<div style="background-color: white; color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Yuji Obata was born in Japan in 1962. He attended the Nihon University College of Art and currently resides in Tokyo. He has won numerous photography prizes in Japan, and his work was first shown outside of Japan in 2010 with Danziger Projects at Pulse Miami.<br />
<br />
In 2003, Obata was compelled to photograph winter scenes in Japan as he stood in front of Pieter Bruegel's painting "The Hunters in the Snow" in Vienna's Museum of Art History. Upon returning to Japan, he traveled to the country's northernmost island, Hokkaidō, known for its cold and snowy winters. As he worked there photographing ice skaters at a middle school rink and a local speed skating team, his enchantment with images of winter deepened. Traveling around different regions of the island in winter, he began noticing the varied qualities of the snow itself, and finally became fascinated with the unique challenge of photographing snowflakes. <br />
<br />
Obata drew inspiration from the story and works of W.A. Bentley, an American farmer and photographer who adapted a camera and microscope to photograph a single snow crystal for the first time in 1885. Bentley went on to photograph more than 5,000 snowflakes in his lifetime, and his technique was so successful that it continues to be used today. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like Bentley, Obata was obsessed with the challenge of doing something no one had done before – in his case photographing snowflakes in freefall rather than on a flat surface without digital or any other manipulation. It took Obata five years to achieve but his breakthrough resulted in the capture of pictures that allow the snowflakes to relate to each other in space and size, creating dynamic compositions and scenes. Obata chose the location to shoot the series, in the mountains of Hokkaidō, based on its history as the place where Dr. Ukichiro Nakaya did research that led to his invention of artificial snow.<br />
<br />
His most recent book <span style="color: #3d85c6;">"Wintertale"</span> gathers his photographs of winter, and has garnered interest around the world for its poetic depiction of a fleeting season. While Obata is reverent to those who inspired him in this project, his photographs stand alone as fresh and original works." </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"I best describe my style as straight documentary without the fluff. I think there are many traditional wedding photographers that follow a script and shot list, I try to view each and every wedding as a personal challenge to interplay character, style and atmosphere. Working in the documentary vein I try to stay unobtrusive and capture moments that reflect the experience of your day. A large part of my style also comes in editing and this is where my documentary experience brings its strength to my editing. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At the end of the day it’s about capturing a special day that will last as memory, and I try to make sure the image stands up to the test of time. The best way that can be achieved is just letting a wedding occur naturally and capturing the spirit of a special day."</span></div>

But who can blame me? Have you seen their wedding section? It is FULL of DIY ideas. And if you are anything like me, you would think to yourself, "I can totally do that." Esty is a great resource for inspiration. If you are not the do-it-yourself kind, or time is of the essence, no problem - You can personalize and order up a masterpiece, straight from the hands of the artisan (plus, shipping is very reasonable).<br />
<br />
<b>These little banners stole my heart today.</b> I am not sure I could make them look THIS good, but Bridget Olsen definitely can.<br />

</div>Tired of colour themes, patterned linens, and boring table settings. Callie V Photography and MN Creatives shot this Lemon and Navy inspired Nautical Wedding. From the invite, table settings, hors d'oeuvres and car, every detail is matched. I especially LOVE the big yellow balloons, the bows on the plates and the framed invite. I don't know about you but these pictures have got me all too excited about 2012's summer weddings, despite the rainy weather today.<br />

The pictures will tell the truth.</p><p id="" class="entry_p" style="margin-top: 18px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 15px; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 22px; ">2) Create a story.

Perfect.Make the most of the wide open fields and long summer days this season by indulging in a sophisticated, chic picnic party. <br />
<br />
I love when friends and family come together to enjoy good food and great company. Whether it is a gathering of the masses or a romantic getaway for two - Let the great outdoors serve as your venue (and decor). Keep things simple and sophisticated with local market goods, delicious and refreshing white wine spritzers, and chill tunes on the iPod.<br />
<br />
With practical storage solutions and a waste-not ethos, (chic) dining outside is a walk in the park.<br />
<br />
1. Sit in Style,<br />
A natural woven mat is comfy to lounge on, durable, and light enough to tote when rolled up and tied with a rope. If you have a spare hand, take along a pillow or two for extra cushioning.<br />
<br />
2. Toss or Reuse, <br />
For food packaging, strike a balance between convenient disposables and eco-friendly reusables. Take-out cartons are great for sides. Compostable cutlery has more heft than plastic without the environmental impact. And checkerboard sandwich wrappers make any old combination feel fresh. <br />
<br />
3. Upgrade to Cloth,<br />
It's worth forgoing paper napkins in favour of pretty cotton ones you can use again and again. Slip them into easy-to-sew pockets, which double as mats -- a surprising, elegant touch. <br />
<br />
4. Keep Things Chill,<br />
Cold soup travels well in a sealed pitcher. Just pour it into cups, wrapped in paper and secured with rubber bands, for spoon-free serving. Here's a trick for keeping it chilled: Freeze ice cubes of soup and add to the pitcher.<br />

I had the pleasure of watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1605783/">Midnight in Paris</a> (Woody Allen’s romantic/comedy film) this past weekend. Now I can’t help but want to be Marion Cotillard (the captivating muse who wooed every 1920s expatriate in the City of Light) and to drink delicious champagne (endlessly).<br />

<br />
INGREDIENTS<br />
½ cup water<br />
½ stick unsalted butter, room temperature<br />
1 tablespoon granulated sugar<br />
Pinch salt<br />
½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour<br />
2 eggs, room temperature<br />
1 pint strawberry ice cream (recommended: Haagen Dazs Five)<br />
½ cup heavy cream<br />
3.5 ounces 70% dark chocolate<br />
<br />
PROCEDURE<br />
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a saucepot over high heat, add the water and butter, sugar and salt. Cover, and bring to a boil.<br />
<br />
Take the pan off the heat, and add in all the flour at once. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until the flour absorbs all the water. Return the pot to low heat, and continue stirring for 30 to 60 seconds, until the dough forms a ball, and pulls away from the sides of the pot.<br />
Turn the dough out into a medium bowl. (Soak that pot now, thank me later!) Add one egg, and stir vigorously with the wooden spoon until it is completely absorbed and the dough is smooth. Repeat with the second egg. The dough will be smooth and sticky.<br />
<br />
Use an ice cream scoop to make 4 equal mounds of dough on a Silpat-lined baking sheet. Dip your finger in water, and pat down any rough edges that might burn in the oven. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F for another 40 minutes, until the profiterole shells are puffed, golden, and crisp. Carefully remove the shells to a rack to cool, and gently puncture the bottom of each puff with a skewer to let any steam escape.<br />
<br />
When the profiteroles are completely cooled, take the ice cream out of the freezer to defrost.<br />
Make the chocolate sauce by whisking together the cream and chocolate over medium-low heat, until thick, shiny, and melted. Use a serrated knife to slice each profiterole in half horizontally, then sandwich the shell around a big scoop of strawberry ice cream. Pour chocolate sauce over the profiteroles, and eat greedily.<br />
<br />
NOTE<br />
If you want to thin out your chocolate sauce, add 1 tablespoon very hot water from the tap.Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07864444303075803017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794625276757106378.post-17287768888573483702011-06-02T17:01:00.000-04:002011-06-02T20:47:08.732-04:00A Red Velvet Affair<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/24546055?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1" width="677" height="381" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/24546055">Elsie & Jeremy | May 15th 2011</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user415881">Goodwin Films</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />
Elsie from <a href="http://www.shopredvelvet.com/">Red Velvet Shop</a> looked beautiful in BHLDN's For Esmé (wedding) dress. I fell hard for the girlish, yet composed nature of Orla Kiely’s tea-stained dress. Rows of bitty daisies and a structured layer of silk netting keep the bell of this skirt (and overall frock) full and fancy-free. See how fetching she looks in her magical wedding video.<br />
<br />
I definitely want pancakes at my wedding!<br />

Today, Tiffany launched a multimedia-rich microsite and iPhone app designed to be the “go-to resource” for romantics everywhere. "<a href="http://www.whatmakeslovetrue.com">What Makes Love True</a>" is a beautiful collection of photos, video and articles that play to the hopeless romantic in each of us. There are heartwarming stories from real-life couples, tales of romantic engagements, and playlists for romantic moments (including Eva Cassidy’s take on "At Last" and a limited number of downloads of a very sweet Joshua Radin song). And if you are not already totally loved up with the site after all those features there is also a short film by Edward Burns featuring couples in New York.<br />
<br />
In the "Tiffany Tips” section, experts give their top 40 pieces of advice for keeping romance alive. They also list perfect places for two in the city, such as the sparkling views from the Rooftop Garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the quiet, columned paths in Fort Tryon Park. The site also highlights a list of romantic films that have been set in the city. My favourite feature - Couples can log on, place a heart-shaped "tack" on an interactive New York City map (<a href="http://www.whatmakeslovetrue.com/love-is-everywhere/">Love is Everywhere</a>), and add their initials. An elegant and interactive feature that enables all visitors to participate in a personal and emotionally resounding way.<br />
<br />
“Tiffany has long been a major presence at engagements and weddings, and now we’ve built that presence online with love stories and a whole world of romantic possibilities,” said Caroline Naggiar, chief marketing officer of Tiffany & Co.<br />
<br />

"True beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows." <br />

Accompanied by toothsome photos and told with chef Gesine Bullock-Prado's laugh-out-loud sense of humour, Sugar Baby is a great accompaniment to a shower gift, hostess gift or a spectacular treat for yourself.<br />
<br />
Baking a cake or a batch of cookies is not an activity that I find particularly intimidating. However, making candies from scratch seemed terrifying and outside the reach of this home cook's skill set. Enter, Sugar Baby -- a cookbook dedicated to delicious sugary treats, filled with recipes that make them accessible even to cooks who have never tried making candy at home – and just might leave you with a big sweet tooth after reading it.<br />
<br />
The book is just as cheerful as the candies that grace its pages. You may not find yourself quitting your day job to open a candy store with this as your only reference, but it is a safe bet that you are going to add some delicious and surprisingly easy to make sweet treats to your repertoire.<br />
<br />

Not only are they experimenting with color in their wedding parties and reception halls, but some are even daring to NOT wear white themselves. I think it's pretty extraordinary! Here are some pictures from an autumn wedding where the bride chose go against the grain and wear pomegranate raw silk.<br />

With warm weather creeping up and fun summer events kicking off, we wanted to share these bright, bold designs courtesy of <a href="http://www.pepperdesignblog.com/">Pepper Design Blog.</a> Find inspiration in the rich and colourful shades of summer. This light-hearted and fun palette is suitable for any summer gathering. Whether you are planning an upcoming event, baby shower, wedding shower, rehearsal dinner or a simple family barbeque - Be sure to celebrate summer with the the ones you love and embrace fun colours and patterns.<br />
<br />
PDB's suggestions:<br />
DECOR - "I love the look of these simple teal vintage vases featured on Style Me Pretty {you’re sure to find a thrift store similar look, even in a clear or white variety} filled with single bunches of tulips and roses. The yellow poms are perfect as well! These raffia drink stirrers by Martha are the perfect addition to a signature pink grapefruit cocktail. While Lollipop Events & Designs has nailed an ideal pattern for chair covers (it fits each of our colors!) I would be equally happy tying in a similar remnant strip as a table runner. I love Amy Butler’s coreopsis pattern as another option."<br />

These four simple words have withstood the passage of time. But while the phrasing never goes out of date, the presentation of marriage proposals has dramatically changed. <br />
<br />
The first question people ask when they hear about an engagement is, "How did you (he) propose?"<br />
<br />
There is no excuse for an ordinary, unromantic proposal. 80 percent of women said they were disappointed in how they were proposed to (due to lack of creativity and thoughtfulness). <br />
<br />
WHAT EVERY MAN NEEDS TO KNOW (about the perfect proposal):<br />
Bigger is not always better. With that said, creating a personal and thoughtful effort towards her dream proposal will speak for itself when you watch her share the story from when she said "yes!"<br />
<br />
- Great engagements do not need to be expensive - just creative.<br />
- If you are not certain what type of ring to get her, go with a placeholder ring.<br />
- Your engagement should reflect you as a couple and your unique relationship. <br />
- Incorporate what she likes. Brainstorm to find out things she loves, the things that make her happy or that she has always wanted to do.<br />
- Think about the small details. Details are what make an amazingly personalized proposal.<br />
- Document it -- smartphones, flipcams, whatever it takes. You will be glad you did and so will she.<br />
<br />
