Rita and Hayden’s wedding was the first wedding of the 2011 year, and it has finally made it on the blog!  As many of you may or may not know, we are go-go-go all year long with weddings, so when things finally begin to slow down over the Winter months, we begin to reflect back on the year, get in touch with photographers who magically captured the beauty of each event, and we start to share all of the exciting designs from the year with you!

This wedding was so beautiful, classy and timeless.  Rita was such a pleasure to work with; she was absolutely a sweetheart, and was lovely to collaborate on this wedding with, along with the girls of Fearon May Events.  Rita and Hayden were married at The Sutter Club in downtown Sacramento, a beautiful historical building that has so much character and beautiful touches! The Studio took all of the  images you see displayed on our blog, so please enjoy!

Rita’s bouquet was designed with all miniature calla lilies.  She was looking for a simple, classic look, and this was the perfect choice for her to carry.

The ceremony took place indoors underneath the doorway of two rooms adjoining.  Both Hayden and Rita’s closest family and friends surrounded them on all sides to be a part of the beautiful ceremony.  Crystals and pomanders hung from the doorway draped down over the couple during the ceremony.

With long banquet tables for guest seating, we varied tall and short centerpieces throughout the room.  Tall silver candelabras with white and red flowers were spaced evenly throughout the room with red votives and shorter versioned centerpieces.  Flowers used included white hydrangea, red anemones, and red ranunculus.

Tall silver candelabras from our inventory with crystals make for the perfect height addition to your tables.

Square silver vases were used for the short tables to save room on the banquet tables.  Red glass votives were the perfect ‘pop’ of color to the tables.

Smaller centerpieces for guest tables with white and red flowers.

I am hoping to have more lovely content to share with you all as we get more images in from events from the 2011 year, so stay tuned and hold tight for some amazing posts to come!

Amanda and Alex celebrated their wedding day with their close family and friends at the Old Sugar Mill this September.  It was such a pleasure and honor to work with such a sweet person!  Working with Aimee of 2Chic Events and Design, Amanda’s day came together beautifully! I think you’ll just love this modern purple-inspired wedding!  Special thanks to Jessica of Stout Photography for the gorgeous images!

You might remember Amanda’s bouquet from an early photograph I captured…

The bridesmaid’s wore beautiful orchid purple dresses.

The couple married under the arch in the back of the Old Sugar Mill.  A chandelier from The Find Rentals hung in the center of the arch.  Floral accents were placed on the arch to add some additional color.

Uplighting of purples from SJ’s Disc Jockey added a fun element to the room.

Centerpieces were created in all white glass containers with purple, magenta and green florals. Magenta crushed linens were used for the tables.

What do you think?  Do you love this look?

If you love a soft, dreamy look for your wedding, you might just be in love after seeing this styled inspirational shoot!  The overall design and idea behind this shoot was to make a ‘fantasy-like’ day.  With tulle ‘poof balls’ and hanging umbrellas… this is just the beginning!

Featured on Ruffled blog, one of my favorite places to point brides to for inspiration, the details are just so opulent!  We worked alongside Coquette Events who brought all of the details and day of planning together for these dreamy photos taken by Tinywater Photography.

Typically, tulle isn’t the most err.. modern element we see in weddings these days; however, en masse, it can make a dramatic and romantic look!  We also hung these tulle balls with the umbrellas (from fishing line) to add color above our dessert station.

The flowers for the bridal bouquet consisted of dahlias, lisianthus, brunia & ranunculus to name a few.  The overall look is texture rich and whimsical.

Small touches such as this textured pillow and the curl leaf flatware added to the opulence of this table display.  The linens… Wildflower linens, need I say more.  With a dusty blue tone and gold metallic detailing.  For reference it is called Gatsby Aqua… don’t you love that!
