Celebrity Wedding: Molly Sims

The photo I loved the most in this wedding is the photo of the bride with her bridesmaids, each in their own unique dress. I absolutely love this trend and if I got married all over again I would definitely let my girls pick their own dresses based on their own styles & budgets.

The bride's Marchesa gown was simple, elegant & romantic.

And who doesn't love nuptuals in wine country?

Featured: Hostess with the Mostess

I was excited when our tablescape was featured on Style Me Pretty, but to also have it featured on Hostess with the Mostess, was more than I anticipated. It was a wonderful surprise.

Here's a link to Part 1 & Part 2.

Vendor Pick: Fantasy Frostings

I had the pleasure of meeting Leslie Maynor of Fantasy Frostings, finally, at an industry event for The Knot Wedding Magazine last week. I reached out to her on Twitter to see if she wanted to donate anything for the raffle and she sent a $200 gift certificate for cake. Wowza. So, because she is super sweet and down to earth and has done cakes for celebs like Kendra & Rob & Katilin from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", I had to share her beautiful work with you.

Flavors include: White Satan, Chocolate Fudge Surprise, Lemon Squeeze, Banana Walnut, New Orleans Spice, 14 Karat, Red Velvet, & Marble Chip. Mmmmm...I'm getting hungry just writing about it.

Inspiration: The New Carnation

Now, carnations are not my favorite flower in the world. They often have the conotation of "cheap" or "chincy" written all over them. However, when places together, side by side, in a grouping they can actually look quite fabulous. And because of the fact that they are a more inexpensive flower, you can still get that wow factor you're going for and stay under budget. Now that's some good news.

Here's a gorgeous centerpiece from Nancy Liu Chin.

Here are some great and bright ideas found on The Knot.

Here's a great idea from Martha Stewart...and I love the color combo of aqua and red. Stay tuned for an "Inspiration" blog post on this color combo coming soon...

Here's another spin on the pomander, found at Project Wedding.

These manzanita branches with pomanders could flank the ceremony altar or add a little focal interest to the escort card table. I wouldn't suggest these as centerpieces as they would block your view. This was found on Ashley's Bride Guide.

This amazing masterpiece was created by Beautiful Blooms and wow, what a showpiece!!!

This preppy number was found at DIY Bride.

These pomanders were created by Bouquets of Austin and found on Project Wedding.

These chic and DIY centerpieces are so basic, and there's numerous one's so your guests can take them home as gifts. Found on Brides.com, Photo by Anna Williams.

Here's a modern yet romantic take on carnations, as seen on DIY Bride.

These little gifts can be found in the pages of Brides Magazine.

Another great design from Brides Magazine. This would be great for a bridal shower, baby shower, or a little girls birthday party. So cute.

Now that's how you display escort cards. How simple and chic is this idea from The Knot?

And wow, what a cake. And who else but Martha Stewart would design such a simple and chic masterpiece?

And what a statement. This centerpiece was found at The Knot.

So next time you see carnations...don't just pass them by...get a whole bunch and see what chic ideas you can come up with.

Inspiration: Mamma Mia

I absolutely loved the movie Mamma Mia! and still listen to the Soundtrack often. I have never been to Greece but would love to visit...it looks absolutely breathtaking. I hope you enjoy the inspiration I drew from the movie with my own little spin on it. "If you change your mind...I'm the first in line...honey, I'm still free...Take a chance on me..."

First comes the invitation and being in California, this would be a destination wedding and what better way to invite guests than to have custom made passport invites from HGO Creations!

Being a destination wedding, you get the opportunity to spend time with your guests for a few days and celebrate with them on several occasions. So, why not treat everyone a day or two before the wedding and go sailing around the islands of Greece, like the one seen here in Santorini, photo take by the amazing photographer Jessica Claire.

I found an over the shoulder dress somewhat similar to what the bride wore in the movie version of Mamma Mia. This dress is only $399 at OnlyGowns.com.

I found this very organic and romantic bouquet by Hawley's Florist.

Here are some beautiful chiffon dresses, of which any would be a complimenting outfit for any bridesmaid. Blue on the left by Watters & Watters, Green in the center by Thread, and the Yellow on the right by Lazaro.

Torches would line the pathway to a wedding by the sea, found on Brides.com.

This is the filming location of Mamma Mia. This part of the island, seen in the movie with the chapel on top where the wedding takes place, is part of the island of Skopolos in Greece.

As seen in the movie, because it's a natural and organic event, a great addition is butterflies. Seen here making a curtain backdrop for a wedding ceremony.

In researching the inspiration for this wedding, I came across a chef who takes Greek food to a modern and eye catching level. He is Psilakis who was taught how to cook by his mother. He is the owner of a few restaurants one of which is Mia Dona in New York City.
