Viva Love!

I am slowly getting over muted pastels, grays and beige and have been craving bursts of color. Loving those pink flamingos!

Our Davina + Daniel photos on A Classic Bride

You're probably sick of looking at our mugs but classic bride just posted some pics from our night out with davina + daniel a few months back.

Viva Pops!

Forget tiers. Forget cupcakes. I want to see popsicles at the next event I go to! And not just any popsicles. Viva Pops! This is the most AMAZING frozen dessert I have ever had in my life. I tried out the lavender lemonade pop at a killer event put on by Casa Artelexia and Sitting in a Tree Events. We were drooling over these babies all night. They are made with local and natural ingredients from San Diego farms. I am going tomorrow to try out the Mango Chili! You can rent a cart for your next event! It has been toasty the past few days here so I'm sure any guest would appreciate the cool down at a summer wedding in San Diego!

Punk Rock Heck Yeah

I can't believe I have just found out about the DC-based Punk Rock Bride! These dresses are HOT. Man, I loved my wedding dress to pieces but the gown above is just to die for.

I'm loving their design philosophy - "Punk Rock Bride was created to offer brides an alternative to the traditional wedding dress. We take a unique approach by incorporating non-traditional fabrics and mixing multiple layers to add texture and depth to every design. We take care to maintain very simple, classic silhouettes to flatter every figure, and focus on the details, giving brides a comfortable, fashion-forward option for their wedding day."

PLUS, each dress is designed and manufactured in the US which is kind of hard to find these days.

Dream Project: Ribbon Wall

{via 100 layer cake}

I had visions of ribbon and fabric strips hanging everywhere at the wedding but alas it was just one of those little details that had to be cut from the (very) long list of projects (and it totally didn't matter in the end...more on that later). Still, when I see photos of bright, colorful streaks of color flowing in the wind I feel a tinge of remorse. It really can be such an easy and inexpensive way to brighten up a ceremony or reception space! You wouldn't need to do much else (and too much more would be too much, ya know). I am looking forward to implementing this project in the future...if anyone wants to let me give it a go just holler!

Hi y'all. Just wanted to let you know that I am back from the wedding. It was kind of totally awesome. I am still processing everything that happened. I'm not ready for it to be over but I'm ready to get started on all the other weddings and events that are in the works!

Forgive the repost from my other blog but it IS Wednesday and this IS an inspiration board of sorts. Birthday party, wedding, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner...anything goes in the desert!
