Vintage, Shabby Chic Wedding Shoot
I really have no words for today’s first wedding feature. It’s the definition of all things pretty. The definition of perfection. We saw a little sneaky peek of it when we featured the amazing vignette by Andrew Hsu (which was a huge hit) but now we have the photographs that the incredibly talented Lisa Lefkowitz shot. The shoot was for Brides Northern California and you’ll be able to see all of the gorgeous photographs in the Fall/Winter Issue on stands September 1, 2009.
I have to admit, I always get a little excited when I see Lisa’s name in my inbox. But, to hear that she partnered up with the most incredible vendors…Gloria Wong, Good on Paper, and so many more…well, I literally couldn’t contain my joy. Seriously…jump for joy central.
Here is a little background on the shoot from the FABULOUS event designer, Gloria Wong…
Backyard Chic is a relaxed, crafty, DIY, recycled style. The look is eclectic with the use of old basement goodies, old furniture, salvage home parts, and leftover printed fabric. What may have once been considered family junk in the garage can now function as vintage décor for a personal intimate backyard wedding. The key is to augment the basement finds with sprinkles of the bride and groom’s favorite simple pleasures in life… For instance, our bride “Amelia” loves sweets, cherries, pies, especially Grandma’s famous cherry pie…
We have an entire day of fabulousness from Lisa Lefkowitz and Gloria Wong. And, we are doing a killer giveaway a little bit later. Lots of fun to be had!
Love the antique washed letters...were these handmade or purchased from somewhere?
LOVE the colors in these pictures. I know the small bowls are from Anthropologie---very cute!!
Also love the letters and want to know if they were made or purchased? And what about the large flowers? They remind me of the tissue paper flowers we used to make - is that what they are?
The tissue paper pom-poms can be found at Michaels..or on Etsy.
I also would LOVE to know where those vintage looking letters are from..FABULOUS!
Looooove that dress!!! Who is it by? It is perfect.
This is fantastic! What incredible inspiration. And you could seriously do this on a budget.
Ooh I'd also love to know who the dress is by?
This is darling! the shelf, vintage dishes and the paper flowers!
I would love to attend a wedding like this one! Absolutely beautiful.
This is TOO cute! Adore the colors! And the big initials!
The pie/dessert stand is possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen.
I have seen those large initials at 2 Etsy Shops - familyattic & thebackporchshoppe.
LOVEEEEEEEE!

AMAZINGLY ADORABLE - You can really feel the heart and soul in this photo shoot Gloria !!!!
It's also wonderful browsing through the pics because I know the beautiful grounds of Beltane Ranch so well ... I worked there all through my high school years - oh such sweet memories.
wow. what a fun shoot - everything was perfect to a "T"!
Hello! The short dress from this particular segment came straight out of the closet of our fab wardrobe stylist, Ameliana Kamstra... It's actually an old H&M dress! I also must take this opportunity to applaud our super awesome hair/makeup team... Taylor Pham and Mimi Rickett of Thi Cosmetics. I thought that they did an excellent job executing the different looks :)
What a wonderful wedding! Where did you find the labels for the various desserts? Thanks!!!
