Tropical Mid Century Modern Styled Shoot :::: Featured on Love Inc.


This inspiration shoot was inspired by the sleek lines of mid-century modern style coupled with the perfect tropical beach vibe.  The combination provided a laid back setting with a chic look that was also fun and colorful! This unique submission provides great inspiration for couples who are looking to have a wedding that is fun-filled and quirky yet still beautiful and styled, perfect for Green Wedding Shoes, whose readership tends to lean toward having unique aspects incorporated in their weddings.

 The collaboration by all of the vendors was absolutely amazing.  Each professional provided their expertise and it was beautiful to see it come together.  S



Gilded Swan Paperie provided the invitations, menus and place cards.  Her design incorporated the colorful yet muted colors that are prominent in midcentury design.  The use of tropical leaves and flowers were reminiscent of postcards from Hawaii in the 1950s. Ole Hanson Beach Club in San Clemente, California is deep in Orange County and is beachfront with amazing views of the Laguna Cliffs.  Guests might even see dolphins or whales swimming offshore as the ceremony transpires on the large green lawn!  

The vintage furnishings from Sundrop Vintage were perfect for the theme.  From the plush velvet teal couch with gold hardware to the fabulous ceremony backdrop of bamboo rays, their furnishings screamed tropical with that mid-century vibe. Letters to You provided laser cut and etched calligraphy pieces, like the cake topper, table number, and calligraphy on the envelopes.  Her amazing pieces brought the bar cart together with the extra large rose gold laser cut Drunk in Love sign in the window and the laser etched bar menu and sign. The ring from Brilliant Earth was a gorgeous deep turquoise that channeled the ocean in the tropics.  

Petals and Sea Breeze provided all florals and the bridal bouquet was colorful, and even included a small pineapple in it!  The use of orchids, pincushion protea and celosia combined with classic roses was the perfect combination of tropical and classic.  They also embellished upon the bamboo rays by adding pink bouganvilla vines. LA Speakeasy provided amazing drinks that both tasted and looked fabulous.  The glassware were from Sundrop Vintage, but the concoctions created by LA Speakeasy were absolutely delicious! The cake from Metzi’s Cakes and Bakes channeled the vintage glam of Palm Springs with the geometric shape design. All pieces were brought together at the reception table designed by Dorothy Rose Events.  The garland of florals and tropical leaves blended in seamlessly with the tropical runner from Wildflower Linen.  Colorful plates were placed on top of simple white charges with clean lines so as to highlight the pop of color with the napkins.  The gold flatware and gold-rimmed glassware added a touch of class to the colorful table.

Gordon + Hank :: 4/8/23 :: Wedding in Pioneer Town

Image
G+H had the most magical day in the most magical of places— Rimrock Ranch in Pioneer Town, Yucca Valley! The weather was literally perfect and every detail was thoughtful and intentional and executed flawlessly by Katie at Best Day Ever Events! We started with the two grooms taking photo all over the property and even with one of the horses, Ranger. Next, it was time for guest arrival and ceremony where their guests were first greeted by singing from one of their favorite performers, Leslie Page. As the guests began to sample cocktails from Your Little Local and take their seats, each guest was given a red, woven bracelet. Once everyone was seated, the officiant Lori Kahn explained that the grooms wished their guests to infuse their love and positive energy into their bracelets and place them on their wrists. The two grooms walked down the aisle together, followed by some readings and personal vows. When the vows were concluded— Gordon had set up a surprise for Hank! When cued with the

Melissa & Peter :: 11-11-17 :: Wedding in Irvine

Melissa and Peter are such sweeties! We started out their warm sunny wedding day at the Embassy Suites in Santa Ana,  where Melissa got ready with her bridesmaids. After a few fun shots in their robes and everyone was dressed ready to go, Melissa's bestie helped her get into her gorgeous dress, veil and garter. Next, we headed to their venue, the Eureka Building in Irvine where  the bridal party took some photos, being careful to keep bride and groom separate from one another. We also did a first look with Melissa and her dad and a "not" first look with Melissa and Peter, both were so fun and sweet! After those portraits were done, it was ceremony time filled with a sweet and emotional first look, personal vows and three cord braiding ceremony.  Once these two were officially Mr. and Mrs. we spent some time doing family photos, bridal party photos and portraits of the newlyweds in the setting sun. Next it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of fun deta
