Cloud Parade

My friends started an AMAZING website.  It’s brilliant.  It’s a place where you can search for inspiration for your wedding and at the same time, actually purchase that inspiration.  It’s called Your Cloud Parade.  They asked me to design a styled shoot to illustrate exactly the way their website works.  Well, of course I will my friends.  I believe in you and this amazing product.

Napoleon Dynamite Wedding

Oh Kim and Robbie.  I LOVE YOU GUYS.  I want to move to Austin and live with you.  With my husband and 3 kids.  I hope that’s ok.

There initial info that they gave me when we started designing was their love for Napoleon Dynamite.  Well, enough said.  Let’s go for it.  All of this quirkiness is JUST SO THEM.  They are inspiring in their love and their never ending personality.  It was like hanging with my friends in Austin.  Oh yeah, and a little work too.

Watercolor Cheese cloth

He is a pediatrician, she is a pharmacist.  In med school they were randomly assigned to the same cardiovascular intensive care unit.  ”It Starts With A Heart”.  Get it? Hundreds of yards of cheesecloth.  Hand dyed in my bathtub.  Laser cut hearts as escort cards pinned to draped dyed cheesecloth.  A parachute hanging from the ceiling.  My favorite part? The massive ceiling installation upstairs in the dance party.  Hundreds of paper wedding bells.  Cheesy and tacky you say?  I say GO BIG OR GO HOME.

Ropes and Rocks Wedding

These two.  What a dynamic pair.  We all fell in love with them from Day 1.  They expressed very early on their love for all things organic and sustainable.  So we held on to that super tightly when designing this killer lovefest.  We decided to bring in lots of succulents, wood, rope and a tad bit of sequins would do the trick.  The overhead rope install for the ceremony might be my favorite design of all time.  And my teams’ LEAST favorite of all time ;)  We also pulled it into the ceiling installation over the dinner area.  We also made them a wooden swing that each guest signed with a wood burner pen and they can hang in there home!  Keyna and Josh, we love you!

Thank you Green Wedding Shoes for the wonderful feature!

Eames Inspired Wedding

Vicky + Mike.  So stylie.  They are majorly inspired by anything Eames.  Anything Mid Century.  And I LOVE LOVE LOVE how much they trusted us to give them that!!  We brought in TONS of Eames inspired fabrics.  We patched them together to create a matching aisle runner and altar installation.  We brought in some amazing vintage Eames cardboard statues for escort cards.  And my favorite detail was the Eames cards “guest book”.  Guests signed a card and added it to the building puzzle.  And yes.  That IS a Tiffany’s box at each place setting.

Thank you to Style Me Pretty for our feature!!!

Friday the 13th Wedding

She is a roller derby star. He is an entrepreneur.  They wed on Friday the 13th.  And so a theme was born.  Lucky cats on the tables, bride on roller skates. A tarot card reader, a cotton candy cart, rockabilly hair.  All in a beautiful mix of black, white and hot pink.  Oh yeah.  And my favorite?  The TOUCH of gold sequins.  Thank you 100 Layer Cake for the feature!

Southwestern Art Deco Shoot

There is too much to say about this one.  Diana with Casa De Perrin asked me to design a shoot for her to display her new Southwestern line of dinnerware.  My obsession.  Of course I died.  And then she put together a DREAM TEAM.  And these pictures from Jose Villa?  I cannot handle it.  That’s why I’m blogging 43 of them.  Sorry I’m not sorry.  This was one of my most favorite creative projects ever, and this team of artists were BEYOND amazing.  Seriously.

Anniversary Milestone Inspiration Shoot

So.  Jasmine Star.  She is my girl. She is also the genius that thought of this concept: basing a wedding design off of the different milestones that mark each wedding anniversary.

This historic origins of wedding anniversaries date back to the Roman Empire, when husbands crowned their wives with a silver wreath on their 25th anniversary and a gold wreath on their 50th.  Since then, more anniversaries began being represented and now it’s commonly held that certain anniversaries are signified by different elements.

The first wedding anniversary is represented by paper and the second is represented by cotton…the wedding invitation is OBVIOUSLY made of paper and also has some cotton made rosettes.

A third wedding anniversary is represented by leather, so the menus were actually leather bands wrapped around the silverware, and we added a leather strap across each triangle plate.  Multi-colored leather chevrons were used as a runner across the table for a vibrant pop to compliment the rustic table top.

The table numbers are a mix of nails and wood, which represent the fifth, sixth and seventh wedding anniversaries (wood, iron and copper) not to mention the wedding guests would be seated at a long wooden table.

The dessert station is a HUGE cluster of pottery which is the symbol for the ninth wedding anniversary.

The ceremony decor was a HUGE tin cross, colorfully highlighted with a little bit of flair, which represents the 10th wedding anniversary!

What do ya think?  Too crazy of an idea???
