Happy Friday! I was thrilled to find out my Vintage Styled Lily of the Valley Wedding Invitation was featured in a Lily of the Valley treasury on etsy this month, created by Elizabeth of Tint Press. Did you know that the flower of the month for May is the Lily of the Valley? You can find the personalized print-at-home Lily of the Valley Wedding Invitation template in my etsy shop. You can also see the Vintage Inspired Lily of the Valley Photo Shoot here that features my {hand-glittered} invitation and gorgeous florals from EightTreeStreet.

Below are four of my handmade favorites from the Lily of the Valley Treasury from Elizabeth . . .

I was thrilled when Maribel of EightTreeStreet asked me if I would like to design a wedding invitation and corresponding paper goods for a photo shoot. I couldn't say no to having the chance to design something fresh with a vintage look in the hot summer color trends of blue and green. So here is the beautiful floral summer shoot with a hint of vintage style that was inspired by my paper creations . PS: the paper goods are available for purchase in my etsy shop, including the lily of the valley invitation and forget me not place cards.

As I'm sure you know by now, last Friday was the Royal Wedding with Kate Middleton carrying a lovely dainty bouquet made mostly of lily of the valley - which I loved. I know there's lots of talk about it being too small - but in my opinion, it was perfect for Kate, not overpowering her small frame and not competing with her GORGEOUS wedding gown. I thought it was such a beautiful arrangement of flowers as it's more free flowing and not having each flower strategically placed. The overall look is soft and just perfect for a spring wedding.

Since I've always loved Lily of the Valley - there's just something so sweet and pretty about the tiny bell flowers, I had to put together a Lily of the Valley inspiration board.
