So happy to spend this little time off before Christmas blogging the rest of my 2015 events! I had such a wild, quick, busy, but FUN {first} year doing wedding florals/planning/styling and at times I felt on top of the world! And others, so low that I didn't think I would ever get back up. It's all part of learning, failing, growing. With that being said, Kaylie + Cory's wedding was one I was so proud to be a small part of. It is mirrored in my 2016 goals because of it's authenticity, intimacy, simplicity, and gorgeousness. The bride and groom, and all their guests and loved ones were there for exactly the right reason… to witness Cory marry Kaylie in front of God.
Kaylie chose the FABULOUS Jennifer Blair Photography to capture her wedding day and I don't know how that little blondie is able to capture every special moment so flawlessly, but she does! Can't wait to work with her again! Thank you to the lovely Sarah Bretz for assisting with this wedding!

I love reliving this special day through these perfect photos! Kaylie was a stunning bride, and their day just radiates joy! She has become such a good friend of mine and I can't wait to see where their marriage journey takes them. She's also a kickass photographer herself and I can't wait for more fun weddings together. All the best wishes to this sweet couple!
This wedding can also be seen in Style Me Pretty.

Let me start by saying FINALLY! I am so happy to finally get to share details from Anne + Garrett's beautiful Shady Canyon wedding. I went to high school with Anne and while I was ditching track practice for Sprinkles Cupcakes (sorry Coach), Anne was breaking records. I was so happy to see Anne had met her match was intentionally planning her wedding from San Fran!
Anne first came to me to ask a few questions about stationery and wedding invitations. She had found a suite that she loved, but wasn't blown away after seeing the samples. Anne showed me what she was looking at and asked if I could help her decide if it was a good choice or not. I was honest with Anne, as a friend and not a client. She was about to pay a custom price tag on a non-custom invitation suite! I told her what I could potentially do for her and we began working together. I am so happy she asked me to do her paper goods! Anne had a great vision for her wedding day, with the perfect balance of traditional elegance (family style dining and attention to their guest's comfort) with modern flare (subtle floral accents at every corner and signature Moscow Mules at the cocktail hour). Anne took her plans seriously, and proofed her designs carefully while keeping me informed of her wedding plans, which made the design process more cohesive. Her and Garrett were a joy to work with and I was happy to see how wonderful their day turned out! See all the paper goods and details below.

I know… words do not do this wedding justice! The Grovers (Troy Grover Photography) did an amazing job capturing their day. For their paper, VAD designed and coordinated their stationery and paper goods. Letterpress printing by Patrick Masterson, Calligraphy by Southern Calligraphy, Vintage Stamps from Verde Studio, Twine by Paper Phine. Anne created custom olive oil escort cards for her guests that doubled as favors! One of my favorite ideas yet, unique but still cohesive with bread at each setting from the couple's favorite bakery!
