One of my favorite parts when working on a wedding is ordering the invitations, and all the pretty paper things that go with invites! Normally by the time you go in to order invites, a bulk of the wedding is planned so everyone has a good idea of the "feeling" that is trying to be portrayed by all the planning thus far. When designing your invites you are setting the tone for your big day--you are giving your guests a glimpse into whats to come.

Alaina and Keith came to me in the middle of their wedding planning. They are just one of those couples you fall in love with instantly so it was fun to dive head in and help them add all the special details that would make the day theirs! I think she was the 1st bride that I did the bold black and white stripe with 3 years ago--which has now spun out of control and I seem to have 1 or 2 every year since! Alaina was breath taking, and calm as ever on her wedding day.

When Mindi Verdi from Verdi Photography reached out to me about running their daughters destination wedding AZ I literally squealed with excitement! I was so honored that they picked me since they too are in the business, and I was obsessed with the atmosphere they wanted to create! Since 90% of the guests were not going to be from Arizona they wanted to have a Modern Desert Spanish feel, and the brides parents worked their behinds off to make it as authentic as possible even driving down to Mexico for some of the decor items. The actual set up for this wedding is probably one of my most LEAST favorite ever... the venue was 2 hours outside of the city and my rental truck was 5.5 hours LATE!!!

I was the little girl that watched Father of the Bride 5000 times by the time I graduated high school so when I walked in to Mackenzie's home for our 1st design consultation images of swans and rainbows perfectly arching over her home kept flashing thru my mind all the while I could hear Franc's voice in the background. That is how stunning her childhood home is, and it was a blast designing and planning with her and Sarah's Garden!!! We changed our design a few times before nailing it with these hues of grey, blush, & green! It really had a romantic organic feel to it, and I think it turned out perfect. The whole entire wedding day went flawless and had such a calm peaceful feel to it--something special that I think you have when your at home! You can also see the Style Me Pretty feature Here!
