colorful wedding table decor

June 19, 2018

If you described this table to someone, it may sound a bit too rainbow colorful.  But they did such a beautiful job!  The colors are bright enough to feel festive and cheerful without being an over the top kid's birthday party.  I loved the colored glassware, the soft gold lanterns, and those stunning flowers.  Well done!

peony wedding flowers

May 7, 2018

During my first conversation with the florist, I explained that I wanted peonies as my wedding flowers.  Soft colors with texture, like the bouquet above.  I then learned that both peonies and aneomes were out of season in October....so I needed to go back to the drawing board.  This ended up being a blessing as I love what we ended up with!  (Lesson-check out garden roses if you love peonies).

Below is some peony inspiration if they're in season for you.

Peony season is of course Spring.  April, May, and June.

How nice are these hanging single flowers?  So girly and romantic.    What a whimsical backdrop for a wedding.

This is another example of hanging florals, referenced in an earlier blog post.  I think this trend is here to stay!

What is an Old European Cut diamond?  It's actually an official cut of diamond that they don't make anymore.  If you see an Old European Cut diamond, it is vintage.

You've probably heard of Erika Winters.  She fits in well with the aesthetic of my SF jeweler, Eric Trabert, because she also has an appreciation for things from another time.  She uses antique cut diamonds and is listed in The Jewelry Editor as one of the 5 antique-style engagement ring designers you need to know.

wedding idea: flowers on stairs

July 15, 2017

Don't you love these flowers romantically draped over the stairs?  If you have stairs at your wedding venue, this would be a look to emulate!  I love how they feel loose & organic-not perfectly symmetrical.
