Gypsy Punk Wedding

I've been kind of walking around in a haze of wonder all week after seeing the gypsy shoot I put together with Sitting in a Tree + Katie Neal Photo up on 100 Layer Cake AND Green Wedding Shoes. This is my favorite thing that I've ever worked on.  It was also a lot of work (we had to carry everything down 100 steps of stairs to this little beach...and then back up) but mostly just good times hanging out with some crazy talented folks.  Here are a few of my favmcfav shots from Miss Katie who is just a dream.

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!

My latest guest post is up at Style Me Pretty today and it might be my most favorite wedding ever. Designed and created by the uber-talented girls at Bash, Please it is a colorful, confetti-filled wonderland!

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.

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.

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!

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

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

The Love Spot and DIY Guest Book

Some more eye candy from the shoot is up on The Sweetest Occasion!

We created a love spot tucked away in the wildflower fields for our beautiful couple.

We created an alternative to the traditional guest book and an easy DIY project to recreate. All the instructions are up on The Sweetest Occasion.
