Laced with Love

I am totally crazy for anything with lace embellishments because it not only gives the feeling of old world elegance and romance (such as from the Marie Antoinette Era), it also has the ability to give off a very soft and sweet feeling like the shabby chic style that so many of us love! It is only fitting that we are starting the week off right with beautiful and sensuous things by giving an ode to lace, inspired decor and accents. Happy Monday!

Wild for Wildflowers

It was really hot today in Benin, W. Africa and on this hot and humid day, I found myself standing by the side of the road for the second time today due to a second flat tire. What are the odds! We had already used up the spare tire so we had to wait as one of the people in our party played hero in running into the next nearest town to purchase a new tire. As I stood by the road with my ipod on, the most beautiful field of wildflowers greeted me and the serenity of nature itself and the nearby goats grazing had me awestruck with a sudden craving for wildflowers! My post today is inspired by the field that greeted me and pure wildflower decadence that is naturally breathtaking!

Here is the field of wildflowers that inspired it all:

Here are the pretty inspirations of Wildflowers dancing in my mind:

Hope that you now have dreams of wildflowers dancing in your mind as well =) Happy Tuesday!

Ivane and Alex married at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental, San Francisco

We had one of the most AMAZING weddings over the weekend that featured our new Mr. and Mrs. Alex and Ivane Beregovsky at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental in San Francisco, CA. I absolutely loved working with Ivane on her wedding day because she was so excited and enthusiastic about her wedding and all the little details that would make it the perfect wedding that it was. Ivane is the type of bride that would get anyone excited about love and getting married and that’s one of the things that I loved most about her. Here are some photos from my camera of their day, we can’t wait to see the official photos from their photographer, Kinsley Wong!

For the Sign in Table, Ivane made her own quilt that was accented with flowers made out of ribbon, isn’t it adorable?

Guests were encouraged to sign “The Book of Travel” in lieu of a traditional guestbook, I loved this.

Wallet Size photos of the Bride and Groom’s Engagement Session were given out at the Sign In Table.

Ivane and Alex were married at the glorious Room of the Dons in front of family and friends. It was gorgeous!

How gorgeous is this Ceremony Room? Our friends from Poppy’s Petalworks did an amazing job with the floral design and the Chuppah was radiantly luminated.

Cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres were held at the Lobby Terrace and just look at this Welcome Table “Wow Factor” by Poppy’s Petalworks! This absolutely stole the night!

Favors were placed around the Floral “Wow Factor”.

The Dinner Reception was held in the grand Peacock Court and it was absolutely perfect with the blue lighting.

Blue Tissue Flowers were wrapped around each guest’s napkins. All of the tissued flowers were made by the Bride herself!

Ivane and Alex’s reception featured two different table designs, both had the tall vases with floating red orchids in them and half of them had the luscious red pomander balls sitting atop the vases. This is love.

The Bride and Groom sat at their own sweetheart table in front of their guests. I loved the floral design behind their table, it gave the whole design a European flair!

The Bride’s gorgeous bouquet and the floral design on the Sweetheart Table.

Ivane and Alex are a couple that LOVE to dance. Not only did they dance into the reception, they couldn’t stop dancing the whole night! Below is just a peak of their First Dance.

Ivane and Alex had a giant cupcake as their cake. Isn’t it so cute?

Guests were offered a Dessert Bar that included individually packed treats of macaroons, chocolates and cakes. Cupcakes of the couple’s first initials were also served at the Dessert Bar.

Ivane also had a photobooth for their guests to take pictures in. They brought these fun props below and I can tell you that the photobooth was a definite hit. There was not a time where the photobooth didn’t have a line.

Here is a photo of the Bride and Groom in the photobooth. I love this picture because this picture alone sums up the couple.

The BIGGEST congratulations to Ivane and Alex, it was so much fun being your planner, I absolutely loved your enthusiasm of love for each other!
