Santa Barbara Beautiful! 2009-10-28


The Old Santa Barbara Mission for the ceremony, photos at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse and a wedding reception at the Four Seasons Biltmore...it doesn't get any more Santa Barbara than that! And the Bride's parents were married at these very locations 30-some years ago! The bride, Emily, really wanted to capture these memories by taking photos at some of the same places her parents took theirs. I can't wait to see the photos side-by-side! How special for all of them!

Thanks to the vendors that helped make this beautiful wedding happen: BB Photography www.bb-photo.com, Camilla Svensson Burns www.camillaflowers.com, Stephanie and Trina with www.thestudioagency.com (the bride was absolutely stunning!), Wildflower Linens www.wildflowerlinens.com and my mom, Dianna La Fleur with Elegant Letters, who did the beautiful calligraphy.

And the bag is so adorable and can be used for your honeymoon and for years to come! (more...)

Falling in Love With Fall! 2009-09-22

It's the first day of my favorite season...Autumn! Or as I called it growing up, Fall. This morning I am flooded with memories of jumping into piles of leaves, the smell of cider in the air, home-made apple and pumpkin pies, caramel apples, warm sweaters, warm colors...I love this time of the year! Inspired by the season, I pulled some photos for one of my fall brides to give her some nature themed (and some truly green) ideas for her gift bags and wedding favors. Here are a few I just love from http://www.invitationsbydawn.com/ and her Naturally Ever After line. Some of these products are from recycled papers, so good for the environment as well as having a great "fall" theme.
I love the idea of individually wrapped caramel apples for your wedding favors tied off with one of these leaf tags. The ones above are from http://www.californiacaramelcompany.com/ and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory www.rmcf.com.
Or how about individually wrapped pies from Dean & Deluca http://www.deananddeluca.com/? Your guests will smell the pies when they walk in to the reception and will love you for the warm scented memories you will flood their senses with! Talk about making your guests feel like home!
