If you’ve been following us on the Little Black Book Blog for any length of time, you know how we love to show-off our vendors’ own weddings. And that’s just what we get to do today! From Lucie’s Events (a.k.a. “the bride” ~ Wendee) … her own pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty wedding at Vista West Ranch!
But, before we get into all the details, I want to thank Traci at Anne Marie Photography for her patience with me and my requests for more and more and more images! I’m a born-in-the-blood lover of colored antique glassware (thanks to my dear Great-Aunt Gertrude!) … and as you’ll see in just a bit, the glassware and dinnerware plus the colorful lanterns and lovely florals just hit a soft spot in my heart!
From the bride, Wendee … I am a wedding & event planner (LBB member) and also a new bride! It was SO difficult being on the other side of wedding planning. Coming up with my own vision was really difficult! I basically just left it up to my vendors to create something fabulous. I trusted their creativity and they ran with it! In fact, I only picked out my wedding flowers the Monday before the wedding!
I had all the bridesmaids choose a gold tone dress and most of the groomsmen already owned tuxes. I am so thankful for everyone who was involved with the wedding! It was a truly amazing experience.

Ohmigosh!! WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE SHOES??? I cant tell what brand they are..? They are exactly the color and style I have been searching for sooo long!!
@Heather... I am 99% sure that those are Christian Louboutin (I noticed the tiniest hint of red on the heel, and figured it out from there :D)
Beautiful! Does anyone know what those china dishes are called or where i could find them? I am in LOVE with them!
Great selection of flowers. Top-notch vendors!
Wendee. 1) If this was your "secret" I like it 2) I'm not sure if I'm more in love with your insanely amazing dress and that hair piece (and you look beautiful, of course) or the PLATES. I have plate envy now, great.... XOXO
Okay, so I see the shoes ARE Christian L., but I cant find them online! If they're not online these days, do they even exist?? =D I need them!! *obsessed*
I've never seen flower arrangements like those! I love the feathery flowers around your arch. So pretty. Congratulations, by the way. Anne Marie's photos are gorgeous, too.
