Peony Punch!

Such a bright summer day deserved a bright palette!

Monnee & Kentson went for a fun, fresh spring has sprung into summer color scheme with all the trim- it was a blast to work with her creative detailing as you can see :)

Bride & Bridesmaids in candy coated pinks and reds with that fresh burst of green, softened by ruffly dusty miller around the edges..

Daytime lanterns reveals their cute colors and floral patterns, keeping the sweet playful theme from top to bottom.

Kentson's boutonniere of candyland pink ranunculus and bursting red hypericum berries..

Flower Girl!! Q-T Pie!! Pink ranunculus and red ribbon streamers can't even compete with her adorable ric-rak adorned dress and big-girl-pearl bracelet, so cute!

Along the aisle, petite mason jars were filled with dahlias, hydrangea, and pink spray roses.

Monnee's 2 bridesmaids carried white hydrangea punctuated by delicious red dahlias in a cuff of silvery dusty miller and hidden pink bouvardia.

For Monnee herself, a fluff of pink peonies in every shade with their ruffly petals and pink ranunculus to boot!

Adorable Ring Bearer pillow and bitty boutonniere of fuzzy green dianthus and a pink ranunc.

Groomsmen & family were doted on with blush dendrobium orchids and red berries.

One of those cute details I alluded to... Super sweet vintage lunch tote in suitcase style to hold memorabilia and love notes signed by guests for M & K.

Precious rose blooms potted in biodegradable coir pots put together by Monnee and her friends- DIY at it's best.

Love under the evening lights in the tent at Orfila Winery..

I just want to say Well Done xo! to Monnee for taking a palette and expanding its potential beyond what others might have imagined belonged only to Valentines or Christmas. Truly, the sweet colors and freshness make her lovely vision work very well. In addition, she is a lovely person to know- You can read her blog and see more photos of the whole process and day, as well as life beyond the wedding here~ Pink Argyle http://pinkargyle.blogspot.com

Purple Purple Purple

It's everywhere you look- Purple!! Bonnie & Marty knew it would be a hit color and they were not disappointed.. there are so many ways to love purple, and theirs was very sweet.

I love how happy they are!! Bonnie's bouquet was a stylized gathering of white and purple miniature calla lilies surrounded by a cuff of lisianthus buds- it fit her personality perfectly!

Groomsmen boutonnieres of single "Cool Water" roses with lisi buds...

..And the Groom with his purple mini-calla to match his Bride.

And All That Jazz...

Inspired by the Great Gatsby era and all it's glitz married with non-chalance, the lovely herself Jessica Beltran of Moira Events conspired with Non Pariel Magazine to create a soothing afternoon on the glade. What follows is our contribution to what was a ethereal, yet bookish affair. Captured precisely by Sara France Photography, you can see it all as published with the words which set it in motion.

Magnolia blossoms set in a champagne tower.. sparkles of L O V E on antique mirrored furnishings.

Tickle those keys with music and my cheek with the softness of feathers and dusty miller..

White majolica roses exude grace, while sequin trims and blue velvet hint at the opulence we love to indulge :)

Glittered by hand, the perfect tiffany aqua bright to light up the fashionably cool chromatic table..

Absolutely gorgeous stationery suite by Chelle Paperie..

If anyone asks, I'm on the veranda with my gramophone spinning and blueberries to stain my fingers, letting my heart run back to that day and time when the living was breezy.
