So, in my quest to satisfy my sweet tooth through eye candy alone … my thoughts turned to candy buffets. And I headed straight to the Dooby Design Group website because I knew I had seen some incredible displays!

I have to laugh, though! With each photograph, I find myself very carefully studying the choices and planning just what I would have placed in my goodie bag had I been there!

I really do love Aaron and Jen Delesie. They are on the short list of my very favorite photographers. And, it seems like everything they send me goes up on the blog…it’s just always a no brainer. Aside from the fact that they get to work with designers like Lisa Vorce, they have a style that is all their own, a sense of effortless perfection that I fall in love with time and time again.

Love, love, love this rehearsal dinner that one of my favorite photogs, Aaron Delesie, sent me. It was designed by Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming! for Day and Max and is ALL about the fun. It’s one of those rehearsals that completely sets the tone for the weekend, that gets guests excited for the celebration ahead, that allows the bride and groom to kick back and enjoy all of the hard work.  Love that.

Remember Max and Day’s absolutely, ridiculously amazing wedding that we featured a few months back. Aaron Delesie was the photographer behind the day and of course, Lisa Vorce, was the design force. Well, lucky, lucky us. Aaron just emailed me photos from the adorably festive rehearsal dinner and I fell in love all over again.

Nancy Liu Chin and Lisa Lefkowitz are hands-down two of the Bay Area’s most talented vendors. So, when they partner up and send me a wedding that they got their hands on, I just KNOW it’s going to be good. This one, is no exception!

And although I don’t have a ton of the details, I do know this. I am completely obsessed with the chic, laid back elegance. The charm threaded into every detail. The sophisticated but totally approachable style.

I am completely and totally smitten with this rehearsal dinner that Jose Villa sent me and that Allison Hotchkiss of Alison Events designed to perfection. Plus, they have been sweet enough to divulge all of the pretty details just for us, which makes it even better. I would KILL to see a wedding inspired by this rehearsal…the same cool, but not too cool, chic but not too chic, pretty but not too pretty style. LOVE IT.

It’s fair to say that when Jose Villa teams up with the fabulous Alison Hotchkiss, the result is going to be, well…completely fabulous. So, when Jose sent me this rehearsal dinner that the pair worked on together at the Parker Palm Springs, I seriously couldn’t wipe the grin off my face. It’s just so chic, so simple and yet so gorgeous. Love, love, love.

And guess what…the  team at Alison Events has been sweet enough to share with us some of the behind the scenes details !
