Real Weddings: Danielle + Brett

Christen — Wed, 23 May 2012 12:00:00 +0000

We absolutely fell head-over-heels in love with Danielle and Brett’s wedding! They were married at Birdsong Barn in Titusville, Florida and are lucky enough to have quite a few very talented friends and family who helped give their event a personal touch. There are way too many details that I adore, but their ombre escort cards, watercolor wedding program poster (yes, poster!), and Danielle’s fabric floral bouquet are all positively beautiful. Once you see them, I know you’ll feel the same way! Romantic, rustic, and vintage, I can’t get enough of these images by Amanda McMahon Photography!

Real Weddings: Logan + Greg

Christen — Tue, 22 May 2012 18:00:24 +0000

Logan and Greg’s wedding was an intimate and elegant celebration at The DeVore House in Alpharetta, Georgia. I have a quite a few favorite details from their wedding, most obvious being their beautiful flowers by Birch Blooms Floral Design (me? obsessed with flowers? never) which were understated yet included tons of texture from sweet peas, dusty miller, thistle and lisianthus in lovely shades of purple and ivory. Their whole day is beautiful and classic with just the right amount of southern charm. Thanks to Lauren Wright Weddings for these beautiful photos!

Retro Airplane Engagement Session

Ami — Tue, 22 May 2012 12:00:33 +0000

Rachel and Billy are the most adorable couple! We don’t share many engagement sessions, but we couldn’t resist the sweet retro charm of this Alabama engagement session from Green Tree Photography. Billy is an engineer and enjoys flying in his spare time, so what better place to hold their shoot than at the Moon Town Airport! Rachel and Billy love traveling, their adorable pup, and a good glass of wine. And these two are so down to earth that Billy proposed on a post-it note! Of course, Rachel said yes and the rest is history.

Ami — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Erin and Max are a Chicago couple who planned an Arizona destination wedding, and what better setting than the beautiful Sanctuary on Camelback Resort & Spa. After an outdoor ceremony with the picturesque view of Paradise Valley, guests moved inside to the ballroom where they were greeted by positively gorgeous florals from Petal Pusher – deep purple lisianthus, stock, tulips, and astilbe. Utterly in love with the stunning portraits by Jennifer Bowen!

Friday Flowers: Estate Tables

Ami — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:00:14 +0000

Happy Friday Flowers! Today we’re all about estate tables – my absolute favorite seating style! Estate tables are so versatile – dress them up or down, add candles, comfy cushions, pretty chivari chairs… and definitely your favorite low, lush blooms so guests can easily converse across the table. If you’re lucky enough to have a beautiful wood table, keep it bare. If not, add textured linens for an extra luxe splash, or white linens and colored chairs for a crisp, classic look.

Have we inspired you to stretch out those tables for your wedding day?

Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the sunshine and give your furbabies, best friends, and betrothed extra hugs and kisses!

Real Weddings: Mio + Dave

Christen — Thu, 17 May 2012 18:00:51 +0000

Oh how I love a winery wedding! Always classy and elegant with just the right touch of rustic. Mio and Dave’s spin on their Southern California winery wedding incorporates bold red and green florals by Mitsuko Floral in with the rustic elegance of Ponte Family Estate Winery. Brides who love red and green but want to know how to use it without hints of the holidays: take note! This is absolutely the way to do it. They also incorporate lots of mossy details such as their table numbers, topiaries, and even some mossy hanging monograms. Utterly in love with this wedding and all the photos by the wonderful Adrienne Gunde!

The following California vendors contributed to Mio and Dave’s wedding:

Venue – Ponte Family Estate Winery \ Photographer – Adrienne Gunde Photography \ Flowers – Mitsuko Floral \ Videographer – Sean & Leslie Africa \ DJ and Lighting – Mark Davies at Sterling Productions \ Jazz Band – Blu Note Jazz Band \ Hair and Make-up – Kelly Zhang Team \ Transportation – Brewen’s Empire Trolley

Real Weddings: Belinda + Jim

Christen — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:00:19 +0000

Belinda and Jim’s wedding is not only about as sophisticated and elegant as it gets, but it’s got an utterly fantastic pop of bold color throughout too! Bridesmaids in bright pink BCBG dresses, vibrant pink and red florals dripping with crystals by City of Commerce Flower, and glittering pink favors at each place setting, all set against their stunning venue Athenaeum at Caltech. The venue by itself is amazing, but then add in all these incredible details? I’m 100% smitten. Oh and add in the perfection that is Belinda’s Valentino heels? Make that 110%. Bravo to the whole team responsible for this gorgeous wedding and to Marvin Tsai for the beautiful photos!

Real Weddings: Kathleen + Keith

Christen — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:00:46 +0000

Kathleen and Keith were married in the 1920s mansion The Club Continental on the St. Johns River in Orange Park, Florida, so it was only natural that they go with an elegant vintage glam feel for the event. Almost their entire wedding was in black and white, but every now and then there was a vibrant and dramatic pop of red in the florals by Rose of Sharon European Florist. Kathleen and Keith look absolutely stunning in these wonderful photos by Jamie Lee Photography! I love the setting and the entire feel of this event, isn’t it all so glamorous?

The following Florida vendors contributed to Kathleen and Keith’s wedding:

Photographer – Jamie Lee Photography \ Venue – The Club Continental \ Florist – Rose of Sharon European Florist \ Planner – Southern Charm Events \ Videographer – Take One Productions \ Bakery – Metro Custom Cakes \ Ceremony Musicians – The String Group \ Bridal Salon – Tie the Knot Bridal
