amazing wedding blog alert!

Engaged & Inspired...

Who doesn't love a good wedding blog or two...or hundred?

There are more than a few useful, beautiful websites & blogs geared towards brides (& wedding professionals) who are in the midst of planning their ultimate dream day. It can be a bit overwhelming selecting your favorite sites & keeping up with them, let alone planning your wedding. What if you are not planning a vintage &/or rustic event?

Engaged & Inspired has quickly become a favorite of mine! I seriously suggest you check it out. The feeling is so fresh, stylish, & honest. Allison, the creator, is engaged & it is delightful & insightful reading about her thoughts throughout this journey of hers. She has selected some of the most creative vendors in the business & has displayed their info on her "inspired list".  Engaged & Inspired also has an Etsy shop offering unique items for you discerning brides.

Engaged & Inspired is so refreshing.

Love.

Lovin & Ian are married!!!

These images are from a stunning wedding ceremony & celebration of a truly loving couple. I just adore Lovin & Ian & had the best time helping them with their day at Los Verdes Golf Course in Palos Verdes. The whole day was just jam packed with emotion & personality. Thank you, to Harvard Photography, for capturing & sharing these images.

Beautiful Dessert Bar

Just a posting to showcase the incredible talents of three of Southern California's top-notch wedding professionals.
This fabulous dessert bar was created by Vanilla Bake Shop. Those yummy little goodies are pure heaven.
The eye who captured this belongs to Aileen Secord of Aileen Secord Photography.
The beautiful cherry blossoms and flowers decorating the table are from Century City Flower Market.
As you can imagine, this dessert bar was definitely a highlight of the evening. Yes, the rest of the wedding day was just as marvelous!
