In honor of Ellis’s first birthday (and Josh’s 30th!) we had a party to celebrate. Here are some pictures from the day+weekend. We had a great time with many of our friends and family who came to celebrate! We had 16 people and 6 kids stay with us for the weekend and it was so much fun! These photos were taken by my AWESOME+talented long time friend, Jessie Kenney over @ Juneberry Photo. I will treasure them always.

For now, I’m so happy to share Brynn+Daniel’s fete with you. Brynn is just about the sweetest person I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is also the genius behind the blog chartreuse and a twist and I knew working with her was going to be a blast with some gorgeous results! Our brainstorming convos were filled with laughter, creative ideas and talk of lots of bright pretty florals. Their wedding was chalk full of punchy colors, personal details and lots of LOVE. While I’m usually done and gone from the venue before the ceremony takes place, this time, I was needed to stay and help transform the ceremony area into the dinner space. This means I was able to stay and witness Brynn+Daniel tie the knot and I’m SO glad I was there! Moments before Brynn descended the stairs to meet her groom our eyes caught and we shared a smile…she was all alone at the top of the stairs and it was such a special moment for me…sharing in the excitement that she was feeling and giving her a comforting nod. I will never forget that moment…thanks for sharing it with me Brynn!

This fete was perfect from top to bottom with an A-team of vendors to pull it all together. Zenaida Cellars is quaint but filled with charm and the staff there are awesome! Thomas Hill Organics provided the noshes – they are ridiculous – enough said! Jenny over at Cake Cathedral delivered some seriously yummy sweets and many, many thanks to Allyson Magda Photography for sharing these gorgeous images with us. Allyson is kinda a big deal…she shot Mark Zukerberg’s wedding….yes, true story.

A few Monday’s back I was so happy to share Shelley+Clayton’s gorgeous wedding on the Monday cutie…see that post here and now I’m thrilled to share it again, this time along with a front page feature on Style Me Pretty! This particular fete is near and dear to my heart for a few reasons. #1. Shelley+Clayton are darling. It was truly a pleasure to work with them. They are the kind of clients I wish lived here in SLO because we could be great friends. #2. The details of this wedding reign supreme. From the veil, to the fabric draping, bright florals and special touches. I could eat it all up! #3. This was the last wedding I installed before my sweet little Ellis was here. Shelley+Clayton’s wedding was March 24th and I was due April 1st (although she didn’t arrive until April 6th – ha) so you can try and imagine me 9 months pregnant pointing here and there to direct the installation. It was one I’ll remember always. Please take a moment to check out this beautiful feature here and leave some love. xo
