Fav Finds + Flower Friday - Kate Healey Flowers

Happy Friday! It's a bit rainy, but that won't dampen my spirits as I am headed to Carmel for a little R&R! Super excited! I plan on hitting up those outlets, a few wineries and then catch up on some reading in front of a roaring fire, hot cocoa by my side. So now that I have tortured you with visions of my perfect weekend, let me also say that I have barely touched my Christmas list - no shopping or wrapping has been done! So much to do!! Maybe those outlets will come through for me!

While we are there, we will also be revisiting the restaurant Casanova where my adorable hubby proposed! So excited to go back and take it all in! When we were there the first time, after he popped the question, I couldn't eat a thing I was so excited! Now I can't wait to go back and try it again and clean my plate!!

OK, enough ramblings about me. This week's flower Friday reminded me of some of the gorgeous and rich shades of purple that pop up in holiday decor. Purple is known as the color of royalty and it simply looks divine in this wedding.

The photography is from my fav, the amazing Sarah Yates, the flowers are by Kate Healey Flowers in Big Sur and the mixing and matching are simply stunning! The lovely cake is by Royal Bakery - so sweet and simple!



Here are some of the best of the blogs this week!

Fav Finds + Flower Friday - Pretty Purples and Rosemary

Rainy Friday! A cold front and thunderstorms are headed this way, so grab the hot coco and marshmallows friends it will be wet this weekend!

To brighten this rainy day I wanted to share this lovely lil' bouquet made by the bride's friend's mom! Crazy town! How gorgeous?! I found this wedding over on Magnolia Rouge and was smitten. You should click over and check out this bride's wedding dress - not only was it super pretty it was totally break away to an adorable cocktail dress...click over for more fun details on how she tricked her new hubby with it during the garter toss!

Pretty in Purple

Hi all! I contribute to a few blogs, one of which is the fabulous Bay Area Bride Guide every Tuesday. And this last Tuesday I created a gorgeous purple inspiration board that I wanted to share with you - so here is my post from BABG!

.....

I have been loving all of the purple wedding details I have been seeing lately in the wedding world, so I thought I would pull together a pretty little inspiration board for you. The one image that inspired it all was the top left photo of the bride with the stunning bouquet. How amazing is that photo?! The bouquet is from the incredibly talented Natalie Bowen of Natalie Bowen Designs and the image is by the fabulous Joel Flory of Flory Photo. Taking that one image as my lead, I then went searching for images with a romantic yet modern and clean vibe in purple and and lavender hues. Enjoy!
