Featured: Bridal Guide Magazine

It's official...this is the shoot that keeps on giving. 2 years ago Lina of A Stunning Affair and I teamed up to recreate a Twilight Wedding and tried our best to follow along to the book, and this was way before the movie came out. Well, it's been featured not only on the Bridal Guide website, but we even got a little "sneak peek" of it in the most recent Bridal Guide magazine. YAY!!!
So far it's been featured on Style Me Pretty, Hostess With The Mostess (Part 1) (Part 2), in Woman's World Magazine, on countless Twi-Hard Blogs, and now Bridal Guide Magazine. Gotta love all the shout outs.
Once again here is the list of amazing vendors that helped us bring the shoot to life:
The amazing pics are by Meg Perotti
That killer cake was done by Sweet & Saucy
Floral design was by A Stunning Affair
Calligraphy & paper goods by Calligraphy Katrina
Fabulous rentals were from Classic Party Rentals

Happy Halloween

In honor of all hallow's eve where you can dress up and be almost anyone, I thought I'd share some of my favorite Fantasy Theme Weddings.
This Tron inspired wedding is absolutely brilliant. Check out the feature on Green Wedding Shoes for all the details. 
This shoot was inspired by Tangled, but of course. Love this one as seen on Wedding Chicks.
This one was inspired by Super Mario. This one is so imaginative. I love it. See it here on Green Wedding Shoes.

Then of course theirs the fantastical scene of the wedding ceremony of Edward & Bella. In case you didn't already know, I'm a big Twilight Fan. I'm also Team Edward. I'm prepared to see the movie opening night! Can't wait!!!

Sneak Peak: Inspiration Wonderlandia

 I previously posted that I was invited to design a wedding tablescape for the Hostess With The Mostess Launch Party that was on Friday Night in San Diego at the Hotel Solomar on the rooftop.
 The only perameters were that it had to be int the theme of Wonderlandia and had to use shade of the colors red, orange, and green with accents of yellow, black or white.
 So I decided to go very bright & cheery with the color scheme using magenta pink, bright orange, bright yellow, and bright green against all white containers including tea pots, tea cups & saucers, and water pitchers.
 La Tavola sponsored the event by letting us use their linens to I chose the Tuscany Limestone for a neutral palette to allow the bright colors to really pop off the table. And I used the Tuscany Crush color for the napkins and chair pads to add a little bit of pop.
 Peony & Plum, my go to florist, took my ideas and inspiration board and once again exceeded my expectations and gave me a lot to work with. And Blue Magpie Invitations made all the paper goodies including the invitation, menu cards, drink me signs & table name.
 We used orange & magenta dahlias, yellow billy balls, green mini hydrangea, magenta garden roses, yellow parrot tulips, orange ranunculus, and green trick carnations (the round balls of what looks like grass).
We also had to use the "Drink Me" from Alice in Wonderland and I went very summery with it giving each table setting an Izze in a color that matched the linen napkin perfectly. I can't wait to show you the images the photographer took, these ones are from my iPhone. : )

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. 
The Moroccan Lanterns were purchased at World Market, but you can also find them online at Koehler Home Decor
We also had a scrumptious "mini cake" made out of layered cookies & chocolate filling for each guest as our favor by Fantasy Frostings
The Contempo Blue Glassware is so stunning, Classic Party Rentals also has the same style in amber and pink
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post on our Bride & Groom. 

Thank you to all my fabulous collaborators:
