The ever so hip and stylish Paige + Blake shared with us this hip staged shoot. Filled to the brim with fabulous budget friendly wedding ideas. Purchasing all their lovely goodies over at Ebay and Esty to keep costs down.

The Bride’s dress, shoes and stalkings were purchased on eBay and her shoulder wrap was provided by the Etsy shop, RomancingJuliet. Who sells amazing ring pillows, bird cage card holders and other fabulous wedding goodies.

The entire bridal party looks incredibly cutting-edge. The bridesmaid’s wore heather gray dresses from Target, over  mustard tee’s from forever 21. For that extra pop the girls wore kelly green tights. Also from  forever 21.

The groomsman’s outfits were super simple. A basic fresh white dress shirt paired with black slacks. The key to the outfit is the kelly green suspenders purchased from Amazon.

I love all the hues of greens and yellows used in the floral arrangements. Splendid Sentiments and Designs did a stellar job. Especially on the bridal bouquet, filled with billy buttons, yellow tulips and other spring floral delights. This yellow and green bouquet is not only gorgeous but incredibly stylish.

The fantastically fun little bird pins on the bridesmaid  dresses and the groomsman’s suspenders were created by Maisey Handmade, and the felt flower clips in the ladies hair were created by Whimsical Accessories. Both of course, Etsy stores.

Crafty Paige + Blake also made the ladies’ bird rings from supplies purchased at Micheal’s.

Do you love all the artistic chalkboard signs? They were made by Paige + Blake with scrap wood at home depot, chalk board paint, sandpaper and chalk. It sounds incredibly easy to make!

The Cake is actually a prop cake and was created by CaramiaCakes over at Etsy. You can use one of her beautiful cakes as a display and either server a delicious sheet cake or cupcakes to guests. This is a great money saving tip.

We are huge fans of Linda Chaja Photography, she is one of the few photographers that still shoots in film and truly understands the meaning of pretty. So, when I stumbled upon this soft and lovely wedding I immediately asked her to share it with us.

As you will see this wedding is bursting with beautiful details thanks to Katy, the gorgeous bride. Katy also happens to be a talented event planner in Los Angeles.

Her wedding planning story is below if you where looking for some insider tips on how to plan the perfect wedding read on to learn her story. Katy shares pretty much every fantastic detail of her wedding.

Katy’s & Camron’s Story:

Santa Barbara, CA is one of our absolute favorite places, and Camron proposed to me on the beach there, so it only made sense to bring all of our family and friends there for a Fourth of July destination wedding!

We chose Rincon Beach Club as our venue, which is located in the quaint town of Carpinteria, just south of Santa Barbara.  Our ceremony was held on the beach just before sunset, underneath a custom-built bamboo arch with hanging floral arrangements and crystals that sparkled in the sun.  We chose a decidedly “un-beachy” color palette of varying shades of moss and sage green with white, and our amazing florist used tons of different white flowers like dahlias, lisianthus, and my favorite, scabiosas, mixed in with succulents and many different kinds of greenery.

I have a wedding planning and design company, so the little details are very important to me.  I am very much a do-it-yourselfer, so the months leading up to our wedding were spent making things like the hand-painted wooden sign that hung on the large driftwood “tree” at the entrance to the beach, and the petal cones that hung on the chairs filled with white rose petals for our guests to toss after the ceremony.

I recycled the border motif from our letterpressed RSVP cards that were returned by our guests to make the decorative top of the ceremony programs (which were lovingly assembled by my amazing bridesmaids!).  I had a few custom rubber stamps made and used those to make embossed tags that were tied on pretty much everything, like the paper parasols for the ceremony and the flip-flops my mother-in-law bought for the guests to change into to walk on the beach.

Our guests were transported from the beach ceremony to the reception at the beach club by a traditional Santa Barbara trolley.  I made moss-covered initials to hang on the large wood doors to the beach club, and our guests were greeted by champagne and a steel drum band as they entered the reception.  The garden courtyard of the beach club had white paper lanterns strung overhead, and dinner was served there under the stars.  My mother and I made moss green pin-tucked silk runners for the tables, and I used tons of silver mercury glass votive holders on the tables around low floral arrangements and wrought-iron centerpieces with hanging candleholders.

Green Table Setting

The food at Rincon Beach Club was wonderful, and our guests are still raving about the tri-tip!  Our four-tiered cake  (two tiers of coconut cake with fresh coconut cream filling and two tiers of chocolate cake with vanilla cream filling and fresh raspberries) topped with a Swarovski crystal monogram I made, was also a big hit with our guests.

DIY candy bar

In lieu of traditional favors, we chose to create a candy buffet, and our guests took home tons of green and white treats in white take-out containers tied with our embossed custom tags.

We had such an amazing time celebrating with so many family members and friends who traveled so far to be with us!

Happy Monday!

Lane Dittoe is definitely bringing pretty back! Along with a fabulous list of vendors this classic wedding will doubt be an inspiration spring board. Hues of mint green and soft grays filled the day thanks to Joyful Weddings and Events. They always seem to go above and beyond in the design department.

I have to throw out a nod to the florist, I am a sucker for Anemones in a wedding bouquet. There is something so magical about the little white flower with the black center.

Do you love the Ynes and Ryan name sign. Of course it was hand made by Joyful Weddings and Events. The incredible cake was baked with love by none other than the spectacular Sweet and Saucy Shop. Always a crowd pleaser.

The bud vases surrounding the cake with an array of white flowers looks simple yet stunning. A perfect example of divine design.

Denver Wedding

Some wonderful green and brown fall ideas from Karie Mclain Photography for you today. Carrie and Ben where married in Beaver Creek Colorado at Saddleridge. High in the mountains under skies of blue. Beaver Creek has the cozy, unhurried feel of an Alpine Village. Sun-bathed patios, rustic cabins in aspen groves, romance in the mountain air. Nestled around an intimate square, it is a world away from the world. What a great outdoors, rustic venue!

Brown and Green Wedding Ideas

As you see Carrie had some cuter than apple pie green wedding shoes and Ben and his groomsman wore Chocolate slip on vans. So cute! The flowers and day of decor look stunning, designed by Plum Sage Flowers. I love the tree stump flower arrangement. Everything ties together effortlessly and matches the venue perfectly. I am sure thanks to Debbie Orwat, from Save the Date Events!
