So here we are, the Slow Dance Journal —

And you’re probably wondering what you can expect from this space, right? Simply put — this is where the magic happens.

Current inspirations, musings and wanderings, a peek behind the curtains of Slow Dance Studio (and life, because it’s all kind of intertwined at this point). We’ll share some peeks at what we’re working on, what we’re loving and who we’re crushing on (but not like, in a creepy way). There will definitely be some teaching moments, a look at our creative process (yes, the messy side too), and some real talk around what running a creative business really looks like. Sometimes it’ll get a bit personal, and other times, you’ll walk away inspired, or maybe with a new skill or way of looking at things.

Sound good? Perfect — let’s dive in.

Love Notes // Vol. 4

Love Notes // Vol. 4

01 // The Free People blog is always full of beautiful inspirational photos and creative DIYs, and this floral wedding garland is no exception, and has me wanting to pay a visit to the flower markets. I love when fresh flowers are used in unique ways beyond the traditional bouquet, and this reminds me of the floral heart we did a few months ago and which is still hanging on the studio wall.

01 // One of my favourite bloggers, Victoria of SFGIRLBYBAY curated three mini collections with Deny Designs that represent her dream gallery walls: LA Living, Beachy Boudoir, and Graphic Cool. Needless to say, I'm pretty into all of them. I've started putting my wish lists together, filled with art prints and pillows, and the styling for each room has quickly made it to the top of my decor inspiration.
