Casual, Yellow Inspired Wedding by Linda Chaja
Today’s wedding, photographed by the amazing Linda Chaja, is the epitome of all things Style Me Pretty. Inspired by Kelly and Chris’s showstoppingly gorgeous wedding, it’s fabulous defined and I am so excited to be the lucky blogger that gets to debut it! Plus, I love to see weddings that have been inspired by those that we feature on SMP…that is our forever goal. To give you ideas that are steal-worthy and see you put your own stamp on them!
Some yummy, yummy details…
The couple wanted the wedding & details to be very casual and due to budget made most of the details themselves. The affair was held at QAD Inc. in Summerland, California. QAD is an international software company located on top of a hill/mountain over looking the ocean. The company/location is not open to the public for events. The bride’s father is a personal friend of the president of QAD and allowed them to host their wedding there for free! How’s that for thinking outside the box?
The stunning bride wore a dress by Pronvias, a pair of fabulous yellow shoes by BCBG. Her AMAZING hair was done by Michay Salon and she did her own perfect make-up. Adorable bridesmaids dresses are Alexis Adamour found at Bloomies for 40% off. Headbands were designed and crafted by the beautiful bride herself!
So much more to come from this fabulously fabulous affair! YAY, can’t wait!
I really enjoy your site, gave me lots of inspiration for my past weddings i helped plan, and the coming events i have...thanks for the great photos and very helpful posts for future brides and grooms. Keep it up!
Beautiful...love the clean palette. I have to ask- what style is the Pronvias dress?! I love the assymetrical strap.
I love her bouquet!
Love the Pom Pom idea!!
Wow. Her hair is incredible!!
such an incredible wedding. We love the color palette & her bouquet. thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous! Will you share with us who her florist was? I love the bouquet :).
love the centerpieces : SO different, simple, and rough yet so elegant. Who would ever think of using succulents as a wedding "floral" ?! Love It.
I just called to make an appt to check out some Pronvias dresses on Friday! Her hair is completely perfectly brillant!
Wow- I love SMP, makes me get butteflies in my stomach every morning I check to see the new wedding.
Although I LOVE this, It looks SO similar to that yellow & grey Palm Springs wedding you featured earlier this summer. From the pompom cones and the text on the cones, to the succulent centerpieces. I do like the more rustic spin, though.
does anyone know where the bridesmaids shoes are from? love them!
@cs says: That is what I said but she deleted my comment.
Her rings are absolutley beautiful (as is the photo that showcases them)!
yep, it does look a lot like another wedding we featured...but that is what I love! That is the reason that we post such great weddings and ideas...so that you can replicate them and find inspiration in what others are doing.
Ooh i LOVE this wedding! I absolutely LOVE leah's hairstyle - Leah, what is your hair like? Length? Texture? I was so sure I was going to wear it down but now.... ;) might wear it down for ceremony and up for reception!!
love her dress. LOVE the rings. love everything about this wedding! the photos are so gorgeous
Linda shot our wedding last year in Santa Barbara and did an awesome job. She was recommended by Jose Villa who I know is a favorite on this blog. If you're a bride on a budget like i was and getting married in the Santa Barbara area, I highly recommend Linda!
Exquisite florals - I just LOVE them!
Woh... so I'm always checking out your site, and I realized looking at this wedding that I recognized the couple. I used to go to college with them, though I didn't actually know them (it was a small school). Anyways, what a beautiful couple and a gorgeous wedding.
I wish them the best in their marriage :)
I agree with V. I am in love with her hair! It's perfect. Any more close ups of it?
Abby --- well said! In that light, it is refreshing and gives me hope as I plan my own wedding. keep the inspiration coming.
I too saw and loved the wedding that inspired all these details. Design is an inspired process and one good idea begets another and another and so on. One bride's amazing wedding is another bride's inspiration! Keep the inspiration coming!
The Images of this wedding are amazing. Linda is one of the 3 most talented film photographers that I know of. Not only are her images fantastic, but she has a lovely smile and great laugh that makes being photographed by her a great experience!
I am in love with her adorable dress. What style is it? This wedding has given me so much inspiration for my own yellow themed wedding :-)
I love the bride's dress - it is gorgeous. Really feminine and floating and just perfect for the setting. I know you mentioned that it was Pronovias, but what is the "name" of the dress?
Thanks for the beautiful inspiration.
Okay, I LOVE her bouquet, does anyone know what the yellow ball flowers are called? I'm in love with them, and don't know how to find them!!!
yellow flowers are dahlia pom pons or crepedia pom poms . I love them too :)
GREAT WEDDING.
I hope the bride is still checking the comments, because I would love to know where she got the bracelet. Love it! Love the whole wedding! Yellow is not my color, but this made me think twice! :) TIA
