Board#228: Dusky Rose

Happy Friday!! How are your Christmas preparations going? I hope for your sake far better than mine... which are completely non-existent at this point!! I am in the thick of getting several jobs out the door and I've given myself a deadline of next Friday so the week after can be free of stress and I can concentrate on getting my Christmas on. I'm going to steal my nieces for a couple of days and do some fun things!! At some point I'd better start making a list of presents I need to buy... the hubs is asking me to make my own list of 10 items (I don't get all ten, just so he has choices!!) and I truly don't know where to start! What's on your wish list?

Almond Orchard Shoot by Stephanie Williams

Many of you will have seen these stunning images from Stephanie Williams already but it's simply too pretty not to share again, so that's exactly what I'm doing on this lovely Saturday! I must admit to never having heard of an Almond Orchard but that is exactly where this is shot. I'm almost speechless at the utter perfection of these photos... words like 'pretty' hardly do them justice. From the exquisite gowns to the dreamy ethereal like blossoms, to the soft painterly colours, it's all completely dreamy. Go ahead and lose yourself in them! Have a wonderful weekend! K xo

Classically pretty wedding by Stephanie Williams

I'm so thrilled to have the work of Stephanie Williams from This Modern Romance up on the blog today. I've been a long time admirer of her stunning work and I'm sure if you're not familiar with the name, you will have seen her amazing editorials dotted all over the place... especially this Ruche Bridal one and this fall fashion one also for Ruche. I honestly adore each and every feature she posts... her work has such an otherworldly glow to it. I wasn't able to get a whole lot of information about Faith & Alex's wedding but I know the photos more than make up for any lack thereof. 

I also urge you to take the time to read this post here, all about Stephanie's husband Issac who last year had a stroke and serious complications resulting from a brain tumour. I have been following their story since it happened and it was both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. Thankfully Issac is on the road to recovery but they need all the help they can get, so please please take 10 minutes to read this and donate if you're able to.

And after you're done with that check out the prettiness below!!
