Travel Inspired Theme

I picked up a few new items and while assembling them for a "look what I got" shoot... I saw a theme to my objects and just decided to go with it! This would be the perfect wedding theme if you and your honey love to travel. Or maybe you met while traveling? Incorporating your hobbies, interests and love story into your wedding events is key to making it uniquely yours! Infusing travel details into your wedding ceremony and reception is a fun touch... but you can also play up this theme for your engagement party or co-ed shower. Use postcards as invites, place settings, menu cards or table name cards. I love old vintage suitcases, and they work great for stashing blankets for guests (in case of a chilly outdoor reception) and they are a cute spot for guests to place their cards or small gifts. Also, maps are inexpensive, and can be used in a variety of ways... placemats, napkin ties, or garland just to name a few.

Spring Bridal Shower Inspiration

Here's a look at a vintage garden bridal shower... perfect inspiration for a spring affair. We paired the lush greenery of the venue (The Villa SJC) with pale blues, pinks and soft whites. Anvil Designs made us some great hand-stamped spoons that served as favors and place cards for the tables (one of my favorite details), vintage mason & seltzer jars held our beautiful centerpieces and grandma's lace made an appearance as well :-)

This is a great look for an outdoor venue as well as a backyard shower!

Garden Lingerie Bridal Shower

It was a beautiful day for a beautiful bridal shower. The inspiration for this shower was a romantic french garden... think soft pinks and greens, lace, vintage urns and twinkling chandeliers. The flowers were done by the mother of the bride-to-be, who happens to be a florist (that lucky girl) and owner of Petit Bouquet. The Bride's face said it all when she arrived at her shower. One of my favorite moments!! The guest enjoyed a french inspired menu... quiche, crudités, & cheeses to name a few nibbles and sipped champagne & sangria (ok, not so french). The evening was filled with fun, classy bridal shower moments... like a panty poem delivered by the bridesmaids and a video Q&A with the groom. The guests left with big smiles and small burlap sachets of wildflower seeds, to let "love bloom" in their home.

Julia's Beach Bridal Shower

May 1st was Julia's Beach Bridal Shower... and what an amazing location, right on the beach in San Clemente. The bride-to-be has a very classic & timeless style, so I wanted to reflect that in the shower. With the beach as my backdrop, I combined white & light blue linens topped with large vases filled with sand, shells, rocks and all things beach! White pom-poms were dancing in the wind, and orchids (Julia's favorite flower) were everywhere you looked! Guests sipped on champagne & sangria, munched on tasty food from Sundried Tomato Cafe and fed their sweet-tooth with cupcakes from Sprinkles.
