My Inspiration

The inspiration for our wedding is coming mostly from the winery where we got engaged, BR Cohn Winery. They aren't only a winery, but they also make Olive Oil. Most of their bottles, wine and olive oil, have this neat design of olive branches on them. (Some have album covers of the Doobie Brothers!)

There are also obviously Olive Trees all over the winery. I captured a pic of some of the branches on the day M proposed! So pretty!

Now, I don't really have any artistic ability whatsoever. I am creative and crafty, but not artistic! The proof is below! I sent my friend Chris the label from BR Cohn, the branches from above, and a couple other olive branch pics that I found online. I drew him some ideas about what I thought I was looking for. Ok, the evidence.

Chris sent back the following . . . isn't he wonderful?? And somehow he intrepreted my drawings . . . he really is amazing.

My favorite is this last one. I think I am going to get a custom stamp made and use it on invitations, plus in a few other places. Maybe stamps or table decor . . . I will figure it out.
