#shabraun | First Anniversary Gift of Paper

August 3, 2020

So the traditional first anniversary gift is the gift of paper…well I knew exactly what to do as my job is literally to make things with paper everyday. :) Now this illustration of our wedding venue hangs on our wall amongst illustrations of more of our other favorite places. It’s so special.

#shabraun | Why Have A Ring Bearer When You Can Have Ring Security?

August 20, 2019

We loved the chance to have some fun with our ring bearer. Ring security is a great option for boys, especially if they are slightly older than typical ring bearer age, because it gives them a better sense of the importance of their role in the big day. Plus “the costume” for the job is a suit and makes wearing one more enjoyable if you’re playing the security agent role seriously.

#shabraun | Asking Our Wedding Party

August 20, 2019

Asking your nearest and dearest to be apart of your wedding is almost as exciting as getting engaged, but coming up with how to pop the question can be a real struggle. Just remember your crew/clan/squad has been by your side through thick and thin. They love you as much as you love them, and they will be over the moon to stand by your side on your wedding day—gift or not gift. However if you are set on gifting, we wanted to share what we found for our wedding party asks in the hopes it would give you an idea for your own special asks.

Hi, I'm Shalan! Studioist.co is my journal devoted to adventures, creativity, recipes, and my husband LeBraun and I's semi-nomadic lifestyle. I spend most of my days wondering how to combine my two loves, traveling and illustrations. The rest of my time I spend trying to create awesome gluten-free, dairy-free recipes. I want this to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as well as a fun place to spend your time. And yes, sometimes it gets messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
