I saw these pictures of a vintage garden inspired South African wedding in the most recent copy of Wedding Flowers, a British wedding magazine, and just had to share. I absolutely adore the faded look to these bouquets and the interesting mix of texture and color.
Palette: Champagne, gold and white with natural brown elements
Theme: Natural, chic, elegant
Location: Benaroya Hall, Seattle
Date: December, 2010
Jenny and Jeff’s gorgeous Healdsburg wedding is featured over on Love and Lavender! Check it out here…
I have been meaning to attend a 2nd Saturdayz for some time and now that wedding season is winding down, I finally got to check it out. A must for vintage loving brides and designers, 2nd Saturdayz is held every month on, you guessed it, the second Saturday over at Magnusen Park in Sandpoint.
Perhaps the poster gives it away, but this is no ordinary flea market. This is a market where every booth is styled and decorated to be worthy of a magazine shoot. The ladies who run the show, known as The Junk Tribe, are passionate about vintage shabby chic and picky about which vendors they let in the door. I scored some fabulous new props for next summer’s weddings (library card catalog as seating chart -anyone?), a $20 vintage Christmas tree and some gorgeous holiday trees made from recycled wool sweaters.

There was plenty of inspiration for holiday decorating and winter weddings too.

The next one will be held on December 11. See you there!
We recently had some family portraits taken by Angela and Evan Photography and I am so thrilled with them that I wanted to share some of them here with you.
Here’s the whole gang:
From L- R: Marci (sister-in-law), Gillian (mother-in-law), Grant (my husband), Maddy (niece), John (father-in-law), Tasmyn (sister-in-law), me.
