I love designing the food and beverage as much as the tablescape (it must be those 5 years working for catering companies and creating menus!).

SBB Catering was kind enough to create a geranium lemonade and lavender iced tea which would be awesome for welcome drinks.

I found these paper straws online and I fell in love with them. They’re so cool and vintage!

I found this wood Coca Cola crate at a vintage salvage store. I absolutely love the texture of the wood and the old metal brackets.

Who wouldn’t want a cold coke on a hot day?

I love this adorable photo with the flower girls! How cute are they!?!

And speaking of bows and Kate Spade, how cute are these black pumps? I love the two patent leather bow against the black suede. Trés chic! Available here.

I’m loving the delicate tulle detail on these Dolce & Gabbana shoes. It really makes these black shoes seem very delicate and very appropriate for a bride. Available here.

Classic, little, black heels with a little jewelry on the toe. Perfect. By Kate Spade, also comes in pink.

I’m digging these unusual t-strap peep toes shoes by Valentino. Available here.

This past Wednesday I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Vera Wang Fall 2010 show. In the above dress, I loved how the fabric was layered asymmetrically to create volume, and in person, you could really see the huge amount of detail and craftsmanship that goes into each dress.

I love how the bands of fabric swirl from top to bottom to create the shape of the dress. Also, the asymmetrical neckline and beading on the belt really enhance the subtle s-shape of the dress.

The simplest dress shown was this one-shoulder column dress. I love the crisscross pattern on the bodice!

The layers of cut shredded fabric and the detail on this dress is just stunning. To me it looks like a modern take on feathers.

And of course, this collection had loads of black detail. I love the nude underlay of this black dress which softens the look; this is definitely an option for the fashion-forward bride.

The dress had layers of lace and pleated fabric. The detail was incredible, and oh so delicate.

I love the contrast of the structured bodice here with the net overlay. I absolutely adore the crisscross detail on the back of the dress.

This dress was a study in sculpting layers. I love the repetition of this theme throughout the collection. And oh yes, that’s me in the pink in the front row… I had to pinch myself several times to make sure I was really there.

I’m in love with these Louboutin shoes and they even spell out “love” on the toe of the shoe. Available here.

I love the feather detail on these pumps. Photo by Meg Perotti.

I love vintage phones, especially when used to add decor to the guest book table. I’m in love with this bright orange phone!

The styling of the photo is divine.
