I am so excited to share with you all today one of my favorite weddings for 2010 that took place at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay, CA! Amy and Jeff are the cutest couple who were high school sweet hearts and more than 10 years later, they finally decided to tie the knot and we were so honored to be their planner and designer for such a momentous day. The theme for their wedding was modern elegance with lots of crystals, glass and butterflies. With a color palette of purple and pink, we were able to create something that we personally loved that the couple and guests enjoyed as well! Amy and Jeff, thank you so much for allowing us the pleasure to be a part of your special day, we cherished the planning process with the both of you and more importantly, dearly cherish the friendship that we now have! Your wedding was more beautiful than words!

I love the look of geometrics in a wedding, it adds an element of modern beauty into the day and it’s not hard to do. Many people might shy away from it, fearing that the look would be too bold, but here are my tips of using this great trend as part of your wedding design without having it be over-powering. You’ll see that it’s quite lovely!

Invitations are the first thing that your guests will see, it’s their first opportunity of getting a glimpse of what your wedding day will be like and the style that they will see. Love using geometrics as an accessory to the invitation suite by using it as an envelope liner and band.

Finding a venue that already has geometric architecture is definitely a plus for any wedding! It makes for beautiful photos!

It’s all in the details! Find geometrics to use for your photos, it doesn’t have to be part of your decor, but accents that you find from where you are getting ready makes for great “getting ready” accessory photos. Also use as a subtle accent for other areas such as your escort card display!

Fun cocktail decor anyone?

The greatest trend in having modern tablescapes is to have geometric table runners, love these! Also love the petal cones that match the runner!

This tablescape is just dreamy and a great way to soften up the look of geometrics is to have the geometric design in a lighter color palette.

The geometrics doesn’t stop only at linens and accents, apply it to your cake as well to finish the look!

Seeing visions of geometrics and accents of mod yet? Happy Monday!

Peacock Inspired Weddings

Happy Wednesday everyone, I have a very special Wednesday addition to share with you all…please join me in welcoming one of the newest members of our team, our intern, Mellissa! She will be sharing her weekly inspirations every Wednesday so check in to see what she’s dreaming and envisioning of each week. Without further ado, here’s Mellissa!

Hello all, writing this blog entry is one of my very first assignments so I hope that you enjoy it! To learn more about all the different details that go into wedding planning, I spent several hours browsing through wedding planning sites. One thing that really stuck out to me was peacock themed weddings. I love the beautiful and vibrant colors and the combination of colors just go absolutely perfect together (well, in my opinion that is). Peacock feathers are so elegant and unique, they can be used to accent just about anything. It’s important to stick to one color theme when inspired by peacocks, otherwise you might go overboard with it! Here are some peacock inspirations that I’m loving right now.

Here’s a combination of different accessories that will go for a peacock themed wedding, it encompasses everything from shoes, jewelry, bridesmaid dresses to ceremony decor. I love the bright colors, they’re so fun!

Here are some lovely accents for the reception. Look at this gorgeous cake! It’s from our very own San Franciscan Cake Extraordinaire, Gabby of Cake Coquette!

I hope you enjoyed my inspirations of a Peacock Themed Wedding, till next Wednesday!
