Real Wedding: Kelley & Rob, Part 2

This wedding was inspired by an old southern mansion. The bride & her mother wanted it to feel as if the guests were invited to their home & were wined & dined with the best food, best entertainment, and best decor they could find.

So we used a lot of vintage elements which were rented from Archive Vintage Rentals and filled with floral decor by Peony & Plum who knocked it out of the park, yet again.

For the main table we used a natural wood table setup as a kings banquet table with a white runner, china plates in 4 different colorful patterns and auntique silverware from Classic Party Rentals.

The cake by Fantasty Frostings was covered in handmade sugar rosepetals and sat atop a fabulous linen from La Tavola. We accented the table with simple mercury glass votive holders, miniature pink spray roses in full heads & petals to give it a simple romantic look.

Real Wedding: Kelley & Rob, Part 1

When we sat down and talked about the look of this wedding, the bride Kelley and her mom, Ludie, said they wanted it to feel as if you were invited into an old southern mansion. This was the theme throughout the wedding infusing so many personal touches as if each piece was taken out of someones home.

The ceremony took place at the groom's parents house in their backyard. This place had special significance, since it was here that Rob proposed to Kelley.

The floral design by Peony & Plum exceeded everyone's expectations and was the talk of the party. The one-of-a-kind floral wreath chandelier that was suspended from the oak tree in the back yard of the groom's parents home was an amazing focal point for the backyard ceremony.

We used many props that were in the home including the blue and white vase filled with florals and lemons to help accent our beverage station.

Moss Initials were created to hang at th entrance to the backyard and were later repurposed at the escort card table.

Calligraphy Katrina did all of the calligraphy for this wedding including this tent card for the antique handkercheifs.

As soon as I set foot in the backyard I knew the tree was the perfect spot for the ceremony. And accented by the floral wreath chandelier and the swagged leaves down the aisle with clusters of florals and lemons just completed the look.

The bride's dress was a custom couture gown by Alina Pizzano Couture based locally in Pasadena.

I love these photos in the rose garden which is where the groom proposed to his beautiful bride.

Real Inspiration: Multicultural Glam - Main Table

This is the most recent shoot we designed alongside a fabulous team of vendors at The Ebell of Los Angeles. All the amazing detail shots were captured by Picotte Weddings. The floral décor by the lovely Peony & Plum, was eclectic, bright and colorful and full of texture. She used a variety of flora & fauna including orchids, anemonies, roses, succulents, lisianthus, kangaroo paw, and ranunculus.

The colors of the tablescape popped against the Espresso Bengaline linen from BBJ Linen. The flowers were abundantly flowing out of the arrangements seen in an eclectic mix of vessels including Moroccan lanterns, wooden boxes, gold bowls, glass votives, and even a treasure chest.

The chairs with an embroidered gold pattern on chocolate brown leather were a bit of a fashion accessory to the table from Chameleon Chairs.

To add some more color to the table we added an authentic Indian Scarf from Picotte Weddings as a table runner.

The votive candle holders can be found at Luna Bazaar or sometimes at World Market. We also purchased the treasure chest at World Market as well.

The table numbers by Blue Magpie Invitations was wrapped in a fuchsia pink silk fabric.

I love all the texture that Peony & Plum used in the arrangements with the roses, succulents, lisianthus, orchids, and peacock feathers.

I love the the rental items from Classic Party Rentals, Unique Tabletop Collection, which added that touch of class including the Blue Glassware, Wooden Flatware, and Textured Amber Glass Chargers.

Blue Magpie Invitations hand wrapped each menu in gold cording and we accented the Wineberry Bengaline napkin from BBJ Linen with a peacock feather for a little added pizzazz.
