Today on Design*Sponge, I featured some a-a-a-mazing homes and creative spaces, one of them being the gorgeous studio of Maribeth at Red Ribbon Studio. Maribeth basically transformed a sad, little retail space into the most gorgeous studio you have ever seen. It just goes to show that creativity doesn’t stop with one craft…this girl is all talent!
Here is one of Maribeth’s weddings that I am completely in love with…
From Maribeth…Kaija and John got married in her grandpa’s backyard. Kaija wanted an upscale backyard barbeque, and that’s exactly what it was. Guests sipped on a signature drink called a Bootlegger and snacked on passed treats like Minnesota State Fair cheese curds. A perfect summer day for a backyard wedding with great laid-back but elegant style.

Just beautiful! And I love love love her dress. I would love to know who the designer is!
I really love Shasta daisies at a wedding.
It's really beautiful. I love the crisp green and white and the way she stacked the cupcakes.
Love all the beautiful colors & details! And who designed her dress?! It's gorgeous!
This is A LOT like my wedding plan! It really looks like it came out quite elegant, but still laid back and fun. "upscale backyard barbeque" is exactly what I'm going for! I'm also looking for a khaki suit for my groom to wear. I'm curious to know what the bootlegger drink is. It looks similar to a mojito.
I have been looking for striped sox for the groomsmen! Where are those from?
LOVE it. We did an upscale barbecue party for an event I hosted at work and called it a bubbleque - always thought that would be a fun name for a wedding. Champagne and BBQ.
I love her dress!! Any idea where it is from?
Marisa, I'm on exactly the same page as you... FYI we just picked out a great khaki suit from Banana Republic. I have also been looking for men's striped socks if anyone has a resource.
sorry, I meant Vanessa!
Thanks for the heads up Heather! I saw a decent khaki suit at j.crew but I still want to shop around and see whats out there. My groom is a skateboarder and not a fan of the suit and tie so I'm trying to find the least stuffy / more mod khaki suit as possible :) Oh, and he has already stated that he WILL be wearing skate shoes. But thats ok, I wont be in the traditional white wedding dress either. The best part of planning the wedding is making it your own after all.
working on finding out the designer of the dress...will keep you guys posted!
I totally understand- our groomsmen will be in the classic style slip-on Vans. We liked the J. Crew suit as well, and the prices are basically the same. Good luck!
Hii Abby
Did you ever find out who her dress designer was? It is so beautiful!
Also, I would love to know where to find those ties! They are the exact ties I want for my wedding. Please fill me in on where we can find them. Thanks.
I LOVE her dress. Keep us posted abby!
Oh my! I'm looking for those ties! Can you tell me where I can find them or something close? The colors in my wedding are white, green, and pink and my girls are in light pink. The guys aren't crazy about pink though so I'm looking for an alternative tie for them that still brings is the pink. These would be perfect!
Not sure if any of you still want this info but I actually tore this wedding out of a magazine to use as inspiration for my own. According to the captions...Her dress was custom-made, their socks came from Hicky Freeman (?), and the cocktail is a mix of lemonade, vodka, and mint.
I was actually searching for where the tie came from, it is not said in the magazine. If any of you ever found out can you send the info my way. Thanks!
I think I found out that the ties were Thomas Pink and no longer available. I found some similar without the pink at Brooks Brothers for my wedding.
