Fall Harvest

Happy Monday!  Fall is officially here, but in the off chance you're enjoying an extended Indian Summer, I put together a fall harvest inspiration board, perfect for warmer fall weather.  Love the warmth of early fall colors, and the natural textures from burlap to jute to hay and linen.  Here's to Fall!

Pewter & Orange Wedding Inspiration

Pewter and orange make a great fall combination.  I love how the orange really pops against the sultry pewter.  From bridesmaids dresses to linens and paperwork, luxurious pewter is the perfect combination for bright orange accents.  Some inspiration for your autumn wedding.

Moroccan Nights

I love the teal greens, soft sage, and gold accents of a gorgeous Moroccan Night themed soiree. Imagine the golden ambiance or a sunset in the desert, mirrored in the twinkling lights of hanging lanterns, a billowy tented reception reminiscent of a Bedouin tribe, gilded centerpieces featuring beautiful succulents, and opulent & luxurious fabrics in the form of draping, rugs, and pillows.  Creating an exotic and vibrant backdrop for your next soiree whether that's an intimate dinner party or a wedding reception.

Apple Orchard Red

Nothing says Indian Summers like a trip to the apple orchard.  It's the perfect bridge between late summer and early fall.  Those crisp reds, and deep rust colors are the perfect backdrop for a romantic outdoor wedding.

Chilly Rustic Fall Wedding

We are headed to an apple orchard this weekend, and I couldn't help but think that it would make the perfect setting for an autumn wedding.  And then I stumbled upon this gorgeous wedding in 100 Layer Cake.  It has all the beautiful elements for any autumn wedding.  The draped linen, the gold accents, the lovely wild flowers, gilded mirrors, and rustic tables.  I love the contrast of the natural textures, mostly wood, against a neutral and blush color palette.  It's the perfect backdrop for a cozy and glamorous reception!





Vintage & Rustic Rehearsal Dinner

So the BIL (brother-in-law) and soon to be sister-in-law are hosting a welcome dinner this Friday before their wedding ceremonies.  Their welcome dinner is being hosted by extended family, and they have a beautiful outdoor space, which is perfect for the couple's rustic and vintage theme.  Imagine hay bales as seating around a bonfire, old whiskey barrels as high boys or the base for a smores bar, and drinks stations with mason jars for friends and family to toast the happy couple.  With any vintage and rustic theme natural elements play a big role.  Raw wood (barrels, and directional signage); jute, burlap, and twine (as table runners, or wrapped around tins or mason jars); cotton balls (as decor); vintage glass bottles (as decor or centerpieces).  Classic treats like spiked lemonade, iced tea, smore, and pies add the vintage element, and we love the idea of relabeling beer bottles your own brand of moonshine.  Create an interactive drink station using the beer bottles as a ring toss, where guests get a chance to wine a prize (or a drink) if they get a ring around a bottle.  This is a great alternative to corn holes, and adds the element of old school traveling carnivals.  Finally, add modern conveniences like an outdoor station with cool towels, shawls, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent for guests to stay comfortable.

Parisian Inspired Miami Wedding

Love this Paris meets Miami wedding.  From the mini patisserie at their reception to the beautiful gardens that these two said their I do's in, there are so many stunning details in these gorgeous photos.  Check out the lovely vintage lace invitations, the architecture of the gardens, the color palette of the reception, and the beautiful couple.  Happy Monday!

Southern Charm Wedding

I am so enamored with the charm and elegance of this romantic southern wedding.  In lovely blush and gold, quite possible my favorite color palette for weddings as of late.  The venue was a plantation home owned by the groom's side of the family, which is perfect because it held sentimental meaning, and is visually stunning.  I love that they played off of the plantation using Great Gatsby inspiration and gilded romance to build their dream wedding.  Finishing off this lovely wedding were the elegant little touches, the lush florals, and that gorgeous classic hatchback car.

Emerald Green Engagement Dinner

I just thought a change of scenery was exactly what everyone needed on this wintry/slushy Chicago morning.  I'm loving the details of this vibrant emerald green engagement inspiration dinner on the beach.   First off, how adorable are the bride and groom-to-be!  Add in the gold accents, the string lights, the fabulous bar, and those gorgeous place settings and you've got the elements for a fabulous soiree.  Happy Monday!

Venice Destination Wedding

There's more romance than I could possibly imagine in these beautifully captured newlywed shots.  And with an engagement session in Capri, you would only expect pure romance and glamour from these two love birds.   I'm obsessed with the ones of this gorgeous couple getting ready.  There's something so magical about Italy, and Venice in particular, these photos are sure to make you swoon.  Happy Thursday!
