Traditional Elegance with Sweet Style
I have multiple personalities when it comes to weddings. I love a little bit of everything…from rustic chic, to sophisticated and contemporary. Lately, I’ve been on a little bit of a Traditional Elegance kick and the wedding that I am featuring this morning fit the bill to perfection.
Sent to us by THREE of our favorite Little Black Book members, Docuvitae, Bella Figura and Celebrations of Joy!, this wedding is all together lovely!
From Cyd at Bella Figura…
Lisa and Stephen were married September 13, 2008 at the Malibu Nature Preserve in Malibu, California. Picking up on the flowers that bloom in the California hills in late summer, Lisa was inspired by soft romantic shades of sage green and lavender. They were married in a sycamore grove and opted to allow the beauty of the natural setting to stand on its own. The result was an enchanting celebration that exuded a soft fairy-forest feel, from a beautiful and ethereal dress by Claire Pettibone to little flower girls dressed in fair wings. Aside from the collection of lovely fairy flower girls, Lisa had just one adult attendant dressed in a stunning emerald green dress. Lisa was inspired by her backyard in the mountains growing up outside of Los Angles and wanted the day to feel lush, green, and magical. The green linens for the tables were custom made and Lisa picked up lots of silk butterflies from a local craft store and strung them everywhere she could.
More to come in just a bit!
Where are the shoes from? I'm also wearing a Claire Pettibone dress and those are exactly what I'm looking for!!
The fairy wings are precious, by the way!
Malibu Nature Perserve sounds like a great place for a ceremony! where did you have your reception? also in the same place?
I'm with Lindsey! Can you share any details on the shoes? My fiance and I are the same height so I'll be in flats and I'm looking for that exact style!
omg the shoes!! yes, must have more info please! i've been searching hi and low for the perfect flat shoes!
That ring is GORGEOUS!! What is the story on that thing? Love it.
hi -- i got those shoes from Stuart Weitzman -- they were perfect and comfortable -- and the ring was designed by my husband and the jeweler...
