Carnival & Circus Themed Wedding Part 2 - The Food

January 20, 2012 –

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.

Ombre Meets GlassyBaby

May 17, 2011 –

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.

glassybaby = only some of the most beautifully colored multi layered glass I have ever seen.  Oh and they rent my friends!!

Congratulations D & J - Pacific Athletic Club Wedding Planner

June 25, 2010 –

So I am a little behind on posting weddings and for that I apologize.  I loved working with D & J.  D had a great family who I absolutely loved.  The Pacific Athletic Club was the backdrop for this lovely tiffany blue and chocolate brown wedding.  And by the way…I am obsessed with straight escort cards.

It was a beautiful day for a wedding.  Huckleberry Karen Designs was responsible for the awesome flowers.

The PAC had a great alcove for the candy buffet.

Cool Things Wednesdays 77 - Unique Wedding Ideas & Decor Napa Style

June 23, 2010 –

How cute would these be as vessels for wedding flowers.  And only $10 each!

These bottles would also make great centerpieces with just a few stems in each.

I love these placemats.  Would look so great on a wedding reception table.

The color combination of blue and white is so crisp and refreshing.  The addition of the lanterns just put it over the top.  Truly a spectacular blue and white wedding.  Photo by Laura Novak.
