Carnival & Circus Themed Wedding Part 2 - The Food

Gosh I love fun food.  And food is often a great way to carry a wedding theme out.  For a rustic italian wedding it is common to come across food served family style just like sunday dinners in sicily.

What kind of food would be appropriate for a carnival or circus themed wedding?!?!  Well the possibilities are endless really.  Mini corn dogs with a fancy aioli, truffle popcorn, even cotton candy!

I had the pleasure of dining at Straw in San Francisco recently.  If you need some carnival and/or circus inspired food just check out their menu!!  Plain awesomeness.

Carnival & Circus Themed Wedding Part 1 - The Bride and Groom

I think a Bride and Groom’s wedding attire can certainly set the mood for the whole wedding.  When you choose a carnival or circus themed wedding this can be the place where you can really set yourselves apart from other brides and grooms.  Bright Colors.Vintage.Whimsy.  Have some fun like the couples below did!!

Ombre Meets GlassyBaby

Daydreaming about glassybabys in shades (of possibly yellow or green or even peach) ranging from light to dark.  Unfamiliar with Ombre or Glassybaby?  Read below!

Ombre = a French word which means shaded or graduation from light to dark.  See an example of escort cards that have been dyed Ombre style here.

Awesome Things Currently on My Mind…05.10.11

I know its been awhile…life gets in the way of blogging sadly.  The following items are currently on my mind :)

Love subway signs…and these SF ones are pretty amazing.

Would love 3 of these in my entryway.

Yes I know what you are thinking…i just got these in black/blue.  But really one can never have too many shoes or sunglasses for that matter.

What can I say about M & J?

Young.In Love.Beaming.Simply Beautiful.

They wanted a beach wedding and nothing could be better than a gorgeous Half Moon Bay day.  Oceano Hotel & Spa provided a stunning stretch of beach for the ceremony as well as the ballroom for cocktails and the reception.  Congrats to you both!  It was a pleasure working with you!!
