We are thrilled the safari themed baby shower we planned and designed is now featured on Inspired By This!
With vintage safari animals; lions, tigers, bears (oh my!) giraffes and monkeys found throughout the space you will love all of the wild kingdom details!
An exceptionally romantic garden wedding followed by a purely elegant reception created with an astounding design, this Four Seasons Westlake wedding is simply unforgettable.
As guests entered the rose garden which led to the ceremony, friends and family sipped on champagne and nibbled on canapes while listening to a string orchestra from West Coast Music. Soon after, guests found their seats in the garden in hopes to catch the best view of the bride and groom.
A year after our East Couple said I do, we are ecstatic to share that Veronica and John’s polished enchanted garden wedding we planned and designed is featured in the 2018 Fall/Winter issue of Inside Weddings!
With the anticipation of welcoming the newest family member, these future grandparents commissioned us to assist in planning and designing this safari themed baby shower! Parents-to-be and their guests celebrated the little cub! Keep reading for all of the wild kingdom details.
Held on the grounds of a private estate in Los Angeles, we filled the backyard with rustic farm tables adorned with burlap table runners and unique vases filled with florals in shades of green, apricot, persimmon, pale yellow and cream. Also placed along the runner were adorable vintage safari animals; lions, tigers, bears (oh my!) giraffes and monkeys! These cute mementos could be found throughout the party. The place settings consisted of wood chargers with textured white china, green vintage glassware, wood handled flatware and taupe linen napkins wrapped with horn napkin rings.
We are so excited to share with you all of the beautiful, vibrant details of this intimate 30th birthday celebration hosted at a private estate in Los Angeles. A delicious Mediterranean feast prepared by The Kitchen for Exploring Foods, stunning florals by Nancy Kaye of Mark’s Garden and stylish decor from Revelry Event Design, will have you swooning. Big thanks to Braedon Flynn for all of the beautiful photos.
The birthday girl’s nearest and dearest were seated at one long family-style table, amidst lush gardens with twinkling bistro lights hanging above. The tabletop decor was comprised of mix-matched handmade cream-colored pottery which sat atop a blush velvet placemat, rose gold flatware, vintage blush glassware topped with a custom stamped menu nestled in handmade napkin wraps. French tulips, white peonies, and blush garden roses made up just some of the amazing bouquets that were set upon the table. Accents of blush and gold could be found throughout the party; in our elegant glassware, unique back bar, throw pillows and coffee tables.
On a bright, beautiful, warm spring New York City day, 60 of our bride’s closest friends and family gathered to shower the bride with love admiration and well wishes for a classy New York City Bridal Shower!
The sophisticated yet feminine space was filled with round tables draped in champagne-hued linens, white lace runners, custom monogrammed hemstitch napkins and topped with patterned garden themed charger plates. Each centerpiece was unique and arranged with a mesmerizing blend of purple flowers, yellow pansies and buttercream roses in a variety of vessels. Candelabras, stacks of books, framed photographs, maps and other vintage tokens complimented the centerpieces, and throughout the space, mementos of Alex + Dan’s relationship could be found.
Keeping true to the bride’s three rules, “no games, no poems and no gift opening” we created a fun filled afternoon with unique entertainment for a bridal shower! A live “boy band” from Elan Artists, played upbeat familiar tunes, so guests could dance, nibble delicious eats and sip on carefully selected wine and custom cocktails! As friends and family mingled enjoying each other’s company, they were able to create their own special blended scent of custom-made perfume with their special party favors, vintage inspired perfume bottles.
As a fun surprise, Ed Libby created custom cotton candy wigs on mannequin heads dressed up in earrings and fake lashes. Towards the end of the party, the groom to be made a surprise appearance and brought Alex a beautiful bouquet of flowers. *Swoon*
