This wedding is the bee’s knees.  Seriously.  The muted color palette, the bountiful florals, the very handsome bride and groom (who look so utterly happy)…. Oh, and of course.. the always fresh and awe-inspiring photography by Jen Huang.  So. In. Love.

This week we’ve featured Christie and David’s love story as our real wedding of the week!  The couple met on eHarmony.com.  After their first meal together at a Burbank café, the two knew there was something special.  Two and a half years later, David proposed to Christie during a hot air balloon ride overlooking California wine country.  They planned their vineyard wedding in five months, and the result was an utterly romantic and intimate day.

I thought Kristie and Matt’s wedding was such perfect inspiration for the bride who wants an ultra-feminine color palette with understated, elegant style. The gorgeous couple met at a coffeehouse six years prior to marrying in a romantic wedding at a California vineyard.  See the full photo spread and story in our Real Wedding gallery this week!

If you’re as inspired by {this wedding} as I am, you might be plotting how to have your wedding in a gorgeous vineyard or romantic winery…

At the minimum, you can incorporate foodie-type favors into your reception celebration.  Here are some classic ideas from the favor shop:

Row 1: Bamboo Cheese Board, Vintage Reserve Cheese Spreader Row 2: Wine Cork Escort Card/Photo Holder, Olive Tray Row 3: Natural Bamboo Coasters, Chrome Bottle Stopper

I love the idea of doing half cheese board favors and half olive trays, or some other combination, so that couples can take home two unique gifts!  {Thru Sunday, take 10% off all favors in the shop!}

The high art of film photography seems so rare these days, in a world of digital…well everything.  I really enjoy Angie Silvy’s work and was thrilled when she sent over a gorgeous wedding she photographed at Jax Vineyards.  Kim + Brandt’s earthy fall wedding is our Real Wedding of the Week!
