Space Invader Baby Shower

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

I helped with this AMAZING baby shower thrown by a RAD group of wedding industry gals for my good friend Carissa, from JL Designs.  I am seriously blown away by how talented my friends are.  This shower makes me so happy.  Carissa decided on a subtle robot theme for her nursery, so her and Leila ran with that when designing all of the details.  It is so over the top amazing.  Can’t stand it.

Balloons and Biplanes

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Balloons.  Biplanes. Clouds. Cotton balls.  SO FUN.  I loved this wedding and this bride and groom!!!  Maps were used and folded to create paper airplane programs.  Covered the aisle runner in cotton for the girls to walk down on clouds.  Made a backdrop for the ceremony of cotton “jet stream” that spelled out LOVE.  Mini hot air balloons led guests to their seats where they found delicious chocolate toffee bars and a biplane table number :)  The flowers were resting in baskets covered in “clouds”.  It was all so poofy and fun!  Enjoy their story!

Be sure to check out our feature on Grey Likes Weddings!  So honored!!!!

Beatles Inspired Wedding Part II

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

All they need is love.  And believe me, they HAVE it.  Love these two and LOVE their wedding design.  Carmen and Pete’s favorite Beatles album covers were the table names, old tape cassettes had each guests’ album name on it for them to match to the table name.  We created a large music bar and had music notes for guests to sign and add to the bar.  A large Beatles cutout gave fun facts about Carmen and Peter and also told guests the menu for the evening.  The menu (deliciousness) was provided by Eco Caters who offers all organic and sustainable catering.  Late night partying brought the guests a surprise performance by Al Stewart and late night tacos by King Taco and a fun performance by a Beatles cover band, The Backbeats!

Catch up with Part I, then enjoy the REST of their story!

Beatles Inspired Wedding PART I

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

The Shugar’s.  What can I say about these two?  So much life, so much fun, so much LOVE.  They are near and dear to my heart. Because of their amazing spirits, there was a meaning behind EVERYTHING we did.

Carmen + Pete’s nickname. The first three letters “S-H-U” come from Pete’s last name. The last three letters “G-A-R” come from Carmen’s last name. Hence, “ShuGar!” or “sugar” :)

They both share a love of music and film.  Their favorite band?  Yup, The Beatles.

To show their love of film, guests waved a flag made from movie film, which unraveled to spell out, “It’s for reel!”

The flowers on Carmen’s bouquet were made from music sheet paper from the Beatles song “Anytime at All” which Pete sang to Carmen as he proposed. Each bout for the groomsmen + groom was made from vintage atlas map paper from different cities they have visited or would like to go.

The best part?  The girls carried red tamborines instead of bouquets:)  And the guys danced down the aisle with marachas.  I told you it was FUN!!!

Thank you SO MUCH to Jen for featuring this sweet wedding on Green Wedding Shoes!  Check back for Part II!
