Friends we’re going to speak candidly for this post. We can’t play cool and coy over this news, we’re far too excited: WE MADE MARTHA STEWART’S BEST WEDDING PLANNER + DESIGNER LIST!!!!!!!!!! (yes that’s ten exclamation marks, thank you very much). Being shortlisted by Martha Stewart Weddings was (and is) such a big deal to us and it came at the best time…
Read MoreAnyone else feel like this year has passed in blur of 2020 strangeness? We can’t believe Thanksgiving is only a few days away, which means we’re that much closer to all the Black Friday sales. With retail and small businesses struggling in the COVID-19 ridden landscape, we’re more keen than ever to do our best to support the creatives and small businesses this holiday season…
Read MoreWe love Thanksgiving! Partially because it’s an excuse to pull out the ridiculous collection of table top pretties that we’ve hoarded over the years (we’ve got drawers of linens!) but mostly because bringing people together to feast and connect is a huge part of who we are. With COVID-19 still rampaging, our Thanksgiving may be a little smaller than usual but by no means is it going to be any less detailed or delectable.
Read MoreIt’s been 3 years since this wedding (as of last week) and we STILL get so much love on the ‘gram for this one, so we decided that we ought to finally share the whole design concept here on the blog. We love desert destination weddings and this beauty out at Colony 29 was no exception. We had some of our LA friendors out with us, including Inessa Nichols Design doing the florals, the Dart Collective keeping the party vibing…
Read MoreHow fabulous are these two?! When Izak and Danny first reached out to us to plan their destination wedding in Venice, they originally had a micro wedding with only a handful of people in mind. After announcing their plans to marry in Venice, the small elopement quickly turned into a full scale intimate wedding as no one wanted to miss out on the scenery and celebrations in Italy.
Read MoreWe’re suckers for charming venues with intimate spaces and beautiful light, and Faberfarm is just that. It’s a boutique historical exclusive-use venue an hour north of Seattle. The farm, set in idyllic Skagit Valley, boasts a fully restored 1880's white barn and acres of mature gardens with a sweeping picturesque backdrop of fields and…
Read MoreHalloween is just around the corner and if you’re anything like us this year, you may be scrambling to find some COVID-19 friendly spooky holiday fun without the usual parties or trick-or-treating. So we decided to take our dilemma to the inter-web and see what we could conjure up (puns intended). So without further ado, here are some curated collections of All Hallows Eve ideas…
Read MoreWhen we first decided to launch our European destination wedding team, we knew Ireland had to be one of the locations we focused on. The rolling countryside, castles, cliffs and headlands, the welcoming locals with their cozy pubs and their love of the craic (the Gaelic word for social fun, and yes it’s pronounced “crack”) and the ever changing light on the landscape makes beautiful backdrops and an inviting environment to gather…
Read MoreTall pines, colorful wildflowers, a romantic canoe ride and dancing under the stars: Arielle + Bennett’s wedding was a playful and fun summer wedding in the woods that exuded a very Wes Anderson vibe. Arielle (of Arielle Vey Photography) and Bennett live in San Diego but decided to tie the knot back in Arielle’s home state of Washington. They chose Robinswood House in Bellevue (with it’s beautiful gardens and cedar shingled historic building) to host their wedding…
Read MoreWhen it comes to pretty little wedding details, brides can't have all the fun! We designed this styled shoot with gorgeous luxury details that two very stylish grooms might have for a wedding dinner or bachelor party. We were delighted to collaborate with Insta's very own The Gay Beards for this Portland, OR inspiration shoot. They embodied all the fun and style that we were hoping for. The aesthetic is modern pretty with clean lines…
Read MoreEssie has always been a floral lover. For birthdays and special occasions, she always sends friends and family a lovely arrangement. You can say it is her love language. The design concept for this bright and fresh Italian destination wedding started with her love of fresh colorful flowers. It was all about big blossoming blooms. We selected the venue, Masseria Angiulli Piccolo, for its simple architecture and clean white palette…
Read MoreOur brides Victoria and Christina held their weekend long nuptials at the famous Salish Lodge (the location of the original series Twin Peaks) next to the roaring waterfall. The brides wanted a warm, family focused day in an autumnal floral filled woodland wonderland setting. We focused on bringing the beauty of autumn in the Pacific Northwest to the ceremony and reception spaces. The scene of the celebration, amidst the gorgeous falls …
