My Daughter's Wedding

What a wonderful day, November 1, 2013.  The weather was perfect and everything was set for the wedding I was most looking forward to out of the 49 others I provided flowers for last year.
I hope you enjoy a few photos that were not in our Green Wedding Shoes feature, The Grovers Blog post or anywhere else.  These are some private and special moments that I'd like to share with you from Sydnee and Sam's magical day.  Special thanks to Troy & Aimee Grover for the amazing photos.  Also, my friends at The Villa, you know who you are!!  Aaaannnddd of coarse my fabulous staff, Randi and Susan (and special guest Annie).  Thank you, thank you for helping me so much with this one!

First up, the little details that inspired this wedding.  Vintage brass animals and containers, amber, green and brown vintage glass, wood, moss, blush and burgundy tones, unique flowers, pods and greenery.

Before we got dressed I took Sydnee around the courtyard to show her the tables that we had both carefully shopped for and styled with lots of love and thought.  We were both so happy with the way it all turned out and she got exactly what she wanted (of coarse)!

What a dress, right?!?!  It's a WooToo by Waters.  "Olivia" in Oatmeal.  The perfect blushy/tan princess cut.  Sydnee had originally thought she wanted a lace bohemian style dress, but when she tried this one on, we looked at each other and knew that was it!

Working in-between getting ready.  Next up is Sydnee's first look with her Dad and brother Isaiah.  What an emotional moment!!

Mr & Mrs Samuel Craig Nelson!

Sydnee's wonderful Nelson Family!!  She is very lucky to have 

married into such a great and close bunch.

Story behind this photo….On our wedding day, one of our funny groomsman put this on the bottom of  David's shoes, so it seemed appropriate for David to carry on the tradition.

Father/Daughter dance to "Brown Eyed Girl".  I'm standing next to my dad watching.  

THIS GUY…Thank you Troy and your beautiful wife Aimee for being there to capture the day!

Next week I'll share some other fun details. 

Styled Shoots 2012

About 2 or 3 times a year we get asked to participate in a "styled shoot".  They are fun, and a way to be super creative.  Here are two that we worked on in 2012.  Luckily, they were both picked up by Green Wedding Shoes.

The first one took place at The Foley in Capo Beach.  It featured Claire Pettibone dresses and the location couldn't have fit the dresses more perfectly.  Stacie Truitt of Gatherings By Stacie did a great job of styling this shoot and giving us some great ideas to run with!  Photos courtesy of the amazingly talented Stephanie Williams Photography.  See the Green Wedding Shoes feature HERE.

The second styled shoot last year took place at The Villa in San Juan Capistrano.  This was a labor of love for prior bride Christine and her awesome husband AJ of Adrian Jon Photography.  She is an up and coming wedding planner and he is a very spectacular photographer.  Mint and Brass....can you say "trend alert"!!
