While it is super cold outside, Karmen’s and Tony’s yellow summertime wedding makes us officially long for summertime. Their San Marcos, California outdoor wedding was held at the Green Gables Estate, and was the inspiration behind the entire day.
Filled to the brim lemon details, succulents and quite a few do-it-yourself wedding projects. This included homemade lemonade, handmade wedding signs and a diy tree trunk cake stand. Keep reading for more details on their wedding, including a full on price break down from Karmen, and be sure to check out all the photos in the full gallery. Photographed by Mozi Photography.
As you see the entire event is filled with shabby-chic style signs. All handmade by Kamren’s brother. He made sure that they all matched them perfectly to their save the dates and invitations.
Karmen and Tony knew their guests would be sitting in the hot sun during the ceremony so they made up individual mason jars filled with fresh-squeezed lemonade and peeled lemon rinds.
Kamren and Tony’s Mom made all the floral/succulent arrangements on the tables including even the little chalkboard sticks with the table numbers. Kamren’s Step-Mom made her famous homemade Lemon Ginger jam for wedding favors, hand packaged with cute fabric for that extra touch.
As you will see below, Tony and his father made the coolest cake stand! They took a huge log, fire treated and lacquered it for weeks before the wedding. They also cut the small pieces of wood that were placed under small flower arrangements and used throughout the cocktail and reception area.

Beautiful wedding! Amazing shoes! Anyone know where they are from?
LOVE the yellow details, they are so beautiful and zingy! It is a very beautiful wedding….
Kamren and Tony are so awesome and were so much fun to work with!! These two have some serious skills when it comes to designing and planning a wedding. All of the handmade details were incredible. My favorite had to be the cake though, I was obsessed with it and must have shot 50 pictures of it. Thanks so much Kamren and Tony for letting me be apart of your day.
These photo’s are amazing! So many awesome ideas

Beautiful wedding! Lots of thoughtful details. The ice cold lemonade hit the spot for a So Cal wedding in August and the dancing shoes were a very thoughtful item for the ladies (because we all wanted to rock the stilettos).
