    I love this wedding! It captured the gorgeous couple and all the adorable details so beautifully!

    I have to say I am flabbergasted that those lights are handmade. Have you though about going into business?!

  6. Benjamin Says:

    I really like the Twinkle Typography Board. That’s a great off-season application for Christmas lights. I’m assuming they’re LED lights? Seems like regular incandescent mini lights would get too hot.

    Hollywood’s hottest celebs stepped out for the 11th Annual ‘InStyle’ Summer Soiree and while some stayed in season and donned summery ensembles while others already started the transition to fall! Which look did really love?
