Ties & Arrows

{Partners & Spade}

Spotted these hand painted neckties on Partners & Spade. They are made of raw canvas. I can picture a bunch of weddings that these ties would go well with to dress up the groom and his boys...and I've got to say...they are pretty neat.

A 1920's wedding: Joann+Jon

Todays wedding is from the talented photog duo of Paco & Betty . They Shot the wedding of Joann and John, which was dripping with 1920's dreaminess...and their photography skills definitely added to the effect. With Nestledown, in the Santa Cruz Mtns set as the backdrop to their nuptials, Joann and Jon said "i do" amongst family, friends, towering trees, and an amazing amount of well thought out detail that just made for a perfect event.

Seriously, what is not to love about their wedding?! The fashion was impeccable and I especially love the newspaper boys handing out their newspaper programs (How Genius...and fitting). Her Monique Lhuillier dress is totally gorgeous and fits her an their event to a T.

All their details are so effortlessly amazing, from their vintage antique vignettes, to wooden menu boards, carved wood centerpiece holders, succulents, perfectly executed dessert table, and super cute table numbers.

From This to That: Inspiration boards

Totally in love with these color schemes
I love seeing how couples turn their inspiration into reality on their big day. Take this simple example of a board found on 100 layer cake. This bride used it as her inspiration for her vintage Parisian theme wedding...and look at the colors...isn't it gorgeous?! Definitely not your usual combo, but it Sooo works!
