Summer Summer Summer Time!

Well Summer is officially here! Thank Gawd b/c I was slumping in the fact that I still had to wear leggings and boots every so often. I have put away all my bulky winter / fall stuff and spread out my dresses....These images definitely conjure up the fun in the sun feeling with lively colors, warm summer nights, glitzy golds and that burnt orange leather....and we must not forget the Popsicles!!

We have some weddings to work, some weddings to attend, baby showers galor, and lots and lots of travel!! Next post will be on that!! Cant wait!

What are your summer plans?

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.

Vintage Micro Mini Dress & Green Vintage Photography

{images by green vintage photography}

"Hello Gorgeous!!" love the dress right? It is so "mad-men-esque"....so of course i was totally swooning over it.

Leslie of Green Vintage Photography shot these engagement photos for Stephanie (also of green vintage photography) & Erik in Sacramento, CA (woo-hoo)... you will notice the capitol building in the last photo. They did an amazing job. The vibe and feel of the whole shoot is awesome!!

This dress was Stephanie's mother's wedding dress. She wore it in 1971 and Stephanie had it altered to a micro mini length...and viola! total vintage dress gorgeousness!! The sleeves, the lace detail on the top & neckline...*sigh* now this is how you wear "your mom's wedding dress"

Thanks to Green Vintage Photography for doing a fabulous job and giving all us wedding bloggers some great eye candy!! You can tell we love it b/c they were also featured on Junebug weddings.

Check out the rest of their e-session here!!

Colorful Pallete: Jungle inspired

board created by Zenadia Designs

Don't you love all these colors!!? Its so fresh and vibrant. A Modern Jungle inspired event! I was inspired by this color palette and inspiration board made from Zenadia Designs and decided to make an inspiration board of my own. This was probably one the funnest ones I have done because you can get really creative with it. My fav part was incorporating some of my favorite patterns like Ikat and trellis patterns....which i love to use in my home.

You can incorporate all these little details like subtle leopard prints, bamboo accents, ferns & palms and wear fun statement pieces and accessories like the turquoise feather necklace or gi-normous hair flower pictured below. you can show off, patterned linens, vibrant colored glass on your table scapes, breezy, flowy dresses, tropical flowers of every vibrant color, safari details....shall I keep going?

Well, below is my inspiration board with all things that evoked a modern jungle feel to me. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it. Made on Polyvore...as always =)
