Vintage, Shabby~Chic Wedding Shoot

I am just *drooling* over this vintage, shabby~chic wedding shoot featured on Style Me Pretty. This look is an eclectic blend of basement goodies, old furniture, salvaged home parts, and leftover printed fabric.

There are so many hundreds of amazing touches and creative elements to this shoot, I could just sit and look at it for hours and hours. It's just pure perfection!

Styled by Gloria Wong and Photographed by Lisa Lefkowitz

I love that the welcome table was constructed using an aqua~colored salvage door that

was placed on top of a table and used as a tabletop for the sign~in display.

Large DIY poms hung above the table. Pure eye~candy!

Gloria used a fun, playful candy~colored palette of turquoise aqua blue, mustard yellow, moss green, and hot pink. I love that in lieu of a paper program for each guest, a trio of cloths were screen printed with ceremony program information, then the pieces of cloth were hung with patterned clothespins. Such a personal touch!

The pinwheels were created with the same printed patterns as the clothespins and flower cutouts from the invitation set, then affixed to fig branches.

Another touch that I love, is that old mason jars where filled with bubble making fluid, decorated with a fabric flower, baker's twine and a vintage key. A separate vintage key was used to blow bubbles.

As always, please see the original post on Style Me Pretty to see a list and links to all the contributing vendors on this shoot.

Pancake Breakfast at Sunset Theme

This beautiful inspired Breakfast at Sunset theme photo shoot featured on

Green Wedding Shoes was based around the theme of the bride & groom's first date...

which was over a meal of pancakes.

Jen with Green Wedding Shoes, along with Lauryl and Esther of My Bride Story, styled the perfect setting for this photo shoot. Surrounded by vintage details, this shoot was created on the rooftop of a penthouse overlooking LA!

I think my favorite element to this shoot is the pancake bar. Monogrammed pancakes were stacked, and different types of syrup for drizzling, along with fresh fruit toppings, were lined up for the guests to embellish their pancakes.

There are so many creative and personalized details, and a lot more pictures to enjoy from this shoot - so be sure to head over to Green Wedding Shoes to see the entire story unfold.

Inspired by Cherries

My friend Tori at Thoughtfully Simple truly designs some of the most amazing theme parties, she is so creative and always so inspiring ~ and this cherry themed party does not disappoint!

To create the red & aqua tablescape, she paired vintage inspired cherry invitations,

cherry tea towels to use as decor and/or a hostess gift, cherry mojitos, red dot luncheon napkins and pale blue 10" plates.

With cherries as the main inspiration for the menu, look for salad recipes that

incorporated cherries (like this cherry-arugula salad). For the dessert try chocolate

cherry mouse shots, mini cherry pies, cherry vanilla cupcakes and chocolate cherry cakes.

You can also pick some coordinate fabric (like this aqua dot) and make simple runners for

your dessert table, drink areas and even the main table.

For refreshments, try cherry lemonade to keep guests cool. For favors, send guests home

with a bag of fresh cherries that they can enjoy later; and tie the bags closed with these adorable cherry tags. And the cherry on top?? The darling cherry thank you cards!

Be sure to check out Thoughtfully Simple's blog to get all the recipes to the cherry inspired

food listed above, and links to where to get a hold of the darling cherry decor!
