It's time to (Re) Launch ~ Brand New Website

We're thrilled to announce our
NEW WEBSITE

www.tinrooffarmhouse.com


This blog will still remain intact…
It will be a place to share projects we're working on at
The Farmhouse, wedding trends, interior design &
who knows what else…

The new website allows us to share our
VINTAGE RENTAL collection
more thoroughly & captures the style of
Tin Roof Farmhouse
perfectly!

I personally created the website myself
with all my own iPhone images. This was definitely
a labor of love & I'm thrilled that I'm finally able
to share it with all of you. Please check the new site out
& let us know what you think.

Five Faves for Friday…Real Weddings

Real Weddings ~ Inspiration

So many great sites with such gorgeous weddings…
Five of our favorites from this past week.

So much inspiration…

1. Green Wedding Shoes

How cute are these gals in their retro bridesmaids dresses?


And that gorgeous tulle gown!!


I love the simple centerpieces with
blue mason jars & milk bud vases. Oh & those mint chiavari chairs with the farm tables ~ I'm in love!

See the whole story at Green Wedding Shoes

2. Rustic Wedding Chic

So many inspiring ideas for your country barn wedding!
Check out the backdrop made with vintage doors & some shutters ~ we'd love to create something like this for your
special day with some of our cool old doors & shutters.


And we love the chicken wire frames for the escort cards.
I'm working on some of these for summer weddings. Let us know
if you have a particular color scheme
you're looking for because we can customize them.


Find it all at Rustic Wedding Chic

3. Style Me Pretty

This gorgeous wedding has so many swoon-worthy
details…To start with, how amazing is this airstream!?!
We're on the hunt for one to add to our VINTAGE RENTAL collection. Until then, we'll just have to
lust over this one.


Oh & what about this stunning bouquet on the fabulous rustic metal chair? Definitely swooning!



Style Me Pretty has all the details of this beautiful day.

4. Bridal Musings

Super cute camp-style wedding with tons of DIY details.
Like this simple branch backdrop.


We'd be happy to help out with Celebration Bunting Flags, Crafty Backdrops, Fun Signs or any other VINTAGE RENTALS.


Just let us know what ideas you've dreamt up &
we'll help make them happen.

Find more sweet images & ideas at Bridal Musings

5. Ruffled

Although I'm not generally a big fan of lavender
(the color or the scent), this wedding is absolutely gorgeous.
I just love the sweet bistro chairs. Oh how I wish we had
all of these in our collection!


And the simple, but sweet tabletop displays with stacked
vintage books & succulents in teacups. Love it!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Love/Make Wedding Fair

I'm so thrilled that the gals from Locally Grown Weddings remembered meeting me last year at the Flax Handcrafted Wedding & Event Fair (see my post about it here) when they ended up in a bigger booth than they expected at last weekends Love/Make Wedding Fair & realized they needed some of my vintage goodness to fill it up. Fill it up I did!


I loaded the little wagon up & headed down to the
Terra Gallery in SF last Sunday
& I couldn't have enjoyed it more.
The booth turned out just gorgeous! Don't you think?

Even better I was able to hang out with Sadie from
One Big Fish Events & Jenna from Jenna Beth Photography who make up the Locally Grown Weddings Collective (along with Angella from Angella Floral Arts). They were a joy to collaborate with & I hope to work together again in the future.

Find some even better pics of our booth taken by Jenna
on her blog. 

It was fabulous to chat with brides-to-be & other like-minded vendors. There were a bunch of cool vendors that I'd love to work with in the future in some way…

Five Faves for Friday…Props for an Engagement Photo Shoot

Did you just get engaged?
Maybe over the holidays
or Valentine's Day…
If so & you're planning an engagement shoot
there's more to think about than just a photographer.
What do you want the images to reflect? Do you want to keep
them simple or do you want to tell a story?
Props can help you tell your unique story. Just make sure it
is personal & authentic. They should capture
a special moment in time, but also be timeless.

Here are a few items that you might want to incorporate
into your session. And find more on our Pinterest board "engagement shoot inspiration".

1. Suitcases & Trunks

this perfectly chippy trunk makes the image
so much more adorable…don't ya think?

The only prop used was this plaid blanket
& the shoot turned out super sweet

similar but with a fabulous quilt ~ love!

5. Signage

a simple message using Scrabble letters
"FOREVER"




I LOVE the sign
& the fabulous victorian settee placed in an orchard




And definitely take advantage of this photoshoot to get your save-the-date image to send out to guests…
Look at this cute idea with the chalkboard tin cans on the bike.


Wedding Chicks

But, most important stay true to yourself & share your love
for each other. This is a precious moment in time
that will be captured forever. Writing this post makes me want to schedule an "engagement photo shoot" for our 3rd anniversary since we never had one done. We'll see!

If you're in Northern California looking for vintage prop rentals, check out our rental page & our Instagram page for all of the newest additions! We're adding items daily.

What are you going to incorporate into your photo shoot?
