Marit Hanson Weddings on Style Me Pretty!

I kind of want to type my post title 193 more times. That's how excited I am to see my work on the pages of Style Me Pretty! I've been a member of the Little Black Book for many years now (woo hoo!), but this is my first feature on their blog.

I worked with Locally Grown Weddings (an amazing group of ladies), in San Francisco on this styled shoot. It was so much fun to design all the paper goods for them, and I can't wait to work with them in the future!

Wicked Good Wedding Feature!

Check it out, our wedding was featured on The Party Press! I was so excited to share all of our details again. I hope that party planners all over the world are inspired by our Wicked Good Wedding. Even more so, I hope they contact me to help them with their big event. :)

In case you missed it, we were featured on the Knotty Bride too. If you are planning a wedding, make sure to add her blog to your bookmarks if it isn't already. She'll inspire you, and make you laugh until you pee your pants. Which in my book, is the perfect combination.

What I've been up to...

2012 has been full of changes for me. I started the year by quitting my full-time day job to focus on weddings. Most of my time is spent working as Creative Director WeddingLovely. I work with two amazing and talented women, and we are building something so awesome for all you planning brides as well as small independent vendors (like me!). It gets better and better every day. Whether you are a bride or a wedding vendor--check it out! We'd love to have you be a part of WeddingLovely.


Things are going great, I honestly couldn't be happier. Every day, I am immersed in weddings and meeting new people. The wedding industry has some truly amazing and inspirational entrepreneurs– it's definitely put some spark back into my life and a match under my ass. My assistant, Pete, no longer spends all day alone. Instead? He gets outside time and some afternoon snuggles while I work on my laptop. I'm even learning to make some time for myself too, I'm back in spin class and getting into shape. Even more awesome, is my amazing husband who has supported my leap...he rocks my socks off. I could not have done this without him. Life is good.

While I am not super active on my blog, I will try to pop in more often to update you on what's going on with Marit Hanson Weddings. I've got some new designs to share (and a website that needs a refresh!). You can always find me on twitter, I tweet daily! I'm also on Pinterest--you can find everything from fashion, to home decor, to things that make me giggle...and weddings of course! If you aren't a fan on facebook, I'd love to have you there too! I blog M-F at WeddingLovely, visit it for daily wedding inspiration!

Thank you so much everyone for supporting me! Marit Hanson Weddings has been 6 years in the making (I can't believe that!) and it feels so good to finally be able to focus on the wedding industry full-time.

Wicked Good Wedding

Some of you probably already saw our feature on The Knotty Bride today. I was stoked to see our wedding on her site, she's my favorite wedding blogger ever. She tells it how it is and cracks my ass up while doing so. If you have not read her recaps of The Bachelor, please go do so! But, before you go---here are some more photos from our "Wicked Good Wedding." Enjoy!

Having a Winery Wedding?

Getting married at a vineyard? Or maybe you and your fiancé share a love for wine? Either way I think you are going to love this invitation set I created with one thing in mind: wine!



An elegant pattern covers this invitation set. Look closer, and you'll see that it's actually wine bottles!



Love the design, but find that it's not the right color palette? Or maybe you'd like to see some different fonts. No problem! I can customize the design just for you.

You can order a sample here.

Cheers!

Update!

I've been MIA on my blog. With Facebook and Twitter being so easily accessible and so followed, it's easy to get behind here. Sorry about that! I have lots of stuff I want to share with you: new designs, DIY and advice to name a few. Stay tuned for that!

In the meantime, I am so excited to announce that I have joined WeddingLovely as Creative Director! If you aren't familiar with it---get yourself familiar! If you are a bride, WeddingLovely is a GREAT source to find some amazing vendors. Sign up for the email newsletters and get some amazing tips, advice and vendor suggestions for your wedding.

I'll likely report to you what I am writing for WeddingLovely and link you over (because there's so much good stuff to share!)! I am so excited to be fully emerged in the wedding industry and want to thank all of my amazing friends, family and supportive husband for cheering me along the way. Pete is pretty excited too, this means that I'll be home a lot more – which means more walks and yard time.

You guys rock my socks off.

Holiday crazyness

Who knew that this month would be so hectic! I've been really busy gearing up for our first Christmas as a married couple which means: more shopping, more planning, more traveling and, as a result, LESS TIME. Between working full-time at an agency, doing some work for MHW on the side, spending time with my men (my dog + husband), my freetime for blogging is few and far between. Not to mention, Christmas is a week away and I still have gifts to buy. Amazon here I come!

It's important when you are so busy to stop and smell the roses. Or whatever flowers might be nearby. Speaking of which...check out my bouquet? I totally let the florist run with it, giving her some direction on my style via Pinterest and here's what she put together:
