“I grew up in the country, and I like being isolated,” says Stella. “So when I see a building on the horizon, I want to plant a tree in front of it. That’s my natural instinct."

: bliss : parasols

























A wedding trend I'm loving is parasols. Whether carried by brides, maids, or flower girls, or used as decoration at the reception, parasols evoke a serene romantic mood.
