No matter the time of year or situation. It’s important to put the work into your relationship. It could mean something as simple as grabbing your partner’s favorite desert on the way home. Flower’s just because, remembering their friend’s birthdays or making a special night together. It’s the little things that make love lasting. At least in my book!
The ladies of Love Wed Collective and I got together in the hopes to draw some inspiration for your next date night in. The challenge was bringing together items found only in our own homes and putting each of our individual talents to work. If you know me you know I` have a craft closet composed of odds and ends. Some items and not limited to are fabric, dye, paint and things I definitely don’t need anymore. But maybe I will next year. You feel me?
I sent an inspiration board along to the girls and we independently brought the elements together. The great thing with working with vendors you know and trust is that you can give them an idea and know that they will make their magical spin on it.
The fabric was from an old backdrop I made probably a few years ago and I absolutely love painting and dying so I pulled out everything I had on hand and went to work. I started with wrapping the fabric and dying it in a deep purple. The fabric was grey so the purple didn’t pop as much as it would in white. Which I was happy about. The next day I hand painted with acrylic and water colors. I can’t wait to use this runner for years to come.
Christa our in house florist brought together glass bottles she had, candles and dried flowers for her addition. Dried flowers are a sustainable item you can use over and over again. We dig that!
Alane our in house calligrapher is a modern calligraphy genius. She used elements of dip dye and metallics as a node to the artistry brush we wanted to incorporate.
Devin our in house photographer shared a lovely evening together after a long day of work with her husband. Wine, catching up and spending time in together one on one is so important for all us.
So what’s your favorite date night in? My husband and I dedicate one night or day during the week. We pick movies we want to watch together, food we are excited about to order or make. Recently I gave in to his love of board games and maybe they’re not so bad. Happy Friday lovers!
