These rediculously cute lovebirds met in the college housing at the University of Kansas.  Susan first saw him during ‘game night’ in the halls, then later recognized him amongst hundreds of people in her Intro to Journalism class.  Susan says, ‘When the teacher told us to form groups for the semester, I immediately hunted him down, thinking that if I paired up with a neighbor, I wouldn’t have to travel far to work on projects!’  After the class was over, they continued to get together for ‘Journalism Movie Nights,’ which were really just an excuse to hang out.  After a year and a half of will-they-won’t-they tension Susan and Nick finally ended up together—and never looked back.  Revel in the fresh palette and sweetness of their wedding day with these blissful photographs by Jackie Cooper Photo!

It was an all-out summer celebration; the coral, teal and yellow palette- a fresh nod to the hot day in Kansas. Their ultimate goal was to throw a colorful, bold party; a reunion of sorts for their college friends.  The bride wore an ultra-feminine, sweetheart neckline gown by Wtoo, while the maids mixed and matched in teal frocks from the Jim Hjelm Occasions Collection.  Bursts of white hydrangea bouquets for the bridesmaids and a coral garden rose bouquet for the bride were the perfect complement!

There’s nothing like ringing in spring than with a teal, pink and sweet peach palette.  This dose of charming translates so beautifully, with a designer’s dream collaboration of  warm and cool hues.  Our friends over at REVEL put together this pretty concept, and needless to say we’re swooning.  Love it?  See more teal, peach and pink inspiration at REVEL, including matching (and shop-able) items for this color palette!

A few weeks ago, I headed to Malibu to hang out with Jen Huang and a group of her fabulous workshop attendees.  Naturally, on the docket was a gorgeous little photoshoot with some of the best creatives around:  Poppies & Posies, My Sweet and Saucy, and Paperfinger.  What a dream…

Inspired by color, culture, and art… here’s a peek at the shoot, but the full gallery of photos can be found here.Aude and Gilles are a darling couple… full of love and affection.  Aude was styled in simple, flowing Ivy & Aster dress {Via Lovely Bride} and an amazing boho-chic headpiece by Jennifer Behr.  Gilles looked so handsome in a bowtie by Boutaugh. Aude makes such an incredibly pretty bride.  Jess Wilcox styled her soft waves and vibrant red lipstick to complement the relaxed, colorful setting.  (Definitely a pinworthy look)!  Below: the table spread.  Paperfinger calligraphed menus and table numbers inside organic, watercolor frames.  The centerpiece overflowed with colorful florals, including big bright peonies and golden ranunculus. Just can’t get enough of that rich palette! 

The afternoon was topped off by an oh-so-perfect, marvel of a masterpiece by My Sweet and Saucy.

Thanks so much to the very talented and very kind Jen, and this incredible team:
