Real Wedding: Tracy and Steve, II
I had originally planned on doing one post on Tracy and Steve’s wedding, then featuring a couple of other’s from last week’s table setting feature. But, I got lost in Tracy’s absolutely amazing images, so I’ve decided to feature even more throughout the day…
How amazing are those earrings!? Those gorgeous shoes!? And the deep purple bridesmaids dress!? Every single element of this wedding is so lovely. So full of life and beauty. I am going to see if Tracy will stop by for a bit in our comments section to share more about her beautiful wedding.
I have more pictures to come!
So beautiful...The pictures give off a quiet sense of lovely.
Where are those earrings from, they are fabulous!??
I too would love to know where the earrings are from!
I love everything about this wedding.
Thanks Abby, for featuring us today. We are so honored to be up in bright lights!
For those that have asked, my earrings were custom made by Kris Nations (www.krisnations.com). She is a designer out of the Bay Area that is completely fabulous and creative. It's good to have creative friends! She is redesigning her bridal line after so many inquiries from brides looking for unique jewelry. She is also very affordable (even for custom pieces.)
Normally, I am not a feather fan. And the fancy shoes I've seen with the feather ball on the toes make me think they stepped out of a Dr Suess book. But those are FUN!!!
I love, love, LOVE this wedding. Thanks for sharing it. And Tracy, thanks for sharing your friend's fabulous earrings, too!
This is my first time posting on a blog but I MUST know where Tracy got those shoes!
i've seen this wedding before and love how it was executed. congrats tracy again!
The shoes are Manolo Blahnik Catalina. They're gorgeous, I want to see more of the shoes, please???
I absolutely ADORE this wedding!! Can you share more details about the photographer and flowers please? Also, would love to see more of the paper products (invites, table numbers, etc.)
Gasp!! This wedding must be for me. Lady Slipper Orchids [in the bride's bouquet] are my favorite flower hands down, and those feather-y shoes... I've been lusting over them for a month now!!
I really love your hair...it looks like you have short hair...but I can't tell. My hair is short and I'm struggling for ideas. Is it short or pulled back? Thanks...you were a very beautiful bride. :)
Oh...also...are there more pictures for brides with short hair? Everyone tends to fall into the societal trap of having to 'grow your hair out for the wedding'...I fell into that, then cut my hair yesterday. Not every girl is a long hair girl.
I can definitely post more pics of the shoes, the flowers and the paper products. Give me a couple of hours and I will have them up! xo, Abby
Hi again:
I just sent Abby my vendor list so hopefully she will post them up. I will include them at the end here just in case.
My floral designer was Phoenix Nguyen from Mi Piaci and she really was amazing to work with. She is located in Danville, CA and truly an artist!
My shoes, oh my shoes! I bought them at Neiman's and I love love love them. They were actually really comfortable and gave texture to my look (since I was totally all about texture!)
My hair is short and my hairstylist flew out from MI (where we live now) to style it. I am so thankful for her, she did a great job. I have always been a short hair bride, I say rock what you are! (I since have cut it even more and am now a pixie girl :-) )
The paper products were designed by Andrea Yung Toth of Studio AYT in SF. She is one of Abby's little black book favs and she is FANTASTIC. I worked with her on my whole suite and she was another one who knocked it out of the park.
All my vendors were really amazing and artistic. I let them have free reign after an intial "feel" meeting and they really blew me away! I was surprised as the rest of our guests which made it really fun for my husband and I.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again... THOSE SHOES. I have died and gone to heaven, they are DIVINE.
I LOVE those bridesmaid dresses! Where are they from? I'm looking for that deep purple / plum color and can't find the right shade anywhere.
The photography is divine. Verite/Maria Mrasek and Robyn Kessler are exceptional -- the best photos I've ever seen. They capture the essence, the magic of the special moments. MARVELOUS!! It was a beautiful occasion which was beautifully photographed.
