    Thanks for sharing.

  15. Lauren says:

    Thank you so much for sharing! This is my favorite wedding I've seen posted on SMP! The details make this wedding so breathtakingly unique!

  16. Gloria Wong says:

    Hi there! Our wardrobe stylist, Ameliana Kamstra, used one of her own vintage Anna Sui dresses for this look. It's absolutely adorable, but I'm afraid it's no longer available in stores... Sorry ladies :(

  17. Darline says:

    Hi there! The vintage wedding signs all come from my store: http://thebackporchshoppe.etsy.com You'll find many more wedding signs & all can be custom made for your wedding! Happy Wedding Day to all you sweet brides! A BIG thanks to Gloria & Lisa for including me in this awesome project! ~Darline

  18. hellolani says:

    does anyone know where the assorted glasses come from, in particular the pink and yellow ones?

  19. Anne L says:

    I would like to use those glasses at my wedding at the Biltmore Estate next month. Where did they come from?
    Thanks!

  20. I was so in love with this shoot that I created an inspiration board using just images from these posts: http://tiny.cc/IgsCX !! Thanks for sharing such beautiful work.

  21. I adore this shoot, the colors and the imagery are incredible!

  22. I'm completely floored at all the amazingly encouraging comments. Everyone gave their heart and soul for this shoot. It was shoot in Nor Cal at Beltrane Ranch. (sorry - not So Cal) I wish some of you had read my facebook entry where you will see that I was behind the tall shelf, holding up the flags. Hilarious.

    There's so many great background stories to these shoot that I wish I could share. All I can say is that it takes great team work and wonderful inspirations to create this. Backyard Chic is chic but not easy to do.

    Many thanks to Coast, Torchio who really helped us get all those great containers and who donated the garden roses. Lisa Wong Jackson is my hero. I loved how she created patterns papers for us so that we could cut them and place them in all the details.

    Gloria, Lisa, Anne, Taylor, Gaby, Matt, Tawny already know how much I adore them. Great team!

  23. I am head over heels in love with this!!! It is styled so beautifully and I am i love with those glasses!
    Thanks for sharing!

  118. I have just come across this site and have found it to be interesting and informative.
    I am so not creative but my girlfriend is and I actually going to show her this site I think that she will just love it and she can get all creative with this, I have to say that they did come out very nice and these would make a great gift,as no one makes things any more they would rather spend money on impractical things.

  119. Ha ha ha I had a good laugh when I saw this, I have to say that if and when I get married I think that if we had to wear striped socks like those the future misses would be up for murder, but I do like the packaging that is just brilliant.
