Carrie Howlett Photography

Today's featured photo shoot is one I did earlier with the lovely Deliese and her Fiance.  She picked all the individual items out to rent from our inventory herself, and the styling and placement of the items came together so well!  The photographs were taken by Carrie Howlett.  I think her work and style completely come out in these pictures.  The more I got to know Deliese at the shoot, I found out she is a ballerina studying at Utah Valley University.  I loved how this was tied in with the use of her point shoes!  It definitely makes the engagement pictures unique to the couple. This cute couple is since married in the new year and I wish them all the best!  :)

Heather & Cody: Engagements

The holidays were a great time to relax and rest, and now I am ready to gear up for the wedding season ahead! Over the break one of my friends and her cute fiance rented our festive sled for their engagements with Connor Barry Photography.  These engagements make for a cute way to show off the season.  A little vintage sled was the perfect touch for their playful pics!  Best wishes to the happy couple!

Ashley & Paul

It is a beautiful chilly morning here in Salt Lake City; and as I stare out the window and think about how I miss the beautiful fall weather, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite weddings we did earlier this year!  Ashley and Paul used some of our "Odds and Ends" on their wedding day and it turned out darling!  My favorite idea to take away from this wedding is the use of two of our ladders with clothes pins and yarn.  These babies ended up being a focal point photo display at their wedding!  I believe this is an idea that is so simple to put together, but can definitely attract the attention of your guests!...You could really display not only photos, but place cards, thank yous, anything you wanted really!  So if you looking outside and see a cloudy day, maybe this warmer weather wedding can cheer you up a bit and bring you some new inspiration!   -J

Utah Lake Bridals

Odds and Ends had fun earlier this fall at Utah Lake with one of our brides, Ashely.  She picked a great piece from our inventory for her photo shoot with Lora Grady Photography.  I love how one chair can so gorgeous, love it!  The pictures are amazing!  Ashley and Paul picked out different antiques and vintage items for their wedding day as well.  Keep an eye for another post with these soon!   -J

Rebecca & Bryan

It is coming close to Thanksgiving, and the snow is falling.  Backyard wedding season has retired for now, and Northern Utah has to migrate inside.  Yesterday I traveled to a reception center called Highland Gardens for Rebecca and Bryan's wedding reception.  If you are still in love with the warm outdoors, but find that you have to keep your guests inside this is a great place!  This reception center is a beautiful green-house.  To add to this, Rebecca took some of our inventory to add vintage accents to her reception.  It looked beautiful and I wish her and her husband the best!      -J
