27 Dresses

Yesterday, I ventured into the rain to meet a girlfriend and see Kathriene Heigel's 27 Dresses.
It was a fun movie. I do hope that the dresses were an exaggeration....I laughed each time a bride echoed the words, "And the best thing is that you can cut it off and wear the dress again".

Um, no.

I did, however, love the signature necklace that Katheriene's character wore throughout the movie. It struck me as the perfect bridal party gift. It was simple and lovely.

And after a little searching, I found the necklace on a great website. I've bookmarked the site and hope to pass it off to my husband and hit that it would be the best Valentine'sDay gift!

So, in recap, if you are planning a wedding, or if you enjoy weddings, AND you have a free rainy afternoon, grab a gal pal and head over to theater. You'll forever be grateful that your friends did not make you wear the

Little Bo-Peep dress. Believe me...it doesn't get much worse!

Working with some of our favorite vendors!

Stephanie and I are recovering for a wonderful but busy weekend. I am still on a high from this Saturday's wedding. J looked amazing. Stunning. She's who I want to be when I grow up!
She's the all-American crossed with sassy and stunning beauty!
And C...what a catch! He's funny and sincere. He can sing! And he's a true gentleman.

J thought of every detail! This snapshot is from their ceremony. The entire room was glowing with candle light and sparkling with accents.



I have been "stalking" Rob Holley's photography website. He jokingly said that he'd probably add pictures from the wedding to his website this week. http://www.robholley.net/.
I understand why he's anxious....they are going to be amazing. Old Hollywood glamour meets cool hip LA couple. Rob was fabulous to work with on Saturday. It's too bad he's relocated to Virginia. He's a true talent.

As always, we were thrilled to work with Joe from Today's the Day Weddings http://www.ttdweddings.com/. He's got such a kind way about him and his videos are so timeless.

Michelle Brue outdid herself. The chuppah was amazing. It was made out of birch wood and had crystal votives dangling off and catching the light.

The only other picture I took that I care to share (my other pics just don't do it justice and I'd rather you all see Rob's pics) is of the bridal party's flowers.



Can you see the ostrich feathers attached to the bouquets? Michelle hand dyed them to match the decor. Gorgeous!

C & J have generously offered to let us share all of the fun details from their wedding so stay tuned for an official recap once we have pro pics to share!

Hollywood, here we come......

We are so excited for C & J's wedding this weekend. Every detail has been carefully thought out and each element has been crafter. C&J have dynamic personalities that light up the room, and so in chosing venues, they had to chose something to match their sparking personalities. Stay tuned for pictures from the bright lights and action from this fabulous, iconic Hollywood site!

It's all about the details!

Stephanie and I love the details of weddings. Whether it is the subtle bow with your grandmother's cameo tied to your bouquet or suprise violinst that plays your parents wedding song. Over the past few months, some of our favorite details have been the Russian nesting dolls given as favors to guests and the hand-done letterpress menus at a Villa del sol D'Oro wedding.

The picture included in this post are from a wedding in Sierra Madre. We took pictures of some of our favorite details. The Villa del sol D'Oro is a special venue in that it allow for brides to express themselves through the details included in each room.

This beautiful, all white bouquet came from one of our favorite florists, Kate Baker.
She is spunky and fun but has an ear for listening to ensure she delivers the perfect flowers.
