Meet the Blogger: Erin of Dandelion & Grey

October 25, 2010

Posted 09/12

Which came first – blog or business?

The blog came first! After planning our wedding in June ’09 I needed an outlet to continue my creativity. It wasn’t until about 6 months after I had been blogging that I realized I also really missed the planning & design aspects of our wedding- which led me to start Dandelion & Grey Event Design in January 2010.

Your event and styling work is beautiful! What is your favorite aspect of getting to work with events?

My favorite aspect of getting to work with events is the diversity and creativity involved. Each couple has a different story, history & style and I truly feel so lucky to get the opportunity to bring that to life.

Where do you go for inspiration for your creative work?

I gather inspiration everywhere, but I would say the top three places I find it would be blogs, travel and tv/film. I am continually impressed at what I see on a daily basis on so many blogs. I think this community we have all created is just incredible and allows us to push ourselves to fulfill new creative endeavors.

How has blogging influenced your work or vice versa?

Blogging is a huge part of what I do. I love to be able to share my photoshoots, parties, weddings and inspiration with my readers. On the flipside, the business has influenced the blog in the sense that I tend to blog only about my work and inspiration these days, whereas I used to blog daily wedding inspiration. It definitely is ever-evolving, but this is a good way for me to share my work & maintain a balance!

Just for fun – what is on your must have list for fall?

Fall is my favorite season! I just purchased some adorable camel colored flats that I can’t wait to wear. I also adore scarves, sweaters and boots…they are definitely staples in my Fall wardrobe!
