Depois de uns dias off line devido ao jet lag hoje estamos de volta com alguns guest posts! Dado que o Dia de São Valentim é já amanhã, pedimos à nossa querida amiga, Lauren que nos nos ajudasse com umas ideias para celebrar esta data especial! Ainda não estamos a 100% aqui na Nova Zelândia e esperamos que o acesso à internet seja, a partir de amanhã, a 100%. Para já deixamo-vos com o génio criativo da Lauren ;)

After a few days off line, not only because of the jet leg but also because we don't have a full acess to the internet, today we are happy to announce a gorgeous guest post of one of our friends, Lauren. With her creative genius, Lauren was kind enough to give us amazing ideas for the up coming celebration of Valentine's Day ;)

Hi Brancoprata readers!  I am Lauren from Lauren Elise Crafted and today I am happy to be guest blogging here on one of my favorite wedding blogs!  I was so excited to hear that Sofia and André were headed to New Zealand but equally as thrilled when Sofia asked me to do a guest post.  Despite wanting to pack myself into Sofia and André’s luggage and jet off to NZ myself, I decided to stay home and craft up this Valentine’s inspirational shoot instead.

For this project, I focused on the things that really matter at Valentine’s (other than the candy), our loved ones and the reasons why they are so special to us.  I defined the word love using nine key words and then represented those words and their meaning in small, material objects.  Obviously love is not material but this Valentine’s advent is intended to make the recipient feel extra special by highlighting the main reasons why they are loved!

It has been such a thrill guest posting here today and getting to share these pictures with you.  Thank you so much Sofia and André for having me on your beautiful blog.  Have fun in NZ!

Thank you my dear Lauren!!! What an inspiring and beautiful post!!!

A huge xo all the way from Kiwi land ;)

Tal como prometido no dia 12 de Fevereiro, aqui ficam duas imagens das caixas que fizemos para comemorar o dia de São Valentim.

O resultado final deixou-nos muito satisfeitos, até porque acaba por ser um trabalho diferente daquilo que habitualmente fazemos, mas não deixa de ser interessante!!

Em termos criativos não exige o mesmo tempo e dedicação que uma linha gráfica para um casamento... mas agrada-nos a ideia de colocar o nosso cunho pessoal numa coisa tão simples como uma caixa de bombons.
