Love Bots Cake Topper

So I just had coffee and was checking my mail on a Monday morning. And I found this.

They’re just total cuteness, and I don’t even use those words! LOL. I mean, robots getting married? There’s gotta be hope for mankind. Anyway, these Kokeshi–inspired love bots (US$40) were made by licoricewits, a Canada-based Etsy seller. They’re 2.5 inches tall, and their heads come as separate pieces (now that explains it, headless creatures. Kidding!). Use them as your cake topper or just something to make you smile when the sky is so blue, and you have to go to work.

P.S. The gratitude posts will resume shortly. 8 )

Logos with love from Fozzy

Ooh I’m so excited about this post because it’ll give me bragging rights. 8P

The highly creative girl I “met” on w@w last year — and whose engagement session was the first I featured on moonsnjunes — has finally officially started creating. What, you ask? LOGOS, or in a more wedding-appropriate term — MONOGRAMS! 8D

What is a monogram?

You get the drift.

Anyway, Fozzy (a.k.a. dezphaire) launched Logoswithlove this June. For the record, she’s done a ton of monograms pro bono for w@wies last year; the ones featured above are some of her work.

From Fozzy:

I got into the business because of my own wedding preps. I was designing our monogram (which turns out to be a non-monogram) and was dabbling into Adobe Illustrator.  I’ve always been fond of typography and graphic illustration and thought this was just the perfect marriage (okay, pun intended) for those two.

Like my teacher asked me in college re my mid-term paper: What is the point of all this (monogramming)? Simple: personalization. A monogram is like a stamp that binds the wedding elements together. From the monogram maker:

I will take ANYTHING as a source of inspiration. Bride-to-be’s have sent me their gown sketches, entourage pegs, and some have downloaded mood boards or movie posters.  If they don’t have a theme in mind, some just give me a run-down of what they don’t like, which still helps me put together in my head a picture of who they are.

Now for the “bragging” part: This is who we are in Fozzy’s logo world.

Isn’t this just… perfect? We used this as a design element in our giveaways (canvas totes and drawstrings) and as souvenir tags.

Now because the hubby and I absolutely loved our wedding monogram, I’ve asked Fozzy to do the moonsnjunes logo! I mean, after a year, I think my blog deserves a dainty little gift from me no? And you can’t get any more dainty than Logoswithlove.

Who wants something like this?

Well, WHO DOESN’T??!

Find out where, how, who. Soon.
