Wedding Buzz The Spotlight Series
Spotlight On: Brad of Shaking Hands Productions
We are thrilled about this Spotlight - our very first on a wedding cinematographer in Charlottesville - and so happy to introduce Brad of Shaking Hands Productions to any bride around here who hasn't yet had the pleasure of meeting him! We so, so, so recommend our brides to consider securing a cinematographer for their weddings, because it isn't just the images of the day you will want to remember forever, it's the soundbites too: your vows, the words of the officiant, the speeches from your father, best friend, and best man... And I also just have this scenario in my head of, one day in the future, one of those inevitable arguments you'll find yourself in with your partner, and the magic that popping in that film and revisiting that day will do for you both; those promises, that love, those things you said and really, truly meant, but that maybe got a bit neglected amidst your children, the mortgage, two full-time jobs, and who knows what else. So yeah, get a wedding film! And check out the ones I've included here from Shaking Hands Productions! Read More

Spotlight On: Charlottesville Wedding Photographer Will Kerner
We love Charlottesville wedding photographer Will Kerner over here at Borrowed & Blue. For one thing, he was the wedding photographer for Christin & Adam, the founders of Borrowed & Blue, and he's also just happens to be one of the friendliest & most welcoming people you can find while you roam our quaint little Downtown Mall. We thought we'd get to know him a little better & introduce him to our brides-to-be who may not have heard of him yet. Enjoy! xo, Maribeth Read More
Spotlight On: Elizabeth of Bespoke Proposals
We have been absolutely smitten to get to know Elizabeth Carter, the incredible woman & the brains behind Bespoke Proposals. Bespoke Proposals launched in 2012 to assist some very special men from all over the country pull off to perfection the moment every girl has dreamed of since she was little: the day the man she loves asks her to marry him. We've all seen the movies - & maybe some of us in real life - how very nervous a man can be while planning, & especially executing, this moment. But with help from Elizabeth, he can be rest assured that not a thing will go awry, that his bride-to-be is in for the thrill of her life, and that she will have a story she'll love to tell for the rest of her life. We caught up with Elizabeth to learn a little more about how she got her start in the wedding biz, how Bespoke Proposals came to be, & what her process is to make sure everything is just perfect. Enjoy! xo, Maribeth Read More
Spotlight On: Lindsay of Wined & Designed
We were extremely excited when Lindsay Amerault of Wined & Designed contacted us to let us know about her business & her upcoming trunk shows. We knew right away that this designer was a match made in heaven for our Borrowed & Blue brides & that we just had to Spotlight her! Lindsay is currently living in Bermuda with the love of her life but is traveling around the country to host intimate trunk shows & share her gorgeous work with brides planning their weddings. We're pleased to share some of her work with you today & to get to know this wonderful woman a little bit better. Thanks so much for allowing us to Spotlight you, Lindsay!! Read More
Spotlight On: Charlottesville Photographer Andrea Hubbell
Charlottesville photographer Andrea Hubbell has a background in architecture, giving her a unique perspective behind the camera. Her first baby, Bella Eats, was launched in 2008, followed by her company, Andrea Hubbell Photography, in 2010. Andrea's most recent passion project is Beyond the Flavor, which she co-created in March of 2012 with Sarah Cramer Shields. The two women believe that there is more to a meal than the ingredients used to prepare it, and are reaching beyond the flavor to tell the stories of unique people who help to create the food culture of a place. Andrea's work has been published in The Local Palate, Edible Blue Ridge, CVille Weekly, ABODE, Inspired Magazine, Flavor Magazine, and Inform Magazine. Read More
Spotlight On: Anne Kibler, Charlottesville Makeup Artist
Getting the chance to meet Charlottesville Makeup Artist Anne Kibler at the Borrowed & Blue offices a few weeks ago was a total blast. She is such a sweetheart, so full of life, and really, really, knows her stuff. Since bridal makeup is a whole 'nother animal when it comes to the makeup industry, I was dying to hear what Anne had to say about why she loves it, why it's so important for a bride, and how to know you've chosen the right bridal makeup artist. Interspersed throughout this piece are images from The Pinwheel Collective's recent styled shoot where Anne volunteered her services. Enjoy! Read More
