Ok, so I know it's September. And in March, I solemnly swore I would blog weekly. Or at least bi-monthly. And then wedding season began and it's been a whirl-wind of debating shades of coral vs salmon, finding the perfect silk for bouquet binding, searching for stripes, hunting for vintage glass, scouring the valley for barnwood. The result? GORGEOUS weddings, elated brides and a very neglected blog. Sooooo on this quiet, not quite fall day, I'll be doing a little back-tracking, posting some of my favorite events from the spring and summer...or as I like to say, Sprummer
I had the pleasure of collaborating with the fabulous Soiree Productions for this wedding in early April. When Kristin called me and asked me to channel my, 'it's cold but I'm ready for Spring' vibe I was happy to oblige. With Kristin's amazing taste, the bride and groom's easy going personality and my attention to detail (nice way of saying I'm overly picky), the result was stunning. Working with lots of candle light, bright apple greens, soft creamy ivories, spring bulbs, natural wood and custom iron chandeliers This wedding had sparkle and life. And convinced me to put my boots away.
So the St. Regis. WOW! I have to tell you, I feel kind of famous when I set up an event there. I flounce around in my armani sunglasses and uncomfortable yet fabulous shoes. And then I remember that I am the hired help and I still have dozens of boxes to unload. Who cares! I still love it! It GORGEOUS there! This was such a fun wedding to design. My pictures don't do this wedding justice. Wait til you see Pepper's shots, AMAZING!! I'll post those soon.
Rustic BBQ's need love too! This was fun. The beautiful Mount Timpanogas was my back drop and rustic was my theme so we brought lots of fat sunflowers and yummy artichokes and paired them with hand thrown clay pots and barnwood boxes and kerosene lanterns. Not too fussy, not too plain.
I love my brides. I really do. All of them. But Jenn was the funniest, kindest bride I can remember in a long long time. Like many of my brides, Jenn lived out of state and was planning her entire wedding via phone calls and emails. After the first phone call, I think we began reading each other's mind. She sent me a photo of her stunning Carolina Herrera gown (tea length, champagne silk with chocolate sash for those who are as obsessed with C.H. as I am) and our design took place from there. Here's my favorite shot of her bouquet. Jenn, you were truly STUNNING!
