Sunny Days

How are you feeling about yellow these days? I’ve been seeing it displayed in gorgeous ways, both on its own and paired with gray, black, and white.

Then there’s the Morton Salt Girl blue and yellow pairing, featured in the awesome photo shoot by Two Birds Photography on Style Unveiled, and the ombre cake and other cool yellow accents on Style Me Pretty.

Even if you love yellow, you don’t have to commit to forever. You can choose yellow vintage umbrellas for your party or photo shoot, then work a completely different look next time.

Our Umbrellas in Action

This week I want to share some beautiful images of our umbrellas being used in a few different weddings and photo shoots.

A Trip to Paris, Altitude Design Summit Style

Earlier this year, I had the chance to attend the Altitude Design Summit in Salt Lake City. If you’re not familiar with “Alt Summit,” Estelle Hayes wrote a great piece about the event on The Huffington Post. The Alt website does a good job of summing up the annual conference:

“If you’re obsessed with lifestyle, food and fashion blogs, fantastic images, smart ideas and great design inside and outside — all wrapped up with a social media bow — Altitude Design Summit is the place to be. Because we feed those obsessions.” 

I learned a lot at this conference, met new friends, and attended some fantastic events, like the Girls With Glasses Paris-themed party. At this point, I hadn’t yet met Jodell or started working with Bella Umbrella, but I remember loving the black and white umbrellas that were used at the Girls With Glasses Party. Later I found out that they were the Bella Pagoda umbrellas that Jodell designed!

Also key at this party were the delicious macarons by Mercedes White, lovely notebooks and other cool products from Pinhole Press, and a fun photobooth featuring photographer Carolee Beckham.

If you decide to go to Alt Summit next year, you can still have a little bit of Paris. The Grand America has a lovely patisserie, La Bonne Vie, with delicious macarons.

You’ll almost forget that you missed the party last year.
