shelley and tony - private residence, arroyo trabuco

even though i showed a sneak peak of this wedding back in june, i wanted to follow up with more images since amy and maurice over at theorie did such a great job photographing it and there were so many shots to choose from!

shelley's family made this sign and her dad actually BUILT that bridge just for the wedding day!

still LOVING this vintage wallpaper...what a killer shot!

bridesmaids' bouquet of pale pink peonies, roses and tulips...

dying for the random pair of antlers over this garage door!!!

bridal bouquet of creamy garden roses and ivory double tulips, finished in lace to match shelley's dress...

an easy peasy DIY project? upholster a couple styrofoam boards with a fabric of your choice and use floral pins to attach the placecards - thanks to alicia of in the now for working it out on this one!

a couple of white ikea vases each held one large, fluffy pink peony bloom...sometimes its the idea of repetition, using less florals, that really makes a statement vs. one large arrangement...

runners were made out of the black/white/yellow funky, mod theme fabric and placed down the center of the table...

i made the cake base out of styrofoam, wrapped it in theme fabric and added tulips around the base for something a little different...

tablescapes were composed of 7 white ikea vases, each filled with just 3-5 stems of pale pink tulips...again, repetition (using the same flower) can make a BIG statement! and it doesn't have to cost a fortune...

the couple made these adorable "cootie" catcher" menus, which were set at each place setting...

i gotta give a shout to alicia and amanda of in the now weddings and events for being SUCH sweet and fun girls to work with! i just really, really like them :)

also to amy and maurice over at theorie for the killer photos! and to grace at sweet gems for letting me work my magic on her clean, simple cake...she is a doll!
