Romeo + Juliet

I was inspired by this home post on Design*Sponge to create a wedding board based upon the 1996 version of Romeo + Juliet. My friends and I were pretty much obsessed with this movie in our teens and there might even be photographic evidence of me kissing a movie poster with Leonardo on it. If I was having a Romeo + Juliet wedding I would just get a bunch of those grocery store candles for $1.99 each and maybe a few doves.

Lavender & Sand

Jamie put the idea of lavender in my head and now I just can't get it out! And after seeing this wedding I think I have to have it.

This lemon-y blueberry cake looks divine. I love that oversized middle layer.

Vintage Weddings on The Knot

Noa of Feather Love and I will be guest blogging a couple of times a week on The Knot! They have a website dedicated to all things vintage and you know I love me some vintage weddings! Our intro post is up today and we'll have more tips and ideas weekly for how to pull off a vintage-inspired event.

Thanksgiving Table

I had so many plans for our Thanksgiving decor. I was going to spray paint gourds and collect sticks from the park. Then the sickness came and everything fell to the wayside. At least I got to make the cheese flags. Thanks to Erin and her mercury glass for bringing some pretty into the house.

We finally live in a place that can accommodate dinner parties and I am excited to dust off the dining table and celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. Gold, white and wood are the driving forces for this year's decor. Target has some cheap gold mercury glass votives and I'm gearing up with spray paint and a mask this weekend. I'll have the finished project after Turkey day!

LA Love Boards

Sometimes when we're planning an event we can get completely overwhelmed by all the images and themes and styles out there. It's hard to rein in our own personal style and focus on the vision for the day. I'm a big fan of inspiration boards and inspiration vignettes to organize my thoughts when I'm planning a party.

LAL #2

I made these two boards for Los Angeles Love who wants to fuse glam with their rustic venue. She really likes the idea of sustainable centerpieces like succulents and jewel toned hues. Through the links she sent me I got a SoCal natural elegance vibe. Her and her man are into hiking and discovering new places around LA so I thought it would fun to incorporate things they find on their hikes into the decor. I adore the photo by Gemma Comas of a twig as a place card alternative. You don't need 5 foot centerpieces dripping with crystals to create elegance, folks. Succulent boxes, DIY paper decor can be easy options for prettying up a space on a budget.
