Neon seems to be popping up every where.. I love the idea of a wedding design with touches of neon that is still really, really, elegant (it would be such a fun design challenge).

How rad would a neon wall be for a ceremony backdrop? SO RAD.

I love this sweet elopement photographed  by Patrick Moyer on Harbour Island… Can’t you just smell the salt water?

The color of water, some quite time with the one you love, sounds like perfection…

Oh what a tuesday shoesday… I love these gorgeous Louboutins paired with an equally gorgeous aqua and god box. I will take one of each please!

I love an ethereal and frothy wedding gown… It just seems so comfortable and elegant. Add in a dash of color in the jewelry and you’ve got a modern wedding day style…

Don’t you just love how this dress moves and how the collar frames the face? Its so pretty and designed by the always lovely, Alina Pizzano. Would you wear a floaty dress paired with modern jewelry down the aisle?

This gorgeous wedding I did in September was featured on Grey Likes, last week… The theme was spanish with a strong color palette of orange and blue.

For the ceremony I had a simple arbor built. Then I draped it with alternating strips of orange and blue fabric.

For the bride’s bouquet I used a mix of locally grown dahlias in various shapes and sizes mixed with muscari, orange garden roses, tulips and calla lillies. For the grooms’ bout I used a calla lillie and wrapped in the same striped ribbon as the bride’s bouquet.

For seating cards, I placed a single clementine to hold the card down which acted as a paper weight and a fun snack for guests.

For the tables, I used La Tavola‘s fun retro linen in blue. I love the fun geometric pattern. And for even more pops of color I painted cement containers in two tones. The tall rectangular containers were painted a red and orange while the star shaped container was painted with cobalt blue and turquoise.

For guest tables, I used large wood boxes surrounded by white tile I painted. I simply taped a triangle on one side of the tile and then spray painted the exposed portion a pretty orange/red. I loved, loved the bold color palatte of this wedding, would you be so bold?

I love this unexpected color palatte of aqua and red and it just seemed just so appropriate for a California Christmas/holiday table…

For flowers, I used shades of crismon and red with hints of purple. I don’t usually like red roses, but these cabbage roses are kind of amazing.

A holiday wreath with rosemary…

A happy little ranunculus in the arrangement.

And a congratulations to Jose Villa & Joel Serrato on their wedding and publication in Martha Stewart Weddings. Check it out here.

And a sweet remembrance for a Jane Packer, she helped shape and create the modern floral industry. Check out Chelsea’s sweet remembrance post here.

A little holiday table I designed a few weeks ago is up on Style Me Pretty! You can check it right here.

A few diamonds and jewels for your Wednesday… I styled these as part of the cocktail shoot just for fun. I used an old lipstick holder that I got at a consignment store and a gorgeous beaded linen that will be avaliable from La Tavola next year… Jewels courtesy of 33 Jewels.

I love emeralds and this ring features a huge center stone in the most delicate aqua color.

With baguette diamonds surrounding the emerald, its definitely a show stopper. Would you rock it???

Two of my favorite things… classic blue and white pottery and aqua shoes with bling!

I love making bouquets… there’s just something so fun about making the bride’s most important accessory on her wedding day. I personally, love bouquets full of color and texture. For the the Vibrant Winery Wedding I used orange lollipop dahlias, pink garden roses, scabiosa pods (love them), sweet veronica, and pink garden roses.

What kind of flowers would you carry on your wedding day?

I love  a wedding full of vibrant color, and this wedding I designed last year had one of my favorite color combos: turquoise, orange, and hot pink. For her bouquet, I used pink garden roses, orange dahlias, sweet veronica, scabiosa pods and maidenhair fern and then wrapped the stems with a deep turquoise silk.

Their ceremony was held under the oak tree at Gainey Vineyards. The bride had a thing for hearts (she actually wore a heart shaped necklace on her wedding day) so I created a big heart out of orange rose petals.

I used the couple’s bird and heart logo on their seating card chart (I actually printed a large copy of it and then used an exacto knife to make a stencil out of it). A collection of vintage fans were placed in wood boxes filled with more orange rose petals.

For her tabletop design, I used a burlap runner as the base to pop the colorful flowers off of. A mix of hammered containers, petite mason jars and aqua glasses from Anthropologie held an assortment of garden roses, cafe au lait dahlias, orange lollipop dahlias, orange roses, tuberrose, geranium, and a bit amaranthus. I bought a bunch of old books and tied with them with more turquiose silk, sort of like old book satchels. At each place setting I hand braided torn silk strips to use as a napkin ring. I also switched out the usually white plates for orange ones to add even more color. I love the vibrant, playful look! You can see more of this wedding over on Style Me Pretty, right here.

A wedding I designed last year was featured on Style Me Pretty last week. I loved the colorful palette and the vintage school yard theme we did. More on this wedding soon…

And The Rainbow shoot was featured on The City Sage. Enjoy!

Tomorrow I’m heading out to London to design and attend my little sister’s wedding. I’m SUPER excited to go antiquing & prop hunting, not to mention visiting the always inspiring Fortnum & Mason, my beloved Cambridge where I studied abroad, drinking loads of cream tea and eating bags of Walker’s salt & vinegar chips. Posting will be light while I’m away, but I will have a full re-cap of my adventures when I return. Until then, cheers mate!

I love a good old door, lining a cobblestone lane….

Perhaps made of rough hewn wood…

Or painted a shocking hot pink.
