Merry Merry!

Hiya! I hope y'all had a fabulouso holiday and got everything on your lists!!!  The hubs and I spent the week before Christmas frolicking around San Francisco.  It was a very nice, much needed getaway and proper way to spend my {gulp} 30th birthday!  

A couple of weeks ago I went to a super fun launch party for the new Exquisite Weddings blog - The Bride Suite - and Terri Rippee set up an adorable photo booth.  This is my favorite shot of me and the hilarious girls of Joielala, Tori of Sitting in a Tree and She Wanders' Suzanne.  Those girls crack.me.up!

Have an amazing New Years!  See you in 2011!!!

My Favorite Moment

My favorite moment at a wedding has to be the walk down the aisle after the ceremony.  Every couple always has perma-grin!  I love love love this shot from feather love of Sarah + Charlie.  They look so happy. 

Real Wedding: Sarah + Charlie

Yay! I can finally share the photos from Sarah and Charlie's wedding!  They were featured on Ruffled yesterday so go check it out!  Feather Love took the super rad photos from the ceremony and flutter glass captured all the details and dancing at the reception! 

 We placed mason jars filled with flowers on some of the aisle chairs.  On the others we made paper cones from old pages of books and filled them with dried rose petals for tossing.

 The Marston House is such a tranquil and lovely setting for a ceremony.

 We moved to Old Venice Restaurant in Point Loma for the reception.  This a hidden gem for intimate wedding receptions in San Diego.  They are so accommodating and sweet and the food is to-die-for!

Sarah's mom shipped over vintage milk bottles from neighboring farms in her home town and we filled those with seasonal flowers. 

 Sarah and Charlie love to read so we incorporated vintage books from their collection into the table decor.

We covered a corkboard with pages from old books for the escort display.  Jaime from Cactus + Quail designed all the paper goods as well as the stamps that we used on the escort envelopes and place cards.

 Totally yummy desserts from Cafe Zucchero in Little Italy!

Sneak Peek: Sarah + Charlie

Here is a little sneak peek from the wedding of my dear friends, Sarah + Charlie.  More to come soon!

Cactus & Quail Debut!

I have been waiting a really, really long time for this!  Jamie of A Desert Fete has finally come out with her own line of custom and readymade stationary!!! 

I have been a long-time fan of Jamie's design (she crafted our awesome wedding invite suite) and I'm so happy that she's finally made the leap to super biz lady! 

Head on over to Cactus & Quail for all kinds of rad goodies. 

I love her prints.  I have the 2nd one hanging in my house (I told you I was a super fan)!

Thanksgiving Dinner

 The lovely Aimee took these pretty photos of our Thanksgiving table.

 

And me pretending to be all domestic-like -

Inspiration Board: Our Thanksgiving Table

Yay! Half day for me!  I'm off to the flower market and grocery store to get ready for tomorrow!  My husband always takes care of the food and I get to decorate + bake!  Not a bad trade if I do say so myself.  Tomorrow's festivities will be all bold colors, birch vases + glittery gold!  Have a great holiday!
