Jean & Jay :: Siren Studios Wedding

I've been waiting so patiently to share this wedding with you and I finally can!  It was featured yesterday on Style Me Pretty and it was an amazing team for an amazing couple.  You can see their engagement session here.



Spiked Loubs!  I was definitely surprised when Jean showed me these.  I had never seen them before so my jaw, kind of dropped!










And now...the ceremony!








I have a great little series of pictures from this wedding that I'm saving for another day too!  So much eye candy!  Thanks to Image is Found for these lovely images!

The Perfect Addition: Wedding Centerpieces

Monday, July 25, 2011

Happy to share one of our intern's first post!  Welcome Rocio!

Wedding centerpieces are always a great touch to a reception and it is something that your guests will love. They add extra energy to the room and become a wow-factor to your reception tables. As we all know, an arrangement of flowers seems to be the most common centerpiece. Flower centerpieces are beautiful but why not try something unique. Having some type of theme might give you the perfect inspiration for a centerpiece.
There are plenty of ideas for you to choose but no matter what you decide, your centerpieces will absolutely look stunning the day of your wedding.
When it comes to centerpieces, I personally love the ones that included flowers or candles. They look elegant and adorable.  There are also other centerpieces besides the usual flowers and candles that are truly stunning.

What type of centerpieces do you love?

Happy Friday!

I've seen lots of dreamy dresses but a dreamy dress and a dreamy veil?  OK, so I've seen some awesome ones, but I'm pretty sure this combo is in my top ten!

12 Pre-planned Date Nights

Thursday, July 21, 2011

I know this is a wedding blog, but it's also a LOVE blog!  I am totally taking up this idea with my husband!  

via Shannon Brown

You write 12 preplanned date nights for you and the mister.  Instead of me doing all the planning, I'm asking Mr. J to write 6.  They can either be free or prepaid and the fun part is to try and do something you've never done before.

Shannon also made a scrapbook which is an awesome idea!  I love scrap booking but never have the chance or time to.  Keeping up with this should be easy peasy!


I'll blog about the progress on this little love project.  Join me!  I'm sure your love bug will enjoy this!

Mustard Yellow & Aqua Inspiration Board

Tuesday, July 19, 2011


Yellow is a great vibrant color that invokes feelings of joy and fun, which makes it a perfect wedding color. In this inspiration board we have focused on a deeper, almost mustard yellow, which brings an element of richness and elegance within the yellow palette. The deep yellow color works great in both indoors and outdoor venues. Further, it transitions beautifully from day to night.

What do you think??


Happy Friday!

Last week we had a mix guest post on Hi-Fi Weddings and we wanted to share because it's just a feel good, sip on some coffee (or champagne), then have a dance party kind of mix!

These are fun too!  Perfect gifts for your bridesmaids and you can customize them yourself via White Tulip Boutique.
These are also something your BMs will love!  They can wear them for your wedding and re-use!

Santiago de Compostela Wedding

Monday, July 11, 2011

If you didn't know, you'll know now that Andrea and I met through a UCLA summer abroad program that took us all the way to Santiago de Compostela.  We talk about it ALL the time and want to go back soon!  It was definitely a life-changing experience and because of this, we had to share this wedding we found via Grace Ormonde with photography from Photogen Inc.

Our Andrea still hasn't tied the knot yet.  Maybe this will convince her and we'll have a reason to go back!








So elegant and lovely! 

Oh the memories!  For all the photos, visit the fabulous Grace Ormonde!
