Winter Wonderland???

Here in California, it is a little hard to believe that winter is happening. The weather is just great...

But elsewhere in the world, snowflakes and icicles abound. So here are some design ideas on fabulous and frosty winter weddings. Happy planning!

Winter themed weddings are great for playing with mediums other than flowers. Branches and trees with white blossoms, lights or even just sprayed a playful color give a winter theme an added edge, bringing the outside in. 

You can have a lot of fun with color schemes at this time of year too. I love the traditional holiday colors of red and green, seeing how couples have used this palette without it feeling like they stole decorations from the Christmas tree! 

But then you could also go with an icy blue...

Or how about classic white...

Of course, no one says you have to theme your wedding to the time of year. Nothing wrong with Hot pink in January! 

What colors will you pick?

We're off on an adventure...

So, I don't think I am supposed to have favorites, it's not fair to all the others after all but those who know me will understand that I was so excited for today's wedding I almost pee'd my pants!!!

I am a self confessed book nerd and I found a kindred spirit with today's B&G.

Check out this book lovers dream...

Every table was named after an author loved by the bride and groom, with a book or two and a couple of quotes by said authors. There was no map or number system so to find their table guests had to go around and read the quotes. Who doesn't love a bit of light reading at a wedding?!?!

Books everywhere...

The favors were little goodie bags with tea and cookies, the perfect treat to curl up with a good book. 

And then there was the cake... And what a cake!!!

I loved every detail of this wedding but most of all I loved working with the bride and groom who were so sweet. 

Look at the groom and groomsmen in their "shire-attire" . Love love loved it! 

Puppy love!

I know, I know, two posts in one weekend but tonight's wedding was just too darn cute to hold onto. 

Angelica and Justin have a small amount of love for their Dachshund doggies and wanted to include them in the wedding. Short of having the pups carry the rings down the aisle ( which apparently the Catholic Church frown upon) 😕 the bride and groom decided to use this as their theme. 

Check out all these adorable doggie details.

Congratulations, Jelli and Justin!!!
