Lush Tropical Fall Wedding At Bel Air Bay Club

Hilary and Alex met on their 2nd day of college in 2006 and instantly felt as though they’d known each other their whole lives. Over the next decade, this incredible couple became inextricably woven into each other’s lives spending time with family, traveling, and supporting each other’s impressive career goals. While Alex dreamed up amazing new technology (he sold his aptly named technology “Alexa” to Amazon right before proposing), Hilary worked incredibly diligently to earn her PHD …

Citrus Colored Ojai Wedding

We're happy to share with you one of our Los Angeles team's weddings from March in Ojai. The modern minimalist design is bright with happy pops of yellow and orange on a neutral palette which brought the sun to a surprisingly rainy day in Ojai. The rain may have poured, but the amazing crew of vendors pulled out all the stops to put emergency rain plans into action to give Jessie and John a beautiful wedding day…

Black + Pink Modern Northwest Tropical

We love designing parties of all shapes and sizes, but definitely have a soft spot for small, intimate affairs! Black Door PDX, Portland, Oregon’s newest intimate event space, is the perfect spot to host a myriad of petite events and we were so thrilled to have the first opportunity to showcase just how amazing this space can be. The high-end, modern aesthetic inspired the details of this inspirational shoot.

Bright Modern Glamping Island Wedding

Destination weddings are always a special opportunity for couples to have a memorable experience with their friends and family in a place and setting that is special. Caitlin and Colin wanted to create a welcoming and fun celebration in the woods with their family and friends. With a high focus on guest experience and beautiful design, we created a day that was uniquely them with modern design, live music, a ceremony in the trees, and…

Purple Rain Themed Holiday Party

A number of us LA vendors decided to blow off some post wedding season steam by throwing the most fun party of the year: the annual DART Collective ‘Party Down’ holiday shindig. The theme was wild and challenged us to unearth the most fun and conceptual elements of the late 80’s and early 90’s aesthetic, and present them in a way that was nostalgically rad and yet not entirely dated…

Pink + Mint Urban Industrial Editorial

We love an excuse to create beauty and great experiences for people. In January we had the opportunity to do both, this time for the Art of Wedding PDX’s Venue Crawl. A group of us creatives designed a mock wedding at the Redd on Salmon in downtown Portland. With bright pops of pastel mint and bubble gum pink in modern designs, we created a fun juxtaposition to the urban industrial feeling of the venue…

Color Block Party

When we sat down to plan this styled shoot, we knew we wanted to aim for something visually striking and even a touch avant garde. Our initial inspiration came from the bold use of colors and playful monochromatic palettes we found in high-fashion shoots and product styling campaigns. Something this daring is rarely represented in the bridal and event design world and we felt inspired and challenged to really push our limits and cross boundaries…

Romantic Neutrals Bel Air Wedding

As planners, it's only natural that we'd say this, but when it comes to aesthetically pleasing events: it's all about the details. Details impart feelings, intention, history, giving your guests not only a wonderful experience but a glimpse into your realm, the things that make you tick. We had a wonderful time planning for Steph and Andrew who were keen to hone in on the details at their Bel Air Bay Club wedding in fall of 2016...

Spring Weddings with the Black Tux

Spring is nearly sprung and we're thrilled with the prospect! We are relieved to see that the longer and warmer days are drawing nearer. We've been planning up a storm all winter for our 2018 (and even a few '19) clients and we've been asked by our clients if we have a stylish menswear vendor. The answer is a big emphatic YES. We've been working with The Black Tux for years now, and we love them…

Moody Blue NW Backyard Wedding

Happy Friday friends! Hopping on the #flashbackfriday bandwagon today, for a glimpse of warmer days last summer. Courtney and Carl tied the knot at the family digs on the water outside the city. The garden and tree filled beachside property was a wonderful backdrop for their fun filled day. Their details and flowers were romantic and the food and music were on point…

Venue Tour Guide

The venue. This is one of the most important elements in the planning process to get right. Each venue has different features, different rules, costs, and different ways of operating. In an ideal world, when planning a wedding, you'd have a planner to guide you through the process of venue selection from the get-go. They would know which venues would be more likely to be in alignment with your needs and desires…

Desert Pink Backyard Wedding

The winter has been long and we're itching for a little warmth, so today we are #TBT 'ing to this sweet, intimate backyard Palm Springs wedding from a few years back. When Jeannie (mom to the talented Jaimi of Fiore Beauty) and her fiance Jeff decided to celebrate their nuptials poolside at their Palm Springs residence, we knew just the team to create a romantic setting for their intimate wedding...
