Happy Friday, friends! By now, you’ve probably seen all the beautiful images from the Illume Retreat styled shoot I coordinated and styled last February in honor of our website launch, but you may not know about all the wonderful vendors that contributed to this labor of love. So, as a bit of a deviation from our traditional #bisforbonnieloves content, let me introduce y’all week-by-week to the talented creatives who contributed signage, props and all sorts of goodness for this shoot!

To kick things off, meet Paper Birch Designs, the incredible vendor responsible for our custom laser engraved signage! Lacy, the creative genius behind Paper Birch Designs, took our beautiful handlettered logo and turned it into this sweet foil engraved print I have hanging in my office. These images don’t capture the depth and intricacy of this laser engraved piece!

Although she specializes in wedding invitations and signage, Lacy happily takes on custom projects of all sorts. She’s been a sponsor for workshops like The School of Styling, and it was such a joy to have her as part of the team for this shoot.

In addition to creating that sweet foil print, she also created this delicate wooden sign with the mantra, “live authentically.” Painted in gorgeous rose gold, this piece added a touch of femininity to our industrial shoot location. I absolutely cannot wait for us to settle into our new home so I can proudly hang this beauty for all to see!

Not only is Lacy a talented artist, but she’s also one of the sweetest people you’ll meet. On the morning of our shoot, she went out of her way to meet me along the highway as I drove to the shoot location so she could pass along these signage pieces! She brings an almost unlimited sense of creativity to the table with every project she takes on, and her level of dedication to her clients is unparalleled.

Thank you for all you did to make this shoot such a success, Lacy! Be sure to visit her website for more of her work, or follower her on Instagram to keep up with current creative projects.
