When Camille contacted us over the summer to design a custom pillow for her wedding, I was beyond pumped when she told me there were four flower girls and a ring bearer. Then when she told me the wedding was in Napa Valley at Beaulieu Vineyard, I really about died (if you have followed this blog for a while, you know I am totally smitten with vineyard weddings).
Camille’s wedding was predominantly white, but had splashes of gold/yellow and green. To correspond with her vision, we took one of our classic, traditional pillows (Marie) and swapped the ivory grosgrain ribbon for a mustard yellow ribbon trim. We then topped the pillow with a silk flower in the color “Pearl.” As for the four flower girls, we had corresponding silk flowers on gold headbands.
I’ve been really anxious to see the photos from the wedding in September. I’ve tried to remain patient (a virtue I do not possess), and when I came home late last week to see Camille’s email in my inbox, I had the biggest surprise of all. Camille, clearly is a stylish gal (c’mon…a Vineyard wedding!) but when I saw the photographer’s name, this was when I had my “died and gone to heaven” moment: Elizabeth Messina.
Below are a few photos captured by the beyond talented Elizabeth Messina.
Isn’t Camille absolutely gorgeous? I am in love with these photos, and hope to have more to share with you in the coming months. Thank you, thank you to Camille for sharing…and to the phenomenal talents of Elizabeth Messina for these breathtaking images.
To say I have been looking forward to receiving pictures from Molly’s wedding is an understatement. I have been chomping at the bit waiting for these images!
Molly is the stylish owner of the Tampa Bella Bridesmaid, so I’d been working with her for a few months before she contacted us for product for her wedding. Imagine my delight when she told me she wanted three wands and a pillow – I had cuteness overload imagining the precious little ones walking down the aisle.
Sure enough, once Molly passed along her photos to me, I was in love instantly. Her photos are like fine art, captured by the talented Parker J Pfister. And, to add even more to my delight was the tremendous number of photos captured of the little ones!
Isn’t Molly absolutely stunning? Gorgeous! Congrats and thank you so much for sharing these, and for Parker J Pfister for sharing his beautiful talent.
WeTV is currently casting couples in Southern California who are looking for a wedding “do over.” One of the casting producers called us on Friday to share news about the new show – a wedding show with a twist.
Life happens…and it doesn’t slow down or become “perfect” just because it’s your wedding day. Whether your husband-to-be suddenly gets scheduled to be deployed overseas the week of the wedding (and you rush to the court house for a civil service), you have a skin allergy or food allergy outbreak the morning of the wedding, or a hurricane blows through, tearing down your venue just before the wedding. It happens!
WeTV understands this, and wants to give lucky couples the chance for that wedding of their dreams – minus the disaster!
As many of you already know, Melanie and I are styling a wedding for a dear family friend. Kristy has been the equivalent of a little sister to me – I began babysitting her when I was 11 years old. I guess it was more “playing” than babysitting, but we always had a blast. With so many memories and history behind us, it’s so exciting to work with her and Robert to design their wedding.
A few weekends ago we got together with SarahQ Photography to shoot their engagement photos. We selected two locations: the first was a dirt road near a stable where Kristy’s mom used to keep her horse, and our second location was in downtown San Antonio at the Japanese Tea Gardens (this is the place Robert proposed).
Two main things quickly became aware as I was selecting photos for this blog post: 1) I’m glad I’m not a photographer and 2) I’m glad these aren’t my engagement photos. Why? Because selected photos is near impossible! There are so many gorgeous photos, I’d have to purchase every single one and place them all over my house. I cannot even imagine how incredible the wedding photos will be in June!
Enough banter…let’s get to the amazing photos, from the lovely SarahQ.
We love providing product for styled photo shoots. There are so many talented stylists, designers, photographers, etc in the wedding industry. So, you can imagine our excitement when the photos below were returned to us, featuring our hair petals!
Thanks to the entire team in Georgia who pulled this lovely shoot together! More photos for the entire shoot available on 100 Layer Cake.
