Inspiration Board: Hot Pink Vintage

I made this inspiration board for a super fun wedding I am working on. I can't WAIT for this party. It is going to be incredible. LOTS of hot pink, doilies, streamers, hay bales and, oh did I mention, it is at a little place called the Condor's Nest Ranch?

And a very Happy Birthday to my hubby!

Vintage Engagement Session from Captured by Aimee


A few weeks ago my beautiful and talented friend Aimee of Captured by Aimee asked if I had any vintage props for an engagement session she was shooting that weekend. I sent her over my brass love birds and the love sign from our own wedding. I also whipped up some colorful pinwheels and ribbon wands. I just adore the end result. I might love the props that this super adorable couple brought along (the blanket, heart wreath and save-the-date signs) more than mine!

Utterly Engaged Modern and Organic Photoshoot

I tried but I couldn't get this photoshoot from the latest Utterly Engaged out of my head. It is just supreme perfection in my book. The absolute pairing of my two favorite design aesthetics - modern and organic. Sleek white vessels paired with sunbleached antlers. Smooth, curved black chairs with fluffy throws. Just beyond.

Temecula Engagement


I am SO excited to be a part of these two lovebirds' wedding next year! Kira and Tim are so creative and have incredible ideas for their wedding. Their sweet engagement session by flutter glass is just perfect. Kira is a photographer herself (and a great one at that) and she brought out the cutest vintage camera for the shoot.

La Jolla Vintage Baby Shower

Remember this board? Well, I can finally reveal the photos by my super talented friend Aimee of Captured by Aimee. I have been waiting so long because I was hoping that one of my favorite blogs of all time - The Sweetest Occasion - would like it enough to post it. Well, today is a really good day because it is up! The mommy-to-be (now the mommy of an adorable baby boy, Max) loves the color combination blue and tan so I started with that for our inspiration along with an eclectic vintage feel. I paired boyish stripes with pretty floral patterns for the table runners along with my collection of milk glass full of big, fluffy pink peonies.

Baby Shower I

Erin Ever After designed the most adorable invites for the party along with our sign for the guest book table. Guests signed sweet blue hearts and dropped them into the bird cage full of blue tulle.

Baby Shower II

A big tub served as our beverage cooler. The host and mother of the father-to-be saw it and brought down the cutest photo of him as a baby in an identical tub! So cute!

Baby Shower III

Guests wore name tags with fuzzy animal stickers and drank mimosas and fruit punch of baby bottles with barber straws.

Baby Shower V

Along with the decor, I whipped up some cupcakes (preferred dessert of the new mommy) and they were served on the sweetest antique plates.
