please!
These hand made snow flakes remind me of elementary school…. and Elf! Such a great way to decorate the house (and inexpensive)!
Snippet and Ink posted their newest board, Baby it’s Cold Outside. Makes me want to have a winter wedding!! I’m also loving the slight retro feeling of their other board, Ivory and Evergreen.
and last, but not least…
Yes, I know. I’m not sure if this is winter inspiration but I had to post about it. I’m looking forward to the day when a bride hands me this picture and says, “Candice, design a wedding for me around THIS!”
A girl can dream, right?
