invitation to share

Natalie and Carson are getting married in October. If you've been following my blog you'll remember hearing about them a few times. We did their engagement session in July - and it was awesome! Anyhow, I love it when my brides send me their invites - so much fun! I really liked the fabric ribbon on Natalie and Carson's invite, eluding to the rustic elegant wedding they will put on at Santa Margarita Ranch!

I forgot to mention this AWESOMEST detail from Julie and Graham's wedding....they had those old school viewmaster mini slideshow toys on the table, they where each different and had photos of Julie and Graham and their cat!

Meghan + Matt | Willow Creek Olive Ranch

Meghan and Matt.....ahhh where to start. To say their wedding was incredible would be an understatement. The details were over the top, from canned champagne to a multi talented audience, nearly any of them could step up to be a part of the band. Did I mention how cool the shoes where?! Not just Meghans, but lots of people's! And the love, there was love in abundance....you'll just have to see for yourself!

Nelson, their French Bulldog was the ring bearer, I think he's been my favorite ring bearer to date!Jackson Browne played....he's fabulous, and pretty cool to see right there in front of me, I got the chills...All of this at the lovely Willow Creek Olive Ranch

where have I been?! + fun paper details

I took a little break from blogging, not intentionally, it just happened. but I'm back and have lots to catch up on! I think I'll start with some amazing paper goods I've received lately from my wonderfully creative clients....

First up are Megan + Matt's Wedding Invitation....clever they are, with setting the "stage" (so to speak) for the whole theme of their wedding with their invitation. Throughout the wedding they used 4 key icons; their French Bulldog, Nelson, who had an important part of the wedding, the ring bearer. An accordion, which is completely appropriate, you see Megan and Matt are both connected to the music industry and had and amazing line up musicians playing their wedding, including an accordionist (wow I guess that is a word!). Third they had the olive branch, because the wedding was at an olive ranch and then there was the top hat, I forget who the top hat belongs to, but it's one of their friends for sure! All tied together with yellow, which you don't see used often in weddings as the primary color, but let me tell you, it was absolutely STUNNING! Just wait till you see the photos from the wedding...




Next up! Natalie + Carson....super fun idea here. For their "save the date" they created an old fashioned newspaper. The Wedding Times, tells how they met, the weather forecast for the weekend of their wedding, details on where to stay and even has a cross word puzzle pertaining to their relationship and good times.
