Romantic Chinese wedding: Lillian + Eric
100 Layer Cake Feature
Peonies blooming in bouquets and in the middle of centerpieces. A ceremony toast. Dapper bow ties. Jenga guestbook. Lollipop escort cards. Romantic movies as table numbers. Those are some of the ways Lillian + Eric mixed in bits of their quirky personality to their wedding. They gave the traditional Chinese wedding a new twist while honoring their heritage with hints of reds and golds peeking through their soft peachy pink palette.
This is the first for us. A Jenga guest book! Guests were instructed to grab a block & a marker and write a little note and place it back in the tower.
Their tables corresponded with their favorite movies (ones that represented parts of their life together, like a movie from the year each of them were born and from their dates together!). They had each mini poster printed and placed in modern white frames from Ikea.
Congratulations L + E!

{On to Baby Maternity Shoot}
We know it’s December, but we just couldn’t resist sharing these beautiful beach maternity photos fromSteph Anderson Photography! This gorgeous expecting mom, Ashley, is the daughter of famous longboard shaper Bill Stewart, so Steph thought a bohemian, beachy maternity shoot would be perfect for her along with her darling, look-a-like 3-year-old daugther, Emianna. She opted for matching white dresses for both of them that were accessorized with absolutely stunning flower head wreaths created by Aly from The Vine’s Leaf, Custom Blooms. Steph also wanted the setting to have special meaning to Ashley, and Trestles, the best surfing beach in San Clemente, was the perfect spot! You can see even more lovely photos over in the full gallery.
