We fell in love with Kelly Kaufman of Florette Flower Design just the other day when we featured this ridiculously gorgeous Shabby Chic wedding shoot. Well, needless to say, after seeing her mad skills we weren't terribly surprised to fall hard for another one of her affairs. This one, held in Los Olivios, is this amazing...
"Los Olivos"
For all of you rustic chic brides out there...today is your lucky, lucky day. This wedding is pure bliss. The perfect combination of masculine charm and girly elegance. And the flowers, oh the flowers. Sent to us by Kelly Kaufman, this wedding screams Style Me Pretty.
The wedding was held in Los Olivios at the Figueroa Farmhouse this past august and I...
I think I say this every time I feature a purple wedding...but normally, on any given day, I am not a huge fan of purple. It's a lovely color, especially when it comes to really lush flowers, it's just that all through junior high and high school, my best friend bought everything purple in sight. So she kind of ruined it for me. But! This wedding just might convert me. The purple palette is STUNNING and the details, that were largely DIY, are perfection.
Held at the...
As clean and tailored as the ceremony was, the reception was a bit more swank. It had that "we're throwing a serious party" feel to it that just makes a girl really happy. Giddy even. And from what Jose told me, as he was lucky enough to shoot the entire evening, it was a pretty fabulous affair. If the cake is any indication of that...I am completely convinced.
Ummm. Yep. Layer, upon layer, upon layer of stunning whites is...
It's been a while since we've featured one of Jose Villa's little pieces of heaven. I covet every wedding he sends me, honestly never having turned one down. His photography is the epitome of gorgeous with a style that is as clean and simple as it is layered with emotion, elegance and depth. Lucky for us, Jose is sticking around for a while and is going to be sharing lots of his picture perfect weddings with us in the coming weeks.
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We are actually jumping in the car in just a few minutes to head out to Connecticut where we are shooting the "From Inspiration to Reality Shoot" that we spilled the beans on last week. For those of you that missed out, you HAVE to check out the fun...
I heart Jose. Really, really heart Jose. His work is always so clean, so vivid. It tells the story of the day with a sense of timeless romance, with a hint of whimsy, a hint of pure gorgeousness. And this wedding is no different. Held at a local winery in Los Olivos, California...the wedding is all about an intimate gathering of close friends and family. Love that.
The AMAZING cake was designed by Decadence and for me...
For those of you that were checking the blog earlier today, you might have noticed that we were featuring a FABULOUS wedding that the forever talented Jose Villa shot. Then it disappeared! Well, being the brilliant photographer that he is, Jose wanted to put a few finishing touches on the images so we pulled them down to let him work his magic.
And here is the wedding in all its glory!
