"Where there is great love there are always miracles."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This property was right in the midst of the most recent fires here in California, and I'm so happy to say that the property is still in great condition. The owners haven't been let back in yet to fully assess things, however video and images taken from the property recently are promising. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We couldn't be more grateful for the endless battling the firefighters and first responders are doing and continue to do every day. "The love in the air is thicker than the smoke" rings true today as much as it did when it was created back in 2017. And I truly believe the quote at the beginning of this post rings true about this property - there is so much love here and a miracle happened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Some gorgeous flower inspiration as we head into this long weekend! And look at the lace detail on this dress 💚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Labor Day may look a little differently to us all this year due to COVID-19 😑 My weekend involves catching up on projects around the house, reading and yoga. I'm curious what you're up to! Please share in the comments below so I can live vicariously through you 😆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"Choose a job that you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am a firm believer in this quote! Anyone with me? 🙋🏽‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rarely am I captured by the photographers as I try to be sleuth so that I don't end up in your pictures 😂 - but it's so lovely to have pictures like these to go back and reminisce, especially now when we aren't able to celebrate the same way 💚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The welcome! It's such an important part of any event - it really helps set the tone of what's to come and allows your guests to mix, mingle and connect over a shared experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My favorite ingredients for a warm welcome include a seasonally inspired beverage (spiked anyone?), friendly service staff, and ample space to enjoy themselves. This venue has the perfect spot - on a shaded lawn featuring a palm tree, a huge fig tree, and a backdrop of a nearby forest. I could relax there for hours taking in the restorative nature! But you'll likely just see me whizzing by making sure everything is flowing smoothly and that your guests are well taken care! 💚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Thank you a million to for a fun and creative challenge! ⠀
⠀
I'm a part of the program which means I love Minted and all of my clients get a really great discounted rate for their stationary! They recently created a flat lay challenge for their planners - so here we are 🙂 They sent us invites and challenged us to create a flat lay and mood board based on them, with the caveat that we could only utilize objects we had around the house. ⠀
⠀
The theme I created for these invites was a modern classic destination wedding in Rhode Island, with a boho vibe. The venue on the invites is - it looks like such a beautiful spot! The images on the mood board were sourced from aside from the one of the venue which came from their site. I envisioned a warm welcome with tray passed champagne, a pampas grass inspired ceremony surrounded by the sea and sea glass es**rt cards leading guests to their table under a gorgeous sail cloth tent. The cake would be a classic 3 tier cake with a boho twist featuring a teal design and then guests would party the night away next to the ocean and stars - dreamy. ⠀
⠀
I had the pampas grass from a previous wedding along with a feather bundle from a great friend of mine that went along with the overall color scheme. I also had a reserved sign created by 💙. The linen samples are from and would be great options as accent tables. I added a string of pearls and teardrop earrings to contribute to the classic nature of the theme... I styled it all on a beautiful I have and I really like the way it turned out! {I have to tell you though I have a newfound appreciation for lighting and photography, 😂 I've never done a flat lay before so getting the light right without shadows was a challenge for me! I also created a design with some of my favorite products that would be beautiful with this theme} @ Napa, California

Planning the right time for this in your timeline is key to ensure you don't lose the gorgeous soft light; but also balancing it with making sure you two get some food to eat and aren't missing anything important. Thankfully I'm a huge details gal (everything is important!) and coordinating this + all of your other dream team vendors together is like a fun puzzle to me 🧩 (*´◡`*)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Our most popular dessert bar is a small cake for cutting, assorted miniature desserts and freshly baked cookies - it's always so much fun to see guests ogling the dessert bar and choosing their favorites, as they head out to rock the dance floor - but I also know that some people don't feel like it's a wedding without the traditional wedding cake! Where do you stand - mini desserts or traditional tiered cake? Leave a quick comment below to let us know!⠀

Ｔｈｅ ｆｏｏｄ！ Ｙｅｓ！！！! Do you know why we have such a strong focus on seasonally inspired and locally sourced food? Here's a list of our top 6!⁣⁣
⠀⠀⁣⁣
1) It helps provide a reduced carbon footprint - and when large events are involved, every little bit helps!⁣⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
⁣
2) It's more nutritious for you! It's harvested at it's peak and retains more of it's healthy natural goodness for you.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
3) It helps provide reduced preservative & pesticide consumption - most often people are consuming way more pesticides and preservatives than they need to be.⁣⁣
⁣
4) It tastes better!!! (again because it's picked at it's peak)⁣
⁣
5) It supports your bodies natural nutrition needs (and we can all use that especially on a day when you may be imbibing two or three (or let's be real more 😅) drinks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
6) You're supporting local farmers and they need all the love and support they can get.⁣⁣
⁣
What's your favorite seasonal food you wait for every year? Mine is our local strawberries 🍓- it's so hard to eat them from the store after you've tasted what California's strawberries fresh from the farm taste like!⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
