Wedding Wednesday.... The First Look!



I'm mentioning this "new" wedding tradition because I'm surprised by the amount of people who don't know about a "First Look".

A First Look is a special moment between you and your new husband-to-be..... BEFORE the "I-Do's".
Instead of seeing your new hubs in front of 300 people, you get an intimate moment, with only the photographer there to capture it.

And just look how well it can be captured.



Adore this. Preciousness.


So, what are your thoughts? Is the First Look a do or don't?

Wedding Friday..... Neutrals or Colors?


A few months ago, I posed the question, Are you a Neutralista or a Colorista?
Then, I was talking about interiors.

Now, I want to know your wedding style.

My plan is to have one of my wedding photos taken in the spot above,
at the Parker Palm Springs Hotel.

While I usually think that I'll want a completely neutral palette when I get married, 
this wall and orange doors suggest something different.

I am constantly pouring over wedding photos on blogs and in magazines and I find myself completely taken with the colorful weddings, but also with the muted neutral affairs.

So I ask you, 
Bride's to Be
Former Brides
Someday Brides?


Are you a Neutralista or a Colorista?


Some of my FAVE colorful weddings.....






And some favorite Neutral weddings....





Pick your poison!

Happy 4th!

A very KELLY GREEN Wedding....



Remember my friend Katie that I talked about the other day? She's getting married at a vineyard this June and wants wedding design inspired by the Viceroy Santa Monica.

I was poking around on the internet the other day, trying to find some inspiration for her, and I found a gorgeous wedding done by Birch Design Studio in Chicago. 

This wedding was held at the History Museum in Chicago and was inspired by the Viceroy!
How perfect!


I love that they got married under this Hollywood Regency tent. 


 These green flower letters are fabulous too.
 The fern fronds in the black acrylic vase add drama at minimal cost.


Love this little white seating area.


Katie is thinking about using the white linens that her venue provides.
I think she could spice up the linens with runners made from one of these Calico Corners fabrics.






 These black ceramic vases from WholesaleFloral.com are under $5! 
Perfect for adding a modern touch to flowers!




These cakes could all work seemlessly with the decor


Love this poster from Etsy to lean on the cake table


 This set-up would be great outside in a cocktail area


This would be beautiful for her bridal bouquet


 and for the bridesmaids....

All these flower arrangements would work perfectly for the table






Love these garlands across the ceremony chairs


Since they're getting married at a vineyard, I love wine bottles as table numbers
The crisp black and white labels are SO CHIC.


These are pretty for the entryway tables


I love this for the table setting. The green pear adds a fresh, organic element.


For a seating area, she could consider renting a tufted love seat like this....

paired with two lack tables from IKEA



 with fun little flower arrangements on the table. This one has coffee beans!



 Katie always has the most unique, beautiful shoes....
I can so see these under her wedding dress...

Love these for Bridesmaid's Kicks.
