hmmm...

mix + match plates. 
I am pondering this idea for the wedding, (kate's definitely doing it) thoughts?
It could be super cute if the rest of the palette is clean and minimal.

palm springs ♥

Every time I look at pictures from Palm Springs I wish I was back there.
Maybe at the Ace or the Viceroy, these lovelies are from the Parker...

which should most definitely be the next stop on the list.

engagement party favors.

we're currently planning our engagement party this summer.
these cute bags could be perfect for favors.

groom.

love this image of the groom in solitude. his suit is also pretty awesome.

the entire wedding is amazing, ojai is beautiful.

gown + veil

lovely wedding dress & simple veil. 

I love that it's tucked under her hair instead of on top.

I'm sort of on the fence about a veil in general, but I like how this one is done.

the opposite end of the spectrum.

black and white photography, I love you. I can't wait to capture some amazing black and whites this weekend at our photoshoot!

rainbow delight.

these vellum mobiles are so pretty! kudos to jordan for her creativity.

can't wait for spring.

I guess spring is technically here, however in LA the seasons are never too defined. I love this inspiration board from Anna at Rifle Paper.

Based on this wedding , I've gotten the brilliant notion (and why I haven't I thought of this yet?) why not "ready-to-wear" instead of "bridal"? there are some amazing ready-to-wear gowns that would work perfectly for wedding dresses. i'm excited to begin the browsing. 

The above are from J. Mendel Spring 2010 collection, lovely in grey.

feathers.

pretty feathers shot by Rebecca Thuss.

I may need to find feathers like these spotted ones for the
