Online Wedding Magazine: Utterly Engaged

This fairytale-like table setting is from the first issue of Utterly Engaged, the first online wedding magazine for bride-to-be's who are looking for their dream wedding inspirations that won't break the budget.  Utterly Engaged is a beautiful collaboration between three friends: Eva Chiou of Red Velvet Occasions, and Lucia Dinh and Henny Setiadi of D*LSH Design.

I love the mix & match of violets and greens in this inspiration.  My favorite elements are: the flowers- dried hydrangeas, baby breaths and lilacs, the frames hanging by the tree, the sturdy bench, flowers in jars and metal table number.

Custom Design Your Own Quilt Online

Through their online designer tool, you can choose from a variety of layouts, choose your own set of fabric and the swatches.  Their quilts are handcrafted using 100% cotton overfilled with 250g of cotton. Notice the All Natural Cotton Inc. Logo on the website? Quiltcreator is one of the few companies allowed by Cotton Inc. to carry their official logo.

I tried my hands on designing an infant quilt using the "Flower Garden" layout and fabric patterns from the "Endless Summer" theme.  For the reverse side of my quilt, I've chosen one of the pink floral embroidery.  You can also add a three-letter monogram if you like. Here is my final quilt design:
