The success of a small business is often times longevity, other times sales, other times happy customers. At Black Dot we’re happy to have a small foot in each of the three and we’ve hit a milestone already! We’re celebrating 50 sales in our Etsy shop with a 25% off sale.
Black Dot is constantly being updated with new images and as always if there is anything you’d like to see let us know. Here’s to the next 50!

Oh this is where it gets good you guys. Skinny Love Weddings arranged this divine Fiesta De Amor – a bright, colourful, bold Fiesta day photographed by Natalie Morgan Photography. I just love these gorgeous bright images and was thrilled that Wink could supply some goodies (Cantina sign, cupcake toppers, cake topper).
This cake from Cake & Co is just divine! I love this.

Those gorgeous monstera leaves are invading my mind again….here are four ways I’m feeling inspired.
DECOR – This gorgeous leaf backdrop from almost makes perfect is just simplicity. So easy but so effective!
WEDDING STATIONERY – I love this sweet design from Euclid + Jayne over on 100 Layer Cake. So much inspiration in this shoot from Cari Courtright & Jessica Rankin!
ART – This sweet printable download from printabold on Etsy is just divine and makes for easy art for your home.
NURSERY – I’ve just started following Bluebird Kisses on Instagram and every time I see this sweet nursery I focus in on that gorgeous wallpaper (it is actually decals from Urban Walls!)
I’m always thrilled to be asked to collaborate with fantastic people so when the team at Skinny Love Weddings got in touch of course I said Yes! Then to find out they were planning a bright, colourful, bold Fiesta day of weddings – well you can imagine my excitement.
I was lucky enough to supply both stationery and decor items for the day so both Love Ideas Ink and Wink were in the action!
Here are a few snaps from the day of the Love Ideas Ink wedding stationery taken in style by the always fabulous Natalie Morgan Photography.

Yes I am aware that I completely missed Valentines/Galentines Day this year (hey I posted on Instagram that totally counts!) but I am a super fan of the heart balloon and think they fit so many occasions – think weddings, engagements, new babies – anytime is a good time in my book.
Here are three of my favourites:
Oh Happy Day for the win with their divine Giant Ombre Heart Balloon Backdrop! Yes please.
Studio DIY with their super fun Galentines Day Balloons – these would be great for a girl’s birthday too!
The House that Lars Built with this amazing heart balloon backdrop/decoration, so cute and fun.
Finding things to post on social media every day can be exhausting! Using styled stock images makes everything a trillion times easier – trust me. Here are three examples I created for the Black Dot Instagram page and why they work.
2. Promote a blog post or some great information your customers need to know. Got something great to share with your best customers? Use social media to link them right to it. Use a catchy headline or leading question and make sure they have to click through to see what you’ve got to say.
3. Post an inspirational quote or message. Yes I know these can be cheesy but a positive little graphic sometimes can just make your day. Get on board and stay authentic by saying something that is true to your brand and don’t forget to make it cute and pinnable.
Styled stock is easy, quick and makes your social media look super professional! Check out our Etsy shop today to see if a styled stock image is right for your brand.
