Just The Two Of US

When the only thing you need is each other!

Elopement in Secret Garden…how fitting is that! Right? Private. Intimate. Romantic.

These are the words that come to mind when you look at these pictures. Another theme that pops us is the air of tranquility ~ If you’d rather be relaxed on your Big Day, here is a great, planning-free, stress-free inspiration! All you need is a good photographer, a wonderful flower arranger and some gorgeous china for your table-for-two. Sarah from Sarah’s Garden and Leslie from Leslie D Photography make wonderful team when it comes to styling and clicking. Sarah called me for this inspiration at Secret Garden. I had no idea what she was creating and when the sneak peek came out – Wow…it was a beautiful secret affair. Her flowers and style are both stunning and transform and mix styles in a very different way. The magic that she created was then stunningly transformed into pictures by Leslie. Enjoy this elopement shoot with all its calm air and repose!

About Author

Hi and welcome to my blog!

My name is Riffat and I am the writer behind this blog. Through this blog I share many things I am enthusiastic about – my curated items from old era, passion for tea and tea parties, design and décor, DIY projects. I specifically like to create themed and seasonal parties incorporating vintage treasures. I am married to an awesome guy who has {a good case of} wanderlust and is a grand but healthy foodie. Occasionally I will be journaling and sharing his experiences in travel, recipes and restaurant reviews. On my blog you will also get to meet our 3 amazing boys – the oldest is neuro-diverse and his being on the spectrum has given a different and incredible meaning to our family! I would be a very different person without him. Besides enjoying my family and this blog, I am a full-time speech and language pathologist.

We recently moved to Dallas from Arizona. Back there, I ran a vintage china rental and sales business. I had the pleasure of working with some amazing vendors in the event industry and got featured on many international and national blogs. I started blogging specific to my collection but recently switched to life style blogging to touch more aspects of life.

Originally from Pakistan, I am a multicultural and multilingual person and enjoy diversity to its fullest. I welcome new things and ways and learn from them but believe in restoring and preserving as well. I love people who inspire each other, are successful holistically, spread positive vibes and make a difference in this world for themselves and individuals around them. Overall, I strive to be a very well-balanced person and this blog plays some part in achieving that!

I absolutely love to team up with creative minds! Feel free to contact me for style consultation, photo shoots, vintage & antique articles, tea parties and hand-made items. I also do product reviews and feature items on my blog. I have a small shop on etsy featuring my collection and hand-made items.
