~Paper Flowers~

Happy weekend!!!

I hope you have some fun in store for you this weekend;)

Me? I am going to make some crafty creations this weekend to show some brides soon for their weddings.  My favorite part of  planning weddings is styling them.  I LOVE it.

Speaking of creating, I am all about DIY decor and making your own fun items for your wedding.  

I mean . . . you can decorate a pretty wedding with paper.  

PAPER you say?  

YES.

What do you think?
YES or NO on paper flowers and weddings?

I made a paper flower backdrop kind of similar to the one above, in white and purple for a recent wedding. CAN'T WAIT to show you all photos!

Enjoy your weekend

Ferns

Woodland. . . 

Whimsical, organic, natural.

I am loving these as decor elements in weddings . . .

There's just something natural and simplistic about ferns

(and budget-friendly!)

I have some in my back yard :)

~Megan and Justin's Wedding at Kerry Park and Ray's Boathouse by M Kippen Photography~

Hello my lovely peeps:)

I have another overdue treat for you guys today.

Last July I had the pleasure of helping with 

Megan and Justin's wedding

7.21.11

{Ceremony} Kerry Park

{Reception} Ray's Boathouse

Talk about a fun and loved couple!

Megan is gorgeous and Justin is so chill and laid back.

I did a sneak peek post back here in July . . .

but here is the full thing!

(Amazing Photography by M Kippen Photography)

Gorgeous orchid and calla bouquets by Juniper Flowers.  So classic and simple.

This wedding was full of emotions.  The loss of a very close family member just 2 weeks prior to the big day had a huge impact on this day. It made it that much more special and meaningful.

How stunning is Megan?! Here walking down the aisle with her dad, and I must say for Seattle this was a perfect day for a wedding:)

Megan and Justin's friend was their officiant, he made all of the guests laugh, and cry.

 And . . . the kiss! Made even more picture perfect with the Space Needle in the background:)

 Justin is in a band, so this pic with his shades are a perfect representation of his personality:) Love this shot!

 Then off to the reception, held at the AMAZING Ray's Boathouse.  Famous for their seafood, yummm!

 This Tiffany's cake was made by Mike's Amazing Cakes.  Classic.

 Wedding Favors: personalized cookies from Etsy! 

 This was the view from the reception of Puget Sound!

 Here is Megan's mom during the toasts, again lots of tears as well as laughter!

 DJ Marc Sense kept the party going all night, what a lively party it was:)

From Justin:

Tamara was a great wedding planner and was very helpful with the planning, organizing and coordination on the wedding day. We have a family emergency that happened a couple weeks before the wedding and had to put a lot of responsibility on Tamara and she came through. 

~Justin

Megan and Justin I wish you two the best!

So glad I got to be a part of your perfect day:)

~Wedding Love: Lauren & Michael, Salt Lake City, Utah~

Holy gorgeousness!!!

Found this wedding and fell in love instantly with the colors, the decor, and just every single detail!

This is the kind of wedding I would LOVE to plan!

(Wedding and all photos from Martha Stewart Weddings)

 Save the Date Co.

 "something blue"

 Solamente Celebrations (formerly of Scenemakers) 

"Lauren attached a special brooch to the antique lace and ribbon wrapped around her bouquet.

 It was a birthday present from her grandmother"

The groomsmen wore gray vests and pants from J.Crew 

 "A wall of satin ribbons made by the bride and groom was the perfect backdrop for the escort-card trays. Wedding coordinator Heather Balliet of Amorology filled each with vintage jewelry from Lauren's collection and placed them atop custom fabric-and-lace-covered boxes to add dimension to the table."

A stunning tent was set up at the American Fork Amphitheater. 

I especially LOVE this lounge set up with textured pillows.

Such a playful fun cheery wedding!
