Real Wedding: Nicole + Dan vol.1


Nicole is one of those brides who has it all together. She is wonderfully creative, organized, and so on top of it all. She was well on her way to having a beautiful wedding at Condors Nest Ranch when we got a call from her. She needed help pulling her vision together in a cohesive look and hired us to do all the design and styling of the entire day. What could be better than that & at one of our very favorite venues!

We couldn't have been more thrilled! Nicole loved the rustic ranch, but also wanted their wedding to have elegance & class. We quickly came up with some ideas to bring the two worlds together, and I must say -the end result was breathtakingly lovely.


The color scheme for their summer wedding was a dusty pink, peach, cream, mint green and golds. Lynn Lucente blew us away with her floral design. The flowers were simply stunning. We designed two various tablescaples, using both round and banquet tables with a variety of high and low centerpieces. We found an eclectic mix of centerpiece containers ranging from warm peach hues, shabby chic cream, and gold.



How tender is their first look? I love how sweet it is.



Nicole knew what she was doing hiring Katie Neal Photography. WOW, does she make us look GOOD. : )Her use of lighting is amazing.. just wait until you see more of the wedding details coming next week!

Back to Basics: Wedding Cake

Wedding dessert trends are all over the board these days. Anything goes. That's what we tell the bride who wants to do pie instead of cake, small cakes instead of one large, and the ever so fabulous dessert bar with homemade treats.

However we're finding it refreshing when a bride gets 'back to the basics', and chooses a wedding cake. "Just ONE wedding cake?!" you might ask? Yep, just one. One large and beautiful wedding cake.

We're getting back to the basics today with the traditional wedding cake. And if you notice...singular wedding cakes can be fun too. The shape, size and design of your cake can be creative, and even be a show stopper!
