I always feel bad when I complain about rainy days in California. I know we need the rain, and I also know that the weather here is milder than most places on earth.⠀ ⠀ Still, I inevitably feel quiet, then slow, then melancholy after many days of rain. Today, the storm clouds cleared and the sky opened clear and cold into cerulean blue. ⠀ ⠀ And I feel: ridiculously intoxicated.⠀ ⠀ Anyone else out there have a hard time in winter? ⠀ Anyone else feeling drunk on spring? ⠀ ⠀ If so, tell me. (Life is better when we don't drink alone :)⠀ ⠀
Thank you again @martha_weddings, for featuring this work of art as the opener in your gallery of wedding centerpieces to steal for the Thanksgiving table. If there was any way I could even remotely replicate this beauty, I so would. It's the creation of @studiomondine's Amanda and Ivanka, whose artistry fills me up so deeply. You might notice that a large number of the photographs on this feed are of flowers - they are one of my favorite parts of weddings. I love how great floral design weaves together nature, art, beauty and love. This photograph is from Katie and Ben's @calistogaranch wedding, beautifully orchestrated by @rydersloanevents. The beauty of these florals was a perfect match for the wedding itself, which was sweet, free, and wild. You can see more of its beauty on @oncewed here: https://www.oncewed.com/featured/outdoor-ranch-wedding-wildflower-inspired-details/ ⠀ And, while I won't have this on my table at Thanksgiving, just looking at this photograph fills me with gratitude, for nature, artistry, family, celebrations, and love. Happy Thanksgiving week, all.
Thank you @martha_weddings for showcasing Bonnie & David's beautiful @meadowoodnews wedding in your gallery of gorgeous head tables. This hydrangea runner had been a dream of the bride's, and her mother surprised her by having it created by the wedding's super talented florist and designer @meredithlawdesign without her knowledge. Take a peek here: https://www.marthastewartweddings.com/621192/head-table-sweetheart-table-ideas?slide=865870 ⠀⠀ or see more of its beauty from its publication on @stylemepretty here: https://www.stylemepretty.com/2015/10/19/romantic-traditional-pittsburgh-steeler-wedding-at-meadowood-napa-valley/
Thank you @100layercake for featuring this beautiful artist collaboration today! Thank you @riondesigns @coledrakeevents @casadeperrin @innanosenko @carriealdous @solageresort @photovisionprints @lovelybride @onedaybridal @untamedpetals for filling the world with art and beauty.⠀ ⠀ From Elizabeth Barrett Browning: ⠀ "Beloved, thou hast brought me many flowers⠀ Plucked in the garden, all the summer through⠀ And winter, and it seemed as if they grew⠀ In this close room, nor missed the sun and showers."
"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting," - Ralph Waldo Emerson. ⠀ ⠀ I can't believe I've had to keep this beauty under wraps until this week. Thankful I get to set her, and the beauty of a handful of exquisitely talented artists, free. Stay tuned.
That time that @fashionably_social wanted to create a European-inspired wedding that was so on point a French magazine reached out and asked if they could publish it... On newsstands now - in France! 🇫🇷 Also published on @100_layercake - this girl's got taste. Did I mention a dream team? @coledrakeevents @meredithlawdesign @parkavenuecatering @jacuzziwines @seankenney_filmmaker @brighteventrentals @latavolalinen Happy anniversary Jenna & Walker, you are the best!!!!
