The Non Flower Bouquet

Flowers and weddings go together like peanut butter and jelly....but what if you took away the jelly and substituted honey, or chocolate, or marshmallow?! Yummm! In the same breath, what if we took away flowers and substituted paper? What you say?! Yes, check out the above pictures and ideas for alternatives to flowers. 

Wedding are all about creativity, and doing out of the normal things to get a reaction from your guests and to be remembered! Go for it, be bold and try something new! Find things you love and use them for your bouquet, or centerpieces. 

Happy discovering....

We Go Together Like...

Its 11:17pm, and I am popping around on Etsy on a wild Saturday night...boy am I boring! Well, I am having fun and thats all that matters, call me a dork, just fine with me! I came across these adorable penciles from Knot & Bow on Esty (We go together) pencil set and I fell in love! 

Are you thinking what I am thinking? Favors! Seriously, get rid of the picture frame idea that no one really wants and get something that people will use! Everyone needs a pencil (remember when we actually used paper and pens and not our computers?)...and who wouldn't want a pencil that says "meat & potatoes"?

Happy Sharpening!

Left My Heart In San Francisco!

I heart Alida and Shea....Not because they are honestly the most beautiful couple, but because they were so exciting to work with. Alida and her mom were very hands on, but totally trusting when it came to her wedding planning experience. If I could teach every bride how to trust like Alida did, my job would be a dream! She told me her vision and gave myself and our wedding vendors 100% creative freedom to do what we did best, and I think the pictures will prove it didn’t turn out too shabby! Alida and Shea’s wedding took place at the San Francisco Ritz Carleton.

Alida wanted a very elegant, modern feel to her wedding. She wanted the details to reflect what her and Shea were about and loved. Our inspiration piece?! Her Channel white tufted purse with gold accents. When she’s going out, its her go to accessory (what better inspiration than Channel?!) We kept the entire room white, and clean with gold accents. Everything from the tables, to chair cushions to dance floor and lights were white; what a statement we made in that room. Her accent pop colors were soft sage and a very light hint of barely there pink in her florals. Details of the couple could be seen at the dessert bar. A two tiered dessert bar was showcase on a white carpet stage with draping behind. Up lights showed off the glitter gold accents that could be found on the cake and cake pops. The cake pops were a mix of gold Channel C’s and for Shea footballs. It was an adorable ode to the couple that guests devoured!

I hope you enjoy every detail of these picture. Soak in the accent pieces and decor....it is truly beautiful.
