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.

Sasha + Brenden :: 6/22/24 :: Wedding in Fullerton

Image
Our first to two weddings this year and boy oh boy was it a good one (despite the unseasonably warm heat!). Sasha and Brenden tied the knot at the stunning Muckenthalar Mansion , just a few miles from our home! Our day with the couple started with their first look, wedding party and couple's portraits. Before we knew it, it was ceremony time. After one of the quickest (but sweetest!) ceremonies ever, featuring a "first shot" of tequila, these two were officially official! After family photos and some detail shots it was time to party. During the reception their guests enjoyed dinner, speeches, cake cutting, parent dances and creating a custom work of abstract art for the couple to hang in their home! Once the dance floor was opened with a giant group shot, we stole the couple away for some magical golden hour photos at the end of our time with them. A beautiful end for a stunning day!

Another postponed wedding couple that finally got to have their day! YAYYYYYY! This was the most wonderful pink wedding of my dreams and every detail was off the charts!  Their venue, Ruby Street in Highland Park,  was a perfect setting to apply all their incredible colorful touches and to have a fun, beautiful day! We started out with Cheri's details and getting ready at the venue. After Cherie had donned her incredible pink and sparkly Lazaro gown and Max was all suited up in his custom pink suit, these two shared their first look!  After some more photos around the venue and meeting up with their wedding party, it was finally time for their sweet and short ceremony. Can we talk about the DIY ribbon arch for a second? These two created it themselves and knocked it out of the park ! Their wonderful ceremony was filled with laughter, personal vows, exchange of rings, a hand fasting ceremony and finally these two were officially mar...

Yasmin & Kaitlyn :::: Newlywed Session in Joshua Tree

Image
Back in November, I put out a model call in the SBSN Facebook group offering free sessions for LGBTQ+ couples to add more beautiful couples to our portfolio that reflect our beliefs as LGBTQ+ allies! Yasmin was one of the first to respond and we planned this amazing golden hour session in Joshua Tree with her and her beautiful wife Kaitlyn! These two were such troopers in the wind and the cold and we got some amazing photos in this amazing place. The love and energy between them is electric and that even came through with a few static shocks that Yasmin gave Kaitlyn when I gave them a cheek kiss prompt! So cute! We can't wait to see more of their adventures and follow their family grow throughout the years. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
