Inspiration: breathtaking color



In all my years of weddings I have never seen a bouquet created in such stunning colors!  I about fell over this morning when I came across this wedding on Style Me Pretty.  Can you even believe how gorgeous those flowers are??!!  The entire wedding is absolutely breathtaking.  Enjoy!

Bountiful Bouquet


Good morning!  I took a little impromptu hiatus from blogging last week with the help of Blogger, as I was unable to post anything for a little while but I'm back!  And I spotted this colorful, eclectic wedding shot by Hedi of Our Labor of Love the other day--such a fun, Anthropologie vibe with a tea length wedding dress, clusters of hanging origami birds and a collection of found wooden chairs that make you feel like you just stepped into a sweet family dinner.

Brewed Inspiration


I thought this lovely bit of inspiration was quite fitting for a Monday morning, as I'm in need of extra strong coffee in my cup to get going today.  Lisa from Studio del Fiore sent me this perfectly Portland, coffee inspired shoot.  Reflecting on the now famous Portland lifestyle, Lisa and her team envision a small bridal shower or late intimate evening reception held in the familiar atmosphere of a coffee shop.  

For those of you not from the Pacific Northwest and gulp down a cup of Dunkin' Donuts on your way out the door in the morning, you may not follow the hip vibe of Case Study Coffee but nevertheless, nothing could be more conversation simulating or comforting than a gathering at your local barista.  

Here is Lisa to explain more:

We went the night time small reception and used soft yellows, caramels, oranges and creams with a touch of browns as our color palette, and tried to keep the decor simple and modern to fit with the coffee shops rich colors. The shoot took place at Case Study Coffee a local coffee shop owned and operated by two of the city’s best trained baristas.


The flowers designed by Studio del Fiore had a soft romantic feel with garden roses,  berries and warm copper tones.







The beautiful cake designed by AK Cake design had the most gorgeous had crafted sugar flowers, which seems to be a dying art form.



The favors were custom made coffee cozy’s and a personal size bag of coffee beans. The cozy’s were made by Studio del Fiore and the coffee bean bags came from Swanky Tables with labels designed by 1st Comes Love.





1st Comes love designed the stationery items including, invitation, menu card, and favor signs.

Real Wedding: Colleen + Eduardo


This morning we have a beautiful wedding sent to us from Levi Stolove Photography.  Colleen + Eduardo wanted a to create a winter Brooklyn affair to celebrate their wedding, complete with their ceremony at the same church the Bride's grandparents were married in!  So sweet.  Their reception was held at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, where the bride's father performed with his group of bagpipers for some serious entertainment!  Aren't the pink ranunculus and touches of grey dusty miller in their floral arrangements just beautiful?!  

Thank you, Levi and congratulations to Colleen + Eduardo!

Real Wedding: Mallory + Patrick


Happy Monday to you all!  I received this gorgeous wedding last week from Kim of Punch floral and design studio here in Portland last week, and I struck by two things: first, how wonderfully fresh and modern the design was. The Sandbox Studios is a stunning industrial space that is the ideal blank canvas for any event designer.  And second, how fantastically attractive the bride, groom and entire wedding party was! Seriously, they all look like their from a magazine shoot!  Mallory and Patrick were married here in Portland, Oregon on August 7th, 2010 and were photographed by the talented duo, Phil + Kim.  Congratulations to them and thank you again, Punch for sharing your work!
