Liz & Rob's E-Session

Congratulations to Liz and Rob who are getting married this weekend! We love their adorable e-session from W. Scott Chester! I am in awe of the photos with the shadows...

Bollywood Wedding

One of my best friends, Carla, attended this wedding earlier this year and enjoyed it so much she sent me the link to the photos. Shannon and Pratap are Carla's co-workers at Google. They were married in San Francisco. The wedding day started out with a stroll through Delores Park where the couple was greeted with thunderous applause from all of the people in the park enjoying the perfectly sunny day.


The couple then headed to their ceremony and reception venue- Foreign Cinema. The ceremony was a multi-cultural celebration combining American and Indian wedding rituals.


Love the stationery details- and that guest tables were named after the couples favorite movies.


The reception was full of love, family and friends- and old movies on the big screen under the "stars."

Happy Derby Day!

We love celebrating Derby Day each year by remembering Jenna and John's Derby Day Wedding that was featured in the National Knot Magazine and on Snippet and Ink. I still love looking at the gorgeous flowers and hand painted invitations from Momental Designs.


I am also in love with this "Lucky in Love" stationery from Miss Pickles Press.


And we're off the the races...!

Barn Wedding Inspiration

I found this prettiness on the WeddingWire blog today- a yellow inspiration board for a barn wedding. This board makes me really wish we had a barn wedding coming up!

Happy Wedding Weekend Jennifer & Richard!

We adore Jennifer and Richard's whimsical and bright engagement session a few months ago with their talented photographer W. Scott Chester. We are looking forward to their wedding this weekend!

Happy Earth Day!

Earth Day is tomorrow! I had so much fun collaborating on this gorgeous eco-chic inspiration board with Chrissy of The Perfect Palette. Sometime ago I had a concept of a wedding that was heavy in floral details but was very eco-friendly and did not actually use any real flowers. Chrissy helped me pull these ideas together in this lovely board. Note the eco-friendly wedding gown, conflict free diamond ring, balsa wood flower bouquet {balsa wood is ecologically sustainable timber} and other pretty, environmentally friendly details.

Sarah & Brannan

I think this might be our last real wedding feature from 2009... Sarah and Brannan were married and held their reception at the Piedmont Room on October 10th. Sarah chose a pretty Fall color palette of a unique shade of chartreuse green, chocolate brown and shades of orange.


Sarah and Brannan opted to see each other before the ceremony, so there was plenty of time for great pre-wedding photos at the venue and in Piedmont Park.


The bridal party looked great...


...but I am pretty sure these two stole the show!


I love the branches and orange florals used in the ceremony and reception.


The couple was sent off with a grand sparkler exit!


Congratulations Sarah and Brannan! PS- we really loved your choreographed first dance- pure awesomeness! {Photo credit: Tim Will}
