* Fashion Find: Eco-Luxe + Vintage-Inspired Pretties

Posted on June 30th, 2011 by Kate. Filed under Wedding Dress.


I’m sooo excited about discovering London-based designer Minna!  Her wedding collection is a representation of two of my passions… eco-fashion and, of course, vintage-inspired beauty.  Even with the exchange rate, these pretties are still super-affordable, but full of rich, luxe style.

Gorgeous, right?! Stay tuned for her new bridal + headpiece collection due out in August…♥

* Just Love.

When we caught these pics over at Kiss the Groom yesterday, we thought this was a love (and collection of gorgeous images) that had to be shared. Elizabeth Messina captured the engagement of the talented and extraordinary wedding documentarians, Jose Villa and Joel Serrato. Perfection.

Sending our love and congratulations, friends… Thanks for sharing this blissful shoot! xo

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes from our archives, and I think it’s just perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday, or, of course, for a summery party or wedding.  These delish raspberry and pear mini pies were dreamed up by culinary genius Aran Goyoaga of Canelle et Vanille.  Get the recipe {here}!

Morgan and Seth’s North Carolina nuptials look like so much fun!  It was a DIY type of day at Shady Wagon Farm, the wedding was full of sweet, personal touches.  A special thanks to Brett Arthur Weddings for sharing the pics with us.  Our faves: mix and match navy bridesmaid dresses, vibrant and colorful bouquets, the sweet reception set-up, and a gelato bar!

* Friday Find: Buntings, Poms, and Flags, Oh My!

Posted on June 24th, 2011 by Kate. Filed under Things we heart.


I came across the cutest etsy shop today: stephlovesben.  Totally totally adorable.  Stephanie, the crafty gal behind this shop, makes all sorts of buntings, signs, poms and fun dessert flags.  My faves:  mini vintage fabric cake bunting, felt poms, and  the gold glitter cupcake flag.

♥Have a happy and light-hearted weekend♥

* Modern Wedding by Day, Disco by Night

Nancy and David’s chic, modern Vancouver wedding at Crab Park transitioned flawlessly into a fabulous disco reception at Iron Works Studio.  We’re totally impressed with the ingenuity that went into planning this unique day!  There are so many things to love about this real wedding: the bride’s adorable shrug, mini disco ball décor accents, and the couple’s ultra-70′s reception get-up!  Photos by the talented Melody Davis.
