Oh the Places You’ll Go: Baby Shower

October 30, 2015 | Posted in: Luxe Life

My bestie/business partner/sounding board/sister-at-heart is preggers with her first baby. So, of course there will be a little soiree in honor of the future Mr. North. With the help from some personal and industry friends, we created a not-too-sweet, totally chic baby shower. A nod to their last name North, and the muted ocean themed nursery in their home, we created a subtle travel theme. Dip died “water-y” looking napkins adorned the place settings, Dr. Seuss travel quotes were displayed on flags throughout, even the color of the decor itself mimicked an aging world map- soft greys, muted blues and greens. Cara has a distinctly modern vibe in her home so I steered the decor that direction. All of this pretty decor + how can one go wrong hosting a party in the stunning Isari Flower Studio? Basically if you plopped anything in this space it would end up looking pretty. Luckily we had a pretty venue AND fabulous vendor friends to create a perfectly Cara North baby shower.

Luxe Wedding: Ashley & Ryan

September 10, 2015 | Posted in: Luxe Weddings

Once our photo shoot models (see them here), but on this day the stars of their own real life fairy tale. Ashley & Ryan’s Girly Boho Glam wedding is one of those magical collaborations of artistic family stock. When the already talented in her own right bride gets engaged + you add an uber skilled paper design sister, well you know the result is going to be something special. Ashley hand picked wedding vendors who know and love her well. The whole event is lovingly designed, photographically captured, and enjoyed by a team of friends and family. The unique color palette is a blend of garden greens, bright and dark shades of pink, flashes of gold, charcoal gray and black. Ashley and Ryan chose to play up their relaxed casual side with rustic wood farm tables, yet glam up the tabletops with gold details and girly touches of pink dip dye elements. Each wedding space was filled with thoughtful romantic touches. The wedding arch was sourced by the bride’s father and created just for her wedding day. She and her sister hand made each escort card flower on the over-sized garden wall. Each place setting had a scrolled note with a tidbit about Ashley & Ryan. The notes were intertwined in the tines of gold forks Ashley sourced over the wedding year and will get to enjoy long after her wedding day. The vintage furniture was lovingly brought on site from the homes of their own family (+ some extra special rented extras). As a result the Botanical Garden is transformed into a perfectly them, “feels like home” wedding party setting.
