Temperley London

Temperley is still one of my favorite designers. These dresses show why.

Dress Hunt

After I got engaged I realized I have to start looking for a wedding dress. I already had images in my head about "my dress". I had done my homework before I even knew I was getting married ;)  But I knew that the reality would probably be that I wouldn't find my kind of dress in Finland, not to mention the price... Yep, the dresses that I had been looking through internet were designer dresses and out of my reach. But I thought I would give it a try and went to different wedding shops. Things didn't look good at all. There was lot of pretty dresses, but no for me. I was giving up. But to my surprise this one wedding shop had few dresse that caught my eyes. They weren't exactly what I was hoping to find, but close to it. I found my dress. It was for me. Even though I had to give up on the wedding dresses like these:

First: Vera Wang Bridal Spring 2010

Second: Monique Lhuillier Bridal Spring 2010

Third: Amsale Blue Label Collection

Pieces to adore

You have probably already seen these picture in someone else's blog. But I thought I might as well show you these beautiful accessories. These are mady by Jennifer Behr. I love these pieces!! Simple but beautiful! (Hopefully someday I will create something like that!). They will bring something extra to a wedding dress. Definitely when you have simple dress that needs that something.

Too traditional....

The problem with living in a country like Finland is that there isn't that many wedding shops. Even though we are next to Sweden and other "fashion countries", the wedding shops I've found here are too traditional for me. I don't want traditional Finnish wedding... I want something extra. I want to get out of the basic wedding pattern and bring new ideas from the world into "Finnish wedding thinking".
I'll try to show you what I mean....

Weddings weddings....

What I haven't told you yet, I'm getting married next August!!! And I still have loads to do! If that isn't enough stress for me, my sister is also getting married (before me though) and....I'm making her wedding dress. What have I got myself into??  Oih....
So, now that almost all of my thoughts are about weddings, I might as well show you things that I've been looking and planning. Give you ideas for weddings and hopefully help you not to do the same mistakes I will probably make.
Well....I just have to try not to stress too much and enjoy "the planning journey". I hope our wedding will be filled with joy, happiness, fun and a bit of romantic atmosphere ;)

Back again!

It's time to open a new page and really start doing this blog! Time has gone so fast and things have changed. For the good though :) I haven't given up on my dreams and I still want to achieve them. So now I have finally decided to take some action and start doing something about it! Most people just settle down with what they've got, even though they have dreams and wishes.... Not saying there's anything wrong about it, as long as you're happy :) But I don't want to wake up one day and realize I didn't even try to reach my goals. You need to have something to dream about, to give you power and strength and reasons to enjoy everyday life.

My dream is still someday having my own company with my sister. So I wish that this blog will push me forward as I'm trying to clarify what I want to create and what is it that I really want to do. My interests haven't changed and still love creating beautiful pieces and bringing joy to life.

Through this blog I want to show you beautiful creations and inspirations, as well as give you ideas for everyday life and celebrations. I'm back!
