I love this color palette because it’s bold and soft at the same time. The softness of the blush highlighted by the deepness of the black creates such chicness. This arrangement is so pretty with the dark floral centers.

I loved how different Alexis and Sean’s wedding was. Her non-traditional dress and shoes, the wheat bouquet and decorations, hand-arranged centerpieces, cheese station and lots of cupcakes! So I’m so happy that The Knot has decided to feature them in their newest Spring/Summer 2010 issue. They created a special section about weddings in the Wine Country. Alexis and Sean’s wedding took place at the B.R.Cohn Winery in Sonoma. It’s a great winery that produces olive oil so the reception takes place in their olive grove (and their 25 yr balsamic vinaigrette is to die for!), and the wedding team on-site are a dream to work with. Here is their wedding feature:

I’ve wanted to blog about this pretend-wedding for a long time now, and now I’m finally doing it! It’s exactly MY kind of wedding. Not too formal, but filled with amazing details and whimsical colors. A lot of you may have already seen this photoshoot already because it was featured in the Brides Northern California Fall/Winter 2009 issue. And it was a collaboration of some of my favorite wedding people in Northern California like Lisa Lefkowitz, Nancy Liu Chin & Gloria Wong. If this doesn’t inspire you, I really don’t know what will! I can look at these pictures all day long ~ Amazing job ladies!!

How cute these fabric pouches are by Bird & Banner! They make the invitation so much more fun and something you’d want to keep forever. Not only did they use the fun orange fabric on the invitations, little fabric details were used on the menus and other paper goods too! Check out more pictures on 100 Layer cake
Orange makes such a great wedding color! Playful and whimsical!
Jcrew keeps coming up with better and better wedding dresses, I’m very impressed. This one is sorta dreamy and romantic. Even though the cut is simple, there’s something unique about it. Nicely done.. again Jcrew!!

These days, a lot of couples either don’t want to spend money making save-the-dates or want to go the green route by not sending out more paper goods. Save-the-dates can be a great place to be creative and have fun, and they don’t have to relate to the wedding theme. Instead of sending out an ecard/evite or even an email, there are ways to make paperless save-the-dates fun and memorable. This one I love! Isn’t it adorable?

Where there are wedding pictures, there will be kissing pictures. And good kissing pictures make good pictures to frame! I remember when my hubby and I took our engagement pictures and were asked to kiss a hundred times, we were really shy at first but then we got so used to it our lips were numb! hahaha nah, it wasn’t THAT bad. Ann Hamilton (our wedding photographer) made it very comfortable for us, and she was so easy to work with. So with a great photographer, pictures come out more relaxed and natural and they can catch the sweetest of moments in an image.
Here are some really sweet kissing pictures taken by Elizabeth Messina of Kiss the Groom
She has a bunch of melt-your-heart kissing pictures as you can tell from the name of her blog. So make sure you check it out!
I’m loving the colors in this bouquet! I always say that yellow and pink are my favorite colors, but who knew they’d look so good together.
