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!!!

Just Me: We Moved to Oceanside


As many of you may have noticed, I've been a little absent from my blog, and for that I apologize. Things have been busy in my neck of the woods, this past month we made the move farther south to North County San Diego, specifically Oceanside. My husband is a youth pastor and after interning with Saddleback Church for a year put his resume out there and was hired as the Jr. High Youth Pastor at Daybreak Church in Carlsbad. I am so proud of him.
So since his job requires him to be local and mine allows me to be at almost any place in So Cal we gathered our things and our puppy dog and made the move to San Diego. So I have to get my booty in gear and start networking with people down here, so if you're reading this & live in the San Diego or South Orange County area I would LOVE to meet up and treat you to coffee and hear all about San Diego.
So stay tuned for some fun new weddings coming soon including a Great Gatsbyesque wedding at Descanso Gardens with my fave vendors Peony & Plum and Picotte Weddings (photography). Then there's the pretty pink wedding I did last weekend at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu with Peony & Plum and Heather Kincaid (photographer). And then there's of course the Alice in Wonderland wedding I did with A Stunning Affair and Halberg Photographers. Stay tuned for some fun eye candy!!!

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. : )

Trend: Alternative Aisle Runners

Seen on Occasions Niagra. 
Who says you have to use a basic white aisle runner...not me...
There are so many options these days whether it's going to Jo Ann Fabrics or the Fabric District and creating your own.
As seen on Luna Photo. 
You could bring in your theme and really make an impact when you take that walk towards your husband-to-be. The damask runner above can be purchased from the Original Runner Co.
You could even go green with recycled wood doors like the wedding above at Marvimon. 
This wedding above took place at Marvimon's sister property, Smog Shoppe, and the bride may look like she's walking on a cloud and that's because the aisle runner is made of faux fur. Love it.
 You could even walk on a bed of roses like Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who's Wedding Planner, Mindy Weiss, got the aisle runner from the Original Runner Co.
You could also go with a solid color and adorn with rose petals to create a one of a kind design. The sky's the limit really.
