Outdoor Wedding

With the March issue of The Stanton Magazine launching this past Wednesday, my most recent wedding obsessions had to be put on the back burner. Luckily, however, I've finally had a chance to go looking for inspiration. Today I found this amazing idea for outdoor wedding decor. As some of you may know, Marc and I are hoping for an outdoor wedding (venue TBD) in May of 2012. To accent the natural environment, I'm hoping to get my hands on some of the phenomenally unique hanging light fixtures pictured below.

The hunt to find them begins now....

Dress Love: Net-A-Porter

I should turn away from this eye candy before I overindulge. Definitely sneak a peak at Net-A-Porter's beautiful wedding boutique. I'm loving the two modern and glamorous dresses featured below. 

Color Board- Lavender

Obsession: Sparklers

I love this small detail yet amazing twist on the Bride & Groom's final exit. So romantic & beautiful.

Spanish Bridal Fashion + Mexican Pastels

Yesterday, my amazingly stylish friend/ fashion blogger Jessica Escalante pointed me towards a sight called Green Wedding Shoes. She then showed me one of the most gorgeous wedding themes I've ever seen. While this may not be exactly what I'm going for with my wedding, I couldn't help but share this delicious eye candy! I tried to choose a few of my favorite photos that captured the essence of this theme. I"m particularly loving the generous use of succulents and that gorgeous wedding dress. If anything, I'm thinking of using this as an inspiration board for our engagement party details to follow soon....

Obsession: Cupcakes

One dessert that we'll definitely be serving up at our reception is cupcakes. Marc has asked for red velvet flavor and I'm hoping to accent each one of these with a little sugar diamond on top. Apart from the fact that cupcakes are 'in' right now, I also think that they add a personal touch to the occasion. Don't worry we'll still have other surprises in store for our bride & groom's cakes....

Obsession: Crystals

I can't say enough about my fascination with crystals. To me, they are just so elegant. Plus, the natural reflection of light they provide makes me happier than any color scheme. Right now, I'm obsessing over this champagne table & the perfectly centered manzanita tree that comes draped in more crystals than I can bare.
