2009 Wedding Wire
Bride's Choice Award
We just finished an amazing project! We were so ecstatic when we got the opportunity to redesign 3 blogs for 1 rad gal, Summer Watkins. This is girl is going to blow up - check it out, GreyLikesWedding, GreyLikesNesting, and GreyLikesBaby!!! Weeee! It was project full of creativity, challenges, inspiration and love. We'll have to tell you more later. In the meantime mosey on over to check out her blog and give her some blog cheers!
Did you miss us? I know we've missed you! I apologize we've been quiet over here. In the last year, our little-now-big magazine, UtterlyEngaged, took a lot of our blogging attention away from this one. But we promise from now on we will blog more because we have so much coming up in the D*LSH Design studio. We are just bursting with excitement and can't wait to share with you. The news is so good it deserves it's own blog post. While you wait for the news, let's celebrate our comeback today with a few projects that we've been working on and just finished in the last month. Happy Tuesday to you!

Our most recent project is with Summer Watkins. A very dear friend of ours who has the most amazing style and taste. D*Lsh Design and Summer’s logo designer, Lindsay of M. Stetson Design teamed up to create a pretty rockin’ brand and website for her, SummerWatkins.com. In the next month we're going to be launching her blogs, Grey Likes Weddings, Grey Likes Nesting and Grey Likes Baby. Be sure to be on the lookout for that! In the meantime, if you're looking for a prop, tablescape, wardrobe, set, and off-model stylist for your photo shoot contact her at style@summerwatkins.com. Book her before she fills up!
Our next little baby is Katie Frederick of Ever After Honeymoons! Katie has the inside scoop on traveling and she is the go to gal for you dream vacation. She's not your normal travel agent, because she goes beyond and designs your vacation days tailored just for you! When I slow down a little bit and plan my honeymoon, she is the first person I'm going to contact! If your curious about what she's planned so far check her new blog we designed for her and/or read her column, Ask Katie, for UtterlyEngaged. We were so ecstatic that we got the opportunity to redesign her blog and site. Email her at katie@everafterhoneymoons.com and plan your dream vacation now!
Lastly, one of our favorite projects that we designed recently was for Christine Wright of Simply Modern Weddings. She wanted something that was fresh, chic and simple of course and we nailed it with this one. Her logo is my favorite because we were able to turn it into a pattern. And can you see the " S M W " in the logo? Ack! It was the highlight of my design days when we discover such a cool logo. And her business card, can I get a squeal, I can't help but love it! In the next few months we're designing some more of her collateral that we are super excited about! Christina, is an amazing, on top of it, and creative planner. And she makes it so much fun too. If you're looking for a wedding / event planner that you can trust, she's that person. Contact her at hello@simplymodernweddings.com because she's definitely all that and more.
Phew that was a mouth full! We love what we do. If you are ever in need of a re-brand four your identity, and/or website we would love to be that team to bring your business dream to life. Contact us at info@dlshdesign.com any time. We are here for you!

We thought of some fun ways to celebrate the earth and do our little part to preserve it.
.......................................................................................................................................
IDEA #1: Lights Out StorytimeTurn off all your lights! Grab your friends (or hubby), a blanket and flashlight, and tell ghost stories all night.
.......................................................................................................................................
IDEA #2: Get crafty with recyclingMake pretty things out of ordinary water bottles, like this bike wreath from The City Cradle.
.......................................................................................................................................
IDEA #3: Green Gift Giving
Use a pretty kitchen towel to wrap your gifts, or get one of these from Tiger & Hare.
.......................................................................................................................................
OTHER FUN IDEAS:
- Carpool with your friends (to work / class / party).
- Plant a strawberry tree in your backyard, in time for summer.
- Turn off all the electronics in your home and enjoy the silence and maybe some cricket sound.
- Shower with your hubby to save water ; )

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
I know we haven't posted for a while, but trust me, something good is brewing. DL/sh is going through a rebrand and you won't be disappointed : )
Anyhoo, we just want to wish you a Happy Friday and leave you with this happy illustration by Ben Javens.
For any last minute holiday shoppers out there, come join us and Bonnie Tsang Photography, for a little shopping and food. Two of our favorite things to do. After shopping at the awesome flea market in Long Beach, we'll head out to Heartwell Park for a tailgate breakfast / brunch. We would love to see you there. Please rsvp to bonnie.photo.is@gmail.com
We are very excited about our newest custom wedding invites for the uber talented photographer Brandon Kidd and his beautiful fiancé Kristin. Congratulations, you two! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!

I've been following PPF photography by Stanley Allen on Facebook for quite a while now, and I just find it so refreshing to see someone with such amazing eye for photography all the way from Indonesia, where I was from. So since it's Friday, I want to share some of his beautiful work that I find inspiring. Enjoy!
