Makeover – In the works
Hey everyone!!! So its official… Blushink is my company. I registered it and all Its lots and lots of paper work and I must admit I don’t understand half of it, but nonetheless, Blushink is a company… HOORAY!!! I’ve been working on the website/blog redesign (hence the reason for my lack of posting).
My twitter friend (@sourapplemedia) Ty Dennis from www.sourapplemedia.com will help me out with the coding part of my website/blog. I am really excited to work with him, and were gonna rock the new design, I promise.
Now for those of you who are considering a makeover – I would strongly suggest creating a mood board to give your web/coding peeps an idea of what you envision. To help me out in the process, Ty suggested a great video tutorial explaining creating an effective mood board. Check out the video (click here) … for tips and suggestions.

{Goodies} Playful Shades
Spring has to be my favorite season of all… the flowers, the sun, the birds plus love is in the air. Now I know Im a little early talking about spring and all… but with the whole spring forward, I am more and more excited and thought some spring goodies would be nice!
Thanks to the Wedding Style Guide you can find neat ideas and great downloads for easy yet beautiful DIY projects.
Images and goodies courtesy of : Wedding Style Guide
Spring’s playful shades come together to grace the table with a look that is filled with femininity. Paper flowers in an eclectic style, where pages from a vintage book are contrasted with contemporary patterned papers–use them to adorn guest’s chairs as an added detail.
Now since spring is all about fresh colors & flowers… the people over at Wedding Style Guide shared their recipe for a refreshing spring cocktail drink : Grasshopper
Pour 25ml of white créme de menthe, 12ml of green créme de menthe and 25ml of pouring cream over ice. Shake until well mixed and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a fresh peppermint leaf and enjoy.
Plus, you can download a easy to use template to recreate beautiful paper flowers and let your wedding bloom for a lifetime. To download the template

Introduction Blush!nk
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend (even though we slept one hour less) That extra hour of light definitely makes up for it. This weekend has been exciting for me… and I wanted to tell you all about it! I’ve mentioned before – I decided to launch my own company called BLUSH!NK. Well, I designed my new logo and am extremely excited about it and wanted to share it with you of course!. Its the perfect combination of retro, mod, and glam without being too trendy.
BLUSH!NK is a fusion of Inspiration, Style and Design. Since I am a graphic designer, I will do my best to combine my skills and offer several services:
- Inspiration: Blog portion ; daily inspiration from weddings, fashion & design +++
- Style : Fashion portion ; Jewelry and accessory design +++
- Design : Design portion ; Logo/Identity design, Invitation design + + +
I think it represents me rather well and even though it is still girly, I can detach myself from the icon and use the name only (for more corporate reasons) So without further ado…here it is:
I love having a little hint of wittiness in logo designs and having my retro gal have blushing cheeks was exactly what I needed. Get it? If you say blushink fast, is sounds like blushing. Plus the sketchiness of the illustration also demonstrates my design background. Plus I will tag my designs with “im blushink” with the girl illustration… cute idea don’t you find???
Plus, I went all out and glammed up my twitter page to fit the new identity (icon, twitter name and background)…
First Twitter Page Design:
its all about having a close-knit design so that people remember you through your identity. As you know the blog will have major modifications (in the works) and will have a new home all together… but until I am ready to make the big step… for the time being I have made some visual tweeks to the blog. (Font, background, banner, size of images) I hope you don’t mind!
So what do you think? I would love to know what you think!

Wedding Flick alert
I don’t know about you, but I am a fan of wedding related movies. Actually, I have to admit that I’m a girly girl and love all chick flicks. Even though I haven’t seen Bride Wars (don’t worry, it’s on my to-do list), I can never get enough of wedding movies. I saw the trailer for the movie ’The Proposal’, and it looks hilarious. (I am a big fan of Ryan Reynolds – hotness alert!)
I loved ’27 Dresses’ and am certain this one will be as good. If you’re wondering what the connection between the two movies is, it’s the director, Anne Fletcher.
So, what’s the story about? Canadian immigrant Sandra Bullock is on the verge of getting deported, and needs to find a way to keep her job. Her solution is to marry her assistant (Ryan Reynolds).
The movie comes out June 12th of this year. I have a feeling my hubby and I will celebrate our one-year anniversary watching a chick/wedding flick. Now that’s how you celebrate!
What’s your favorite wedding flick of all time?
