We accented the tablescape with vintage book stacks, cut crystal votives and the stunning “Smoke Elegance” Chargers. The chargers were finished off with a crisp linen napkin with the printed menu from Mintwich Designs perfectly tucked in and a classic olive leaf sprig with a single phalaenopsis orchid to make every guest feel special. For the desserts, we leaned towards the prettiness side with a hand painted cake that had a gorgeous gold blossom created by Cupcakes Couture of Manhattan Beach Creamery. The dessert table also had yummy treats of Mini Cream’wiches, Vanilla Bean French Macaroons, White Chocolate covered marshmallows, Snowball cookies and White Chocolate Coconut Rice Krispy bars. Two menu chalkboards were hung behind the dessert table to bring in the industrial element.

Love Neutrals…Love. Love. Love.

I love everything about our new collection of white ceramic vases…they are so simple and clean and beautiful.  I would have this in my house every day if I could, the classic blends of the white and ivory blooms with touches of super pale blush peonies…to die for.  LOVE! These little gems will forever be in my heart! Thank you Aaron Young Photography for another beautiful set of images!

Kirstie Kelly Couture

Last week we went to visit the beautiful showroom of Kirstie Kelly with Kristen Maple of Chris and Kristen Fine Art Photogarphy to choose some of her amazing dresses to showcase for an upcoming shoot that we are planning at Cal-a-Vie (the venue itself deserves a whole other post all to itself!) Kirstie’s gowns are so beautiful, classic and elegant…I was wishing that it was my turn to get married again! They showed us all around and told us all about their gorgeous dresses…the most amazing thing is that they can totally customize each dress to be exactly what you are looking for by changing little things here and there to be just perfect for each individual bride.  They have a beautiful collection of Bridesmaids dresses as well, that again, are totally customizable and come with a full service assistant (the amazing Sarah) who will organize and communicate all of the details with your lovely Bridesmaids, totally taking the stress of off the Bride.  If you are a Bride looking for a full service PHENOMENAL  experience, you must pay this place a visit!

To celebrate the ‘Lovers of Love’ on their day we like to call Valentine’s Day we are offering a Valentine’s Day Delivery Shop!  This isn’t your typical Dozen Roses or “Valentine’s Mix”  Flower Delivery, folks.  We will only have the Creme de la Creme, the best of the best, top notch blooms in the house.

The process is simple, we will be hand-selecting the flowers to create these one of a kind ever so stylish arrangements.  They will be in a simple and classic white ceramic vase filled with a tasteful blend of garden roses, dutch hydrangea, tulips, anemones, lilacs and peonies.  Colors will be a dramatic and romantic mix of the most feminine hues, unless of course you prefer something different.  There are four different price points to choose from:

 $85 | $150 | $200 | $250

Ivory Wedding Inspiration

StylingStartsHere  chrisjenn photos SSH007 low Ivory Wedding Inspiration

This lovely little shoot was taken out at Sand Canyon with Melissa Robles of Styling Starts Here and Chris + Jenn Photos.  ISn’t the background SO pretty?! For the design here, I was going for a beautiful and slightly modern take on the rustic flowers.  I wanted to create something classic and elegant, yet still suitable for an outdoor backdrop.  I used white hydrangeas, soft ivory astilbe, craspedia, amazing ivory/green garden roses,  with accents of millet and ferns.
