Styled Wedding Shoot - Be Our Guest

There is definitely a ton of anticipation building around the release of the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast. It's not hard to be apart of the hype. I include myself in the bubble of fans that are waiting for their childhood memories come to life on the big screen. Although it won't be exactly like the original animated feature (which as a fan I am mentally preparing for lol), it has still been fun to see Disney remake some of our nostalgic favorites.

It's no secret that I'm a huge Disney fan. So much so that it was almost like a match made in Heaven when I was asked to partake in a styled shoot based on the upcoming version of this classic tale. Although the shoot was unfortunately canceled, Clare from Clare Murray Photography was kind enough to take some shots of the work we and Lilly at The Starfish Cottage created for the shoot. 

So in the words of Lumiere, 'it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure" that I welcome you to Be Our Guest as I proudly present the photos.

Following the advice of the enchanted objects, I asked about the grey stuff. This, of course, was their reply.

Our invitation suite not only gives the rich, story book feeling, but keeps an artful eye with our own depiction of Beast's Castle. A MAJOR shoutout is in order for Yasmin from Maison Francis Design Co. for translating and giving us the invitation text in French.

Because who could forget the ending to the prologue...

The details on this gorgeous cake by Lilly at The Starfish Castle are to die for.

Real Wedding: Jaclyn and Kyle

Jaclyn contacted me after seeing our shop on Etsy and falling in love with one of our invitations. As we discussed the theme further, I knew we would work great together. It always helps when great minds think alike. ;) 

Jaclyn and Kyle were having an Aladdin Themed wedding with Mint and Lavender as their wedding colors. The invitation suite design they chose was simple and showcased Genie's lamp as the only imagery from the film.

We used a basic, white card stock to capture the pastel wedding colors chosen by the couple. 

Curious to see how their big day turned out? Check out some of the images taken by Hollie Marie Photography of Jaclyn and Kyle's special day.

Princess Crowns and All

Who said you had to be under the age of 10 to wear your princess crown in public?

​To any of those who know me personally, one thing is quite clear.

​I AM A HUGE DISNEY FAN (almost a little obsessed some would say).

​I can truly say that watching Disney films and shorts as a child really nurtured my artistic abilities today. The careful care and unique vision casted, really, throughout the entire genre or company aspects that The Walt Disney Company has created inspires me. Most of us know that the foundation of this one of a kind company started with one man's ambition to make cartoons and slowly turned into the job of making individual dreams come true. 

A few weeks ago, I was invited by my dear friend, Paola, who had an itch to go see this season's performance of Disney on Ice which had all the Disney Princesses in it. We wore our princess crowns and enjoyed ourselves. Starting today, Disney will be celebrating their Second Annual National Princess Week.  

​What does this have to do with Only One Mark, Inc, you ask? Well, it just so happens that we offer small wall pieces that contain an icon inspired by each Disney Princess. Below are these special wall pieces.

​​Snow​​​ White's Apple

​Cinderella's Glass Slipper

​Ariel's Dinglehopper

​Rapunzel's Sunburst

The Start of a Beautiful Wedding: Alysha

​A lovely start to a magical event.

​There are many Brides who celebrate their new chapter in life by infusing a theme around their Wedding. Whatever they choose is part of the experience that they are trying create in order to make their big day that much more memorable. 

Save the Dates are where it all began for Alysha. Alysha came across our site online and had been looking for a specific look for her upcoming nuptials. I should say that she was really looking for a specific way to compliment her theme. Her theme is inspired by the Disney animated film, Aladdin​. 

​As exciting as it is to develop ideas/items for all types of occasions, this Save the Date was truly special to bring to life. Keep a look out for more shining, shimmering, splendid details as we continue to create a whole new world of items for Alysha and other featured Brides that are planning the biggest day of their lives.
