Gatsby by Day - Sweet Daytime Wedding Details

I will let you in on a little secret. I am a Gilmore Girls fanatic. Huge. I mean, it's a bit gross. I've got all of the seasons on DVD, and watch them waaaaay too often. Why am I sharing all of this? Well, my favorite episode is called "You Jump, I Jump Jack" (season 5, episode 7) and it is based on a secret society that has an event set in what I like to think of as a Gatsby-esque era. All the fun details in this episode are so neato. I tried to find the episode on Hulu and link to it for you all, but sadly, it was not there. But all sorts of other Gilmore Girls episodes are...take a peek!

Anyway, the tie back to weddings is coming....

So, I am also a huge fan of Snippet & Ink and the amazing inspiration boards Kathryn creates. She has such an eye for detail when putting these babies together. She posted one the other day that I have printed out and hung on my personal inspiration pin board in my office because it instantly reminded me of my favorite episode of GG. I can't wait to have a client request a wedding full of summer yellows and a pop of sweet berry. LOVE!

Click on the image to see all the pretty details. The hats, the bow ties, the parasols. The sunshine and the blackberry colors contrast each other so well. Can't you see the twinkle lights, hear the music hanging on the heat from a warm summer night? And I have the perfect venue in Sonoma - Beltane Ranch - with it's wrap around porches and working cattle ranch. Yes please!

I'm sure there is some plantation in the South that is also begging to have this wedding thrown at it, but I think Beltane would add a California twist to these sweet nuptials.

Here are some more fab finds based on the lovely inspiration board above...

Beltane Ranch Ceremony with the wrap around porch.

I adore antique rings, this one is quite a gem.

Lovin' the sassy yellow stripes.

Hope you all are diggin' the Gatsby by Day post!

Fav Finds + Flower Friday: Yellow Flower Pots and Berries

Another summer week has flown by! This Flower Friday is a bit different from past Flower Fridays in that I want to showcase this neato idea I found over on Green Wedding Shoes - one of my favorite blogs - and then realized the floral designer was the fabulous Carissa of JL Designs! A win win! This bride was married down south and look what she did! How fun are the maids with their potted bright yellow marigolds instead of traditional bouquets!?

Doesn't it look great?

And I am really lovin' the groom's boutonniere! So darn snazzy with the berries!

My fav finds these week are all real weddings! Take a peek at some fabulousness:

Flower Friday: A Fabulous Yellow Wedding Bouquet

I am a huge fan of both Anna Kuperberg and Kathryn of Dream a Little Dream Events - and earlier this week I caught sight of a photo from one of their recent weddings and my eyes zoomed in on an AMAZING bouquet (it just happened to be yellow!) and I had to know who the floral designer was.

Melissa from A Simple Ceremony created this stunning work of art. Her website is full of incredible bouquets, centerpieces, and other fun. I got happily stuck looking at her gallery for a while last night. Love! Happy Weekend everyone!
