Some days ago I had a discussion with H about change. For a while we´ve been thinking about moving to a new home, so let´s put it this way, the word “change” has popped up very often in our talks nowadays. As much as we love our tiny apartment, working and living in such a small space is becoming more and more challenging. At one point he told me “…yea, in some stuff you REALLY don´t like changes!”. For a moment his words felt quite startling. Hah…you think so?! “…are you kidding?” – he asked back. It got me thinking. He is right, in some things I don´t like it, however… Keep Reading
Where love is…
Image: Rita Miklán Photography One of the things I really love about my job is to be part of amazing styled projects. There is a certain positive vibe in the air, when creative people work together and share their passion and love for beautiful weddings. When everyone gives their 100%, it isn´t just about image making. It is storytelling, something that you can relate to. I know, I start sounding like such a cliche for getting excited about every little detail, but what can I do? 🙂 I´m an addict to pretty things, a fan of everything natural and a hopeless visual enthusiast. Today I wanted to show you the… Keep Reading
Creative ideas for table settings
Image: Style Me Pretty One of the best part of wedding decoration is the table setting. I love every bit of it, the cutlery, the tablecloth, the candles and the gorgeous flowers. It´s like all the creative work you invested into the wedding planning is right there at one place. In this post I collected some of my favourite ideas for table settings. Name tags / seating cards Playing around with place card ideas is fun and it can be a great DIY-project. Writing the names of your guests one by one might take a little bit longer time, but it definitely gives a personal touch for the set-up. If… Keep Reading
Colors of 2016: rose quartz and serenity blue
Probably it´s no news anymore that Pantone picked rose quartz and serenity blue as colors of 2016. However the year has just started, so why not still talk about it? I´m personally glad to see that this year´s winner hues are softer and the tones are pastel. 🙂 As I am a big fan of “color blending”, I think it´s a very nice touch of the Color Institute to choose two complementary hues that can be washed together in countless ways. NBCNewYork.com Picking the color of the year is an interesting topic for lots of designers and wedding professionals, so I have been very curious to see how they envision… Keep Reading
Portrait day with Rita
Some months ago I met Rita from Rita Miklan Photography. Our acquaintance moved very fast to a project together, as she asked me to design her a new logo. In the meantime I got to know a fun, nice and talented girl who is just as eager to talk about photography, new creative ideas and cool places in Helsinki, as I am. Over a creamy cup of latte she told me about her plan to do a make-over to her website, which included adding some new portraits of herself as well. It didn´t really take too long to grab our cameras and go outside to fight the Nordic wind and… Keep Reading
Goodbye Summer – Hello Autumn!
We are well in the middle of Autumn and in Helsinki the mornings are often quite chilly. As much as I was craving for some cooler weather after the hot Summer days, now I wish I had just a little bit more of those warm evenings. 🙂 As a “Goodbye Summer 2015″, I thought I´d share with you one of my last outdoor photo-shoots from August. I took these pics of Zsuzsi, who I´ve known since university years and we´ve been good friends ever since. We live in different countries now, but every time we meet, we can quickly pick up where we left off. So, when we set… Keep Reading
