tea for two

A beautiful couple, a vintage-styled table {set for tea for two}, antique furniture {LOVE, LOVE the couch}, soft pink and whites tones, anemone flowers and even a pocket watch accessory for the groom…this shoot, photographed by Stacey Bishop Photography, really is lovely and quite pretty.

This stylized wedding shoot was created out of the love for all things classic and lovely. From a historic home, antique furniture and details, classically styled attire to the soft color scheme of the flowers, this gorgeous bride and groom take us to a simpler time without compromising style!

say yes to the CHRISTOS dress

The holidays bring out the romance in everyone, so it seems to be a popular time of year to ‘pop’ the big question. Congratulations to all you newly engaged couples! Now that you have a sparkly ring on your ring finger, you can start planning the wedding of your dreams. Dress shopping is on high on your list of ‘bridal to do’s,’ so make a mental note of our next designer, CHRISTOS, and make an appointment at Felicé Bridal today to feel the fine French lace and silk organza in between your pretty little engaged fingers.

Our fave bridal salon, Felicé Bridal, owned by mother-daughter duo Robin and Karen in Colorado, has added the CHRISTOS Collection to their list of designers. The romantic collection, originally established by Cyprus-born designer Christos Yiannakou, is now under the creative direction of Amsale. We love us some Amsale…after all, Jodi’s dress was designed by the fabulous designer. The CHRISTOS line, known for its feminine use of organza, tulle and heirloom Alencon Lace, evokes a feeling of fairy-tale, femininity and romance.

Prices range from $4,500-$8,000. Look here to see the entire collection, then call Felicé Bridal and let them know the dresses you want to try on…if they don’t have it in the store at the time, they will get it in just for you.

Here’s a few of our faves…

Grey and Pink Summer Wedding

In high school, I never imagined Shannon, my BFF, would be celebrating her marriage at her family’s home {which I once considered my second home in my teenage years} in the midst of tennis lessons, sleepovers, prom pictures and parties. I did, however, imagine {and knew}, she would marry her high school love, Bryan.

These two met so young, but grew as individuals and a couple throughout the years, traveled the world, made long distance work and waited until the time was right for them…and their wedding day was so magical.

I was lucky enough to stand by Shannon’s side as her maid of honor for her summer wedding. She planned a clean, modern and elegant wedding that was simply stunning…and so much fun for the nearly 300 guests.

The reception at Shannon’s parents home was the perfect setting. The fountain lit in pink and purple lights made for a grandiose entrance, the white draped, and carpeted tent was absolutely gorgeous, the color scheme of white, bright fuchsia and purple, and grey was eye-catching and sparkling crystal chandeliers were timeless and glamorous. Not to mention the beautiful Irish couple radiating love…and partying all night long {at their own barn-turned-Irish Pub post reception party}

Shannon and Bryan made their wedding day their own, and I was so honored to be a part of it…and share it with you today. Enjoy.

Yes, I was a nervous wreck for my MOH speech. Yes, I cried.

And, yes, I made them cry too.

The Best Men {brothers of the groom} followed my act, and were fantastic – both funny and emotional.

the knot feature…

I was lucky enough to be the Maid of Honor for my BFF Shannon last summer. It was a happy day for me to see her blissfully happy and say “I do” to the man of her dreams…and look stunning while doing it. The details, colors and design of the wedding was absolutely gorgeous. YOU get exclusive photos and details of the wedding next week {I’ve been waiting more than a year to share it with you}, but wanted to give you a sneak peek today.

Her wedding was recently featured in The Knot Colorado…how fun is that?

Not to take away attention from the bride…cuz it’s always ALL ABOUT THE BRIDE {as it should be for all brides on her wedding day}, but that’s me…the 4th one from the left in the top photo below.
