New Website!

Hi everyone! It's been a terribly long time since I posted on here with new inventory and stories of what I've been up to. Since the last post, my first wedding season took off at full speed. During the winter, I focused on creating FIF 's official website that is user-friendly, clean, yet personal. Now you can view & select our inventory from one source. Check it out!

peek of the day: vintage lanterns

I'm a big outdoors type of girl and have been on the hunt for vintage lanterns for quite some time to use for my personal camping trips and for decor. As you can see, I happen to find them in red, white, and blue so remember that for your next July 4th or patriotic event!

peek of the day: italian nesting tables

peek of the day: duncan phyfe sofa

peek of the day: upholster chair

I have been disappointed for awhile because only warm color palettes and floral upholstered chairs & couches have crossed my path, but today I finally found this sweet pair of ladies & gentlemen chairs from the early 1900's in peacock blue/green to add to our assortment of seating inventory! Can't you feel the love between these two?

Amazing video of The NotWedding!

The Not Wedding 2011 from White Dress Media on Vimeo.
My favorite part is when the camera is rolling by the white church pews at 2:20. It's a day I'll never forget and my real favorite part was the preparation process - working alongside all the talented and amazing vendors bringing the event together as a whole. It was a huge honor.

Before all the photographers of The NotWedding start posting their fabulous pictures, I just wanted to give you a peek of the awesome event as I am playing catch up with the blog and all the wonderful brides who are waiting for me to respond - I will get to each and every one of you and thank you for your patience :)

More pictures on Four Inch Fold's facebook.

UPDATE: I had to share these pictures by The Photography of Haley Sheffield featuring our multiplication flashcard table number, farm table, and chairs with an amazing ensemble of flowers by the one and only Amy Osaba. Check out Haley's cute website for more eye candy.

peek of the day: industrial clothes rack

This old industrial clothes rack is so versatile and cute. I made this display case with crates & fabric strips to hold The NotWedding invitation suite this past week and I can't wait for the pictures to come out. Dress it up and it'd make a great escort card holder, backdrop, etc!

peek of the day: farm table

25 of these 8' long gorgeous handmade farm tables are ready for rent at your next event! They can seat from 6-10 people each depending on your table setting preference. YES, I did say 25!

peek of the day: white church pews

Looking for a unique alternative for seating at your wedding or event? These white pews came from a church in east Georgia and there are enough to seat 90-100 people. They are perfect for both indoor and outdoor events.

NOTE: The fireplace mantle below would make a great wedding alter with these pews!

peek of the day: fireplace mantle

I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th weekend! This is a gorgeous white fireplace mantle with a mirror that is going to travel a few hundred miles in September for one of our lovely brides! We're going to build shelves beside it for display items and picture frames. It's going to be fabulous and I can't wait.

peek of the day: mismatched tableware

 

Yes, I'm still alive! Just been insanely busy over here trying to catch up with emails, inventory, etc. Our mismatched tableware is growing pretty fast and ready for rent!

piece of the action: wedding day hooray

Four Inch Fold collaborated with Lucky + Lovely & Ciao Bella Weddings to achieve a vintage garden theme for their booth at this weekend's Wedding Day Hooray event. It was crazy in the beginning but as always, magic happened in the middle and it turned out awesome at the end. These talented ladies are sweet and fun to work with! There's still time to check out Wedding Day Hooray before the weekend ends!

piece of the action: engagement shoot

Sharing the details of today's shoot with ya'll. It all came so well together and everyone worked hard. Will be sharing the photographer's work sometime next week so check in for a stunning engagement shoot Atlanta's yet to see! Have a great weekend! : )

Birdy: Skinny Love

 A vintage inspired music video for a beautiful song. I love the distressed window pane, dusty piano, vintage boots, her dress, the architecture - everything down to the peeling wallpaper & dead spider still hung on its web. It's all about the details!

piece of the action: fashion bridal shoot

This was a very soft & feminine theme in a rose garden and I can't wait to share the photographer's (MYNX Photography) pictures. I took this with my standard digital camera just for you guys.

Our inventory used in the photo shoot:

First photo: suitcases, white bench, typewriter, white birdcage, and a metal tin can labeled "Southern Belle" & "Sugar"

Second photo: clover table, (2) farm chairs, baby ben clocks & big ben clock, bundles of coverless books, silver tea set placed on a vanity mirror tray, and doilies.

peek of the day: full luggage inventory

A few more luggage pieces have been added since the first time we started blogging our peeks. Enjoy!

peek of the day: unique enamel sink stand

I was inspired by the wall-hung enamel sink filled with moss/grass at a flea market so when I stumbled on this unique sink stand (3'-6" high) made of steel scraps, I got a bit weak. Place one or two wood crates or suitcases on top of the cross bracing. Fill the sink with a layer of moss or grass and stick your favors or name/table labels in it. Fill it with ice and beverages. Fill it with flowers and vines spilling out at sides.

peek of the day: rustic chair planter

I have two of these "project" chairs in which I was going to reupholster the seats but decided to use them as matching chair planters as inspired by the picture shown. Can't wait to transform them!

peek of the day: 3-tier metal plant stand

A rusty 3- tier metal wheelbarrow plant stand with scalloped trays. Great for holding flowers, favors, desserts, candles, and just about anything!

peek of the day: chalkboard stand

About 5' tall with a bottom shelf to display just about anything. The simple form allows for various ways to dress it up.

We have 74 of these cute & adorable half pint glass milk bottles from the 1940's-50's that were originally used in school lunches! Neatly organized in galvanized aluminum trays of 36 and comes in square or round shape! Perfect for any occasion.

peek of the day: beverage cart

A weathered wood slat beverage cart with a hidden sink that can be filled with ice and your favorite drinks or dessert snacks. It also has a 4-bottle rack on the bottom and wine glass holders underneath the counter near the push handle. Conveniently on wheels to serve everyone at your event!
