Morris & Ashley's Burberry Inspired Wedding

I have been super excited about the Burberry-inspired decor theme I dreamed up for this wedding because I've never seen it anywhere else and I loooove Burberry! I thought it was the perfect fit for this mountain-loving, classy couple. Ashley & Morris's wedding was in the White Mountains in Pinetop, Arizona, at the White Mountain Country Club, where the bride spent her childhood summers. The plethora of log cabins and the Ralph Lauren-feel of the decor in the country club led beautifully into the classic, simple elegance of Burberry plaid and the warmth it conjures up on a crisp, fall day. The rich cabernet red, caramel and deep chocolate color palette wrapped itself around us like the soft wooly Burberry scarf it was inspired by.

I'm pretty sure this is the sweetest photo ever.



Sooo glamorous!



The bride's sweet mom had precious memories of her father serving her and her 6 siblings homemade caramel apples when they were kids, so we incorporated them as escort cards tied with Burberry plaid ribbon. Darling.







Isn't this cake perfection? Shellie did an amazing job and this sugared flower is an exact, beautiful replica of the one on Ashley's gown.

OK I was mistaken. THIS photo of Morris and Ashley listening to her father's speech is actually the sweetest shot. Ever.


Tough luck, guys. ;)

And now the party recap - and I'm telling you - these people KNOW how to party! I'm even in this collage with my Super-Hero DJ/Musician, Rich Mancini. He's my guy. He stores my high heeled shoes for me at the end of the night when my feet are so sore. ;)



Thank you Christine and Sadie for such lovely photos! xo

Morris & Ashley's Wintry Wedding Weekend

This past weekend was one of the more enjoyable wedding weekends I've had the pleasure of working on. Ashley and Morris are about as adorable as a couple can get - and every family member we met was so wonderful that it's easy to see why this couple and this wedding was so incredibly special.

I'm SO excited to tell you that we came up with the coolest wedding decor theme that perfectly complimented the mountain town venue and the classiness of the couple... we created a Burberry-inspired decor style, and I can hardly wait to show you the gorgeous details!

But first, the rehearsal & dinner... the day we arrived in Pinetop at the White Mountain Country Club, it snowed. All. Day. Big, flaky snow that was fluttering down from the sky and resting on our hair and eye lashes. It was stunning. And magical. And a *little* worrisome about what was in store for the wedding day (which turned out sunny, clear and warm... phew!)

So enjoy the beauty of the snowiness from Friday, courtesy of the awesome Christine Kay Photography. Wedding day details that you will not want to miss are coming soon!











Don't they look like the happiest people on earth? Life IS good.

So please stop by Style Me Pretty and take a look at the front page feature, and particularly at the 18 pages of gallery images that go with the feature -- that's where the pretty details are! Also, please leave comments on that post!

Tres Fabulous Etsy Wedding Stores

Often times, I'm searching for *that perfect* little something-or-other that is hard to find, but I know exists and MUST have it for an upcoming wedding. Etsy.com is a great place to find any and all wedding paraphernalia that will add special memorable touches to your wedding details.

Etsy is not always the least expensive option, but it's chock-full of handmade goodness that just can't be found elsewhere (or that one might be inclined to make themselves if they weren't doing all the other important stuff like planning their dream wedding.) You can literally find anything you need for your wedding from invitations to gowns & veils to bouquets, table numbers, centerpieces, favors - I've heard you can almost find a husband if you look hard enough.

So, while this isn't an exhaustive list, I've featured a few of my favorite Etsy storefronts that I've used either for weddings or entertaining/decor, in no particular order. Feel free to check out the goodness and please do let me know of any I've missed that you absolutely love!

We'll start with THE most beautiful silk floral accents and bouquets I've ever seen. Emici Bridal sells heirloom quality silk bouquets and accessories that are unfathomably gorgeous (and pricey to boot), but you can also find the perfect little bling (and green) for your cake, bouquet or table for a very reasonable price.




Next up is my Etsy fashion love, and that's Bonzie. I'm so enamored with their wraps and boleros in every bold and creamy color that I cannot express it in words. Adding a bolero like this to your bridal gown (for the reception only, let's say), or letting your fashionista bridesmaids sport one of these hotties just takes your couture up a thousand notches.


I'm thinking this little yellow number would look great paired with a grey pencil skirt and fitted tank top, no?


And just feast your eyes on this incredible bridal skirt - custom made to order, and the frilly ruffly scarf below. So fab.


Don't want a cheap polyester garter? How about one of these beauties from The Chica Boutique?


Etsy is also a great place to find your veil and/or headpiece, often for much less than retail bridal salons. Serephine has some funky, fun birdcage veils, but there are tons of stores offering your traditional, simple veils of every length and trim.



Of course, you can also find amazing brooches, earrings, and waist jewelry (don't you love it?) for very reasonable prices from stores like YJ Design ...





And for non-fashion related hunts, Etsy is a great place to find little odds and ends to add character to your tables, like distressed candlesticks in your favorite color, from the Morgan Hill collection at Bragging Bags.

Or these super beautiful handmade French vintage looking banner and table number signs from The Nest (also a great store for gorgeous gift tags for rehearsal dinner or bridal party thank-yous.)


And who doesn't want elegant "Cootie Catchers" to entertain their guests? ;) Alex Tebow Designs has them and they're 100% adorable.

Now, get shopping!
