Beauty in the old and chippy

When we spotted these beauties at a local antique shop, my mom and I knew we had to have them. Something about the old peeling paint that had found it's home on the delicately arched window panes was just so inviting.



And look how they are instantly transformed into a gorgeous backdrop piece by adding lace paper flowers!
We think they would look amazing suspended behind an altar, or as a cake backdrop! To inquire about renting these or any items on the site or blog email: info@recollectionvintagerentals.com

For You With All My Love

A few nights ago we teamed up with BHLDN to host a Valentine crafting party! Utilizing vintage notions from Recollection and lovely trims and decor from BHLDN, 25 lucky guests learned how to hand craft two adorable Valentine gifts taught by the fabulous stylists at BHLDN. Dionne taught the art of crafting paper fortune cookies, and Balushka showed the girls how to make the sweetest heartfelt card! Enjoy these pretty pics below from some of our photog friends who attended the event!

Adorable Outdoor Family Session

Back in November we had the opportunity to style an outdoor family session- and not just any family- one of the cutest I have ever seen! (and I'm not at all bias, being that these two adorable boys are my nephews ;-)) But, seriously, how cute?!!
The photo shoot took place at Champions Golf Club, which was the perfect back drop for an outdoor session. The family came looking super sharp in their coordinating outfits. The boy's shirts by Strawberry Blonde Boutique were perfect!
We wanted to incorporate vintage toys and bright reds and blues- perfect for little boys!
Liam had a ball! We tried to save the toys for last, but he spotted them early on!
Just the boys :-)Such a lovely couple!
Christa Elyce captured this session beautifully! We had so much fun and can't wait to do more family sessions!
