Celebrity Wedding: Hilary Duff

Ok, so we've all seen a lot of celebrity weddings, and being in this business, I've seen a lot of weddings in general. But this wedding, of Hilary Duff, to me stands out above the rest.






















Her dress was an original Vera Wang fit for a princess. 



Ok, so out of all the celebrity weddings I've seen, by far, my favorite decor of any celeb wedding is this one. I love all of the antique hanging lamps, swagged fabric draping, and the gardeny feel of many of today's weddings. It was over the top but not in a stuffy way, it was romantic, and warm & inviting.
 
And my fabulous friends over at Fantasy Frostings did this wedding cake, and I love that it's a unique spin on a traditional white cake. So unique.

Fun Fact: She was the same age I was when I got married.

Celebrity Wedding: Molly Sims

The photo I loved the most in this wedding is the photo of the bride with her bridesmaids, each in their own unique dress. I absolutely love this trend and if I got married all over again I would definitely let my girls pick their own dresses based on their own styles & budgets.
The bride's Marchesa gown was simple, elegant & romantic.

And who doesn't love nuptuals in wine country?

Real Wedding: Kelley & Rob, Part 2

 This wedding was inspired by an old southern mansion. The bride & her mother wanted it to feel as if the guests were invited to their home & were wined & dined with the best food, best entertainment, and best decor they could find.
 So we used a lot of vintage elements which were rented from Archive Vintage Rentals and filled with floral decor by Peony & Plum who knocked it out of the park, yet again.
 For the main table we used a natural wood table setup as a kings banquet table with a white runner, china plates in 4 different colorful patterns and auntique silverware from Classic Party Rentals.  

 The cake by Fantasty Frostings was covered in handmade sugar rosepetals and sat atop a fabulous linen from La Tavola. We accented the table with simple mercury glass votive holders, miniature pink spray roses in full heads & petals to give it a simple romantic look.

Inspiration: A Wonderlandia Wedding


I have been on hiatus for a bit from blogging. My husband and I recently moved to Oceanside for his new job and things have been a little crazy. But, without further adieu, here are the images from the Wonderlandia tablescape I did for Hostess With The Mostess' launch party that took place last month in San Diego.
 I couldn't have done this tablescape without the amazing team of vendors including my favorite florist in the world, Peony & Plum, as well as Blue Magpie Invitations and La Tavola Fine Linens.
 Images were taken by Dan Fields.

Sneak Peak: Inspiration Wonderlandia

 I previously posted that I was invited to design a wedding tablescape for the Hostess With The Mostess Launch Party that was on Friday Night in San Diego at the Hotel Solomar on the rooftop.
 The only perameters were that it had to be int the theme of Wonderlandia and had to use shade of the colors red, orange, and green with accents of yellow, black or white.
 So I decided to go very bright & cheery with the color scheme using magenta pink, bright orange, bright yellow, and bright green against all white containers including tea pots, tea cups & saucers, and water pitchers.
 La Tavola sponsored the event by letting us use their linens to I chose the Tuscany Limestone for a neutral palette to allow the bright colors to really pop off the table. And I used the Tuscany Crush color for the napkins and chair pads to add a little bit of pop.
 Peony & Plum, my go to florist, took my ideas and inspiration board and once again exceeded my expectations and gave me a lot to work with. And Blue Magpie Invitations made all the paper goodies including the invitation, menu cards, drink me signs & table name.
 We used orange & magenta dahlias, yellow billy balls, green mini hydrangea, magenta garden roses, yellow parrot tulips, orange ranunculus, and green trick carnations (the round balls of what looks like grass).
We also had to use the "Drink Me" from Alice in Wonderland and I went very summery with it giving each table setting an Izze in a color that matched the linen napkin perfectly. I can't wait to show you the images the photographer took, these ones are from my iPhone. : )
