The color palettes that I seem to be drawn to the most are the ones that pretty much throw all color matching rules out the window and instead embrace each and every hue with open arms. This is just such a wedding. With a rainbow of color in tow and a match up of chevron linens and a loft like backdrop, Events by La Fete crafted these details into a day that feels all at once modern and eclectic. And there's no shortage of big smiles.

For me, arranging the perfect centerpiece is one of the most frustrating experiences ever. Because it never looks exactly like I want it to look. Well, at least it USED to be that is. But, I've unlocked the secret to flower arranging fun (otherwise known as stop-taking-myself-too-seriously) so now I can design centerpieces with joy, resting assured that sometimes imperfectly designed, lovingly fussed with and often slightly lopsided finished products are often the prettiest. And this piece...
I know I have mentioned this before, but here goes: I am not a girly girl. Sure, I love Jane Austen and weddings with every ounce of my being, but when it comes to fashion, I'm a flip flop and shorts kind of lady. That is... until the second I spotted this breathtaking inspiration shoot from the amazing Vanessa Noel Events and Anna Delores Photography. Because in that...
There are few things that make me happier in this world than a glass of bubbly and a California sunset.
