Justin + Jordan

When you meet with a couple, and the conversation starts with wedding chat, and ends with planning a s'mores date, you know you are in for a treat (quite literally).

Meet Jordan and Justin.

Their wedding day was all about romance, lush big blooms, and swoon-worthy gold details.  Chatting with Jordan was like chatting with myself, because we giggled over cute details, and bonded over our love of plate chargers.

We started our designing time together, by creating a beautiful moodboard that encompassed their vision and wedding-dreams.

Essentially, we are talking garden meets glam...aka: I'M IN LOVE.

Designing for these two was such an honor, and I'm glad that at the end of the process, I can call these clients friends.  Besides, when it turns out that they live practically down the street, and also share a love of s'mores and wine (together because hey, why not?), friendship is a given. So happy to have worked with you Jordan & Justin!

P.S.- the first two photos were taken by the ever-so-wonderful Jenna Leigh!

When the moon hits your eye....

Hello my sweet blog-friends :) I was in the writing mood this past weekend, and figured that since it had been an entire month (ummmm please tell me where June and July went), I should probably continue blogging our little (ok-huge) journey over the big blue ocean to Italy. Maybe by the time Brent and I actually get married, I will be done blogging about our engagement trip! I mean...just maybe...

Day 2 was our day in the oh-so-gorgeous Venice. Everything you see in the movies? Yep. It's real-life over there. Gondolas, more gelato (of course), pizza (food theme?), and romance galore. 

We stopped in this super cute alley to grab an authentic lunch. That was probably some of the best advice we received in Venice: "Get lost. Find good food." The good food is always off the main walking paths, and they aren't going to charge you crazy touristy prices for it either...win.  Brent and I wandered and walked (no cars allowed in venice!), and came across this super cute pizza place...I mean, a man played his accordion outside of it...come.on.cuteness.overload.

St. Mark's Square is definitely the heart of Venice.  So much history...so much art...I was soaking in every minute of it.

And then...of course...was the gondola ride.  It was perfectly cliché, perfectly romantic, perfectly Venice. I was surprised by how small the canals were, and how perfectly balanced those gondolas have to be to make it around some pretty tight corners. 

 

Of course, the East Coast Main Squeeze and I stopped in a few lots of bakeries. Sparkly macaroons? Don't mind if I do...(shout out to Brent for posing ever so patiently as I took pictures of every single food we ate on this trip....LOVE YOU).

We ended our day with more history/art/beauty/happiness.

And yes...Brent is too tall for selfies...
