So happy to share with you a taste of "A Lovely Workshop", Elizabeth Messina's workshop for wedding photographers at the beautiful Kenwood Inn & Spa in Sonoma ...

Signature Details: Rosemary Garden Markers



My friend Viola from Chewing the Cud called this to my attention.... they were featured on Design Sponge yesterday. So clever and very cute. You can buy them on Etsy at this shop.

I guess you can probably imagine why I would love these... I am always on the lookout for cute little pieces with my signature... Of course I'm fortunate to have a name like Rosemary in a profession such as planning weddings... and these little rustic details really speak to my style.

Adding signature details to your wedding is a must for creating a cohesive and well-thought out event that exudes your personality and style. What do you love and what details are you using to sign your name on your event?
