California Wedding by Zoom Photography II
Elaine has so much more goodness to share with you this morning, but I wanted to put a quick note up that we just posted a Twitter Etiquette Guide over on BACKSTAGE, that is full of twitter-ific advice. Ok, back the ridiculously gorgeous wedding at hand!
* * *
Sent to us by LBB member and photographer extraordinare, Lauri Levenfeld of Zoom Photography this wedding is filled to the brim with steal-worthy ideas and inspiration. But I think it might be the beautiful, rich fall colors that make this wedding so completely delightful. Well, that and of course, the adorable couple.
From the beautiful bride…
For dinner, we wanted our family and friends to feel like they were at a special dinner party in someone’s backyard (albeit, a very gorgeous one). We loved the cozy feel of rustic wooden farm tables and created our own unique place settings by mixing and matching various vintage plates, glasses and flatware. Jennifer at Lush created the most gorgeous centerpieces using a mixture of green, rustic urns and various sized glass jars. We wanted everything to look thought-out, but not overdone.
We worked with Dauphine Press to create beautiful, eco-friendly letterpress invitations, as well as stationary for the wedding day. We carried a rustic, orange floral design through the programs, menu cards and escort cards. On the back of each person’s escort card was a special note letting them know that we had made a donation in their honor to our favorite charity, the Touch A Life Foundation.
Think wedding is just soooo sweet… and as a (former) September bride, I have to admit, this makes me a little nostalgic. *swoon*. Now, check out these perfect (and pretty) little rustic touches…
Back with more in just a few!
An old window frame with flower box to hold the table info - love that!
Would love to know where the shoes are from...beautiful wedding!
Hmmm... I'm not sure where the shoes are from... I'll see if I can find out.
I love the frame and flower box too!! So creative. I'm curious to know how the S was propped up?
Suzanne, it looks like they used a stand kind of like this... http://www.wroughtirondecorstore.com/5690.html
Any idea where those lanterns are from on the table? I'm planning a fall wedding in wine country next year and have been hunting high and low for something EXACTLY like those!
Jessica. I just sent an e-mail inquiring about them. I'll let you know when I get more info.
i love those flowers!
Beautiful. I would love to know about the shoes and the table numbers!
Thank you Elaine!
What a beautiful wedding! Elanie - could you please tell me where the little "Bride" sign hanging from the chair came from? I'm looking for the exact same thing. Thanks!!
Elaine - I just found the bride sign on Etsy! Just wanted to let you know.
What an adorable seating chart display! And the sheet music inside the box for cards is so charming!!
Thanks Allie! Also, to those of you who asked about the shoes... they're from Nordstrom. And the "bride" sign is from Etsy.
Thanks Elaine...I'll head over to nordstrom.com to find the shoes :)
I have those shoes in pink.. if they are the Nordy ones I'm thinking of ... house brand and they came in the orange color, light navy, black...
Give your look a personal touch by having a http://www.irisdbridal.com/catalog/custom-veils " rel="nofollow">custom bridal veil bridal veil made. Perfect for the bride with a unique taste and who wants to add a little creativity on her wedding day look. Have the veil made is different styles and varieties and match it with the outfit to complete the look.
Thanks for all of your kind words about our wedding! The "Bride"sign (there was a matching "Groom" one, as well!), the table numbers and the wooden "S" were all from The Back Porch Shoppe on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5834886
The lanterns are from Richard's (http://www.richardsartsandcrafts.com/ ), but I've also seen them at Pottery Barn and Pier 1.
And the shoes are from Nordstrom and are called the Glint 'Addison' Peep Toe Pump. It doesn't look like they are sold in orange anymore, but here is a link to black ones!http://bit.ly/vNfsx
I feel so blessed to have been part of Karli and Nick's amazing wedding. I work for the Touch A Life Foundation and was so excited when they chose to make a donation to our cause. Could you include a link to the foundation? The Web site is as follows: http://touchalifekids.org . Thank you for the beautiful write-up on this perfect wedding!
Love the centerpieces and farm tables!
Oops! One small change...the S, Bride and Groom signs were from the Back Porch Shoppe, but the table numbers were actually from Funki Folk Art, another fabulous vendor on Etsy (www.funkifolkart.etsy.com). Sorry for the mistake!
