Sneak Peak: Real Wedding, Michelle & Ramsses Wonderland Wedding
Here's a little sneak peak of a Wonderland Inspired wedding I did recently with my partner in crime, Lina, of A Stunning Affair.
We co-designed it and she did all of the fabulous floral decor & the bride found all of the vintage elements like books, keys, bottles, tea cups & saucers, and burlap overlays.
We did a drink station with Horchata & Strawberry Water & had moss accent just about everything...
We also used a tree stump to put this drink dispenser, and used another one for the cake to sit on. Loved it!!!!
The bride saw this "hankie" idea at another wedding I did and I still love it. It's so simple, yet so personal.
And the bouquet was inspired by Jessica Claire's Wedding Bouquet and we accented Michelle's with a burlap wrap & a clock key that she found. I love how it came out.
Michelle also saw this idea to do a teapot filled with flowers inside a bird cage. I love how it turned out.
Click here to check out a slideshow of Michelle & Ramsses' same-day-edit that Halberg Photographers put together on the wedding day. I love that they can turn their photos around that fast. Brilliant.

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.

Inspiration: A Wonderlandia Wedding
I have been on hiatus for a bit from blogging. My husband and I recently moved to Oceanside for his new job and things have been a little crazy. But, without further adieu, here are the images from the Wonderlandia tablescape I did for Hostess With The Mostess' launch party that took place last month in San Diego.
I couldn't have done this tablescape without the amazing team of vendors including my favorite florist in the world, Peony & Plum, as well as Blue Magpie Invitations and La Tavola Fine Linens.

Featured: HWTM Wonderlandia
Jenn of HWTM asked me to design the wedding tablescape for her launch party and I couldn't say no (see sneak peak above). Here's a little taste of the other 5 tablescapes at the launch party for Hostess With The Mostess. You can see more on her blog. 
I was so excited when I heard that Jesi Haack would be there since I'm a huge fan of her work. She was given the baby shower tablescape and I love the trend of sharing whether the baby is a boy or girl by having the inside of the cake reveal the color (blue or pink). Adorable. And it's always great to see, Carissa, of JL Designs who did the florals for Jesi's table.
There was also a kids birthday.
...Bridal Shower...
and it was great to see Carolyn after a while who was asked to do the adult birthday party tablescape.
This event was a ton of fun to be a part of. Thanks again, Jenn, for letting me be a part of it.

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. : )
