Real Wedding: Jen + Jon in San Francisco

Take a look at this gorgeous wedding with a mix of historic and modern venues. Captured by Q Weddings, Jen and Jon’s wedding blends styles starting with a ceremony at San Francisco’s Swedenborgian Church, one of California’s first pure Arts & Crafts buildings (circa 1894), followed by a sunset reception at the stylish Clift Hotel. The couple’s color palette of ivory with hints plum and purples is striking against the white decor of the reception rooms.

Modern Wedding Inspiration: Chevron

I love the graphic punch that a chevron pattern brings to any item. It is subtle in geometry, but can have bold impact. Because of its versatility, it seems a natural transition to use chevrons in modern wedding decor. See a few of my recent favorite chevron items below.

Tuesday Shoesday: Manolo Blahnik Chandelier Sandals

Sometimes I think I am just drawn to exorbitantly expensive footwear! Today’s shoe pick is another pair a bit out of my price range, but still gorgeous to look at, no? These gold napa leather sandals by Manolo Blahnik, are embellished with chandelier-like crystal strands draping over the front. Beautiful. (Available here for $1595).
