The Florentine Orphan

This blog is dedicated to all things that I love, Italy, photography, family, and all things pretty. After spending a semester in Florence, I feel like I was meant to live there....but I don't...hence the name of my blog.

Black & white and lovely all over

Before I get started on the real purpose of this post, I just wanted to share this photo I saw on theknot.com. I better get some sort of "in the car" photo on my day...I just love them.



Ok so what is black and white and lovely all over....DAMASK! It is my new obsession. I never knew what it was called until I started wedding planning. It will be the background of my wedding invitations (in red with light blue touches). I wish I could show a picture but I only have it in a PDF. Instead, below are some other things I love in a damask pattern.


These are plates I own from Target. I have them on display on our apartment in our built-in wall cabinet.
Ok, I know this centerpiece has nothing to do with Damask but I thought it was so pretty. My own centerpieces will be in a similar pedastal vase. (photo from marthastewartweddings.com) This very cool frame is magnetic. I bought it from Etsy (etsy.com) by BirdUncaged. It is $20.



Below are 2 invitations that I love from Mygatsby.com. I showed these images to the woman who is making my invitations for inspiration.
