Real Wedding: Lindsay + John in San Diego

This is such a fabulous New Year’s Eve wedding! Captured by Jenn Hopkins Photography, Lindsay and John celebrated the beginning of 2012 by exchanging vows in San Diego, California at the Hall of Champions. Being an architect, Lindsay brought her clean, crisp, modern style into every design aspect of her wedding. Gorgeous red dahlias provide a pop of color throughout the event. The reception was loaded with fun for guests, including a popcorn station, a photobooth, and a disco ball to set the mood on the dance floor. I really love the photograph of the bridal party throwing confetti on the bride and groom. What a great way to ring in the new year!

Color Palette Inspiration: Holiday Red

It is hard not to draw color inspiration from the current holiday season. I love a wedding that pairs neutrals with crisp, clean, vibrant red.

Real Wedding: Ale + Joey in Indiana

I love the pops of red details in this gorgeous modern wedding photographed by Jessika Feltz Photography! Ale and Joey met while attending Indiana University and moved to Wisconsin after graduation to start their careers. The couple traveled back to Indiana to be married amongst family this past July (on my birthday, in fact). They had a beautiful Church ceremony in Columbus, Indiana before driving off in a vintage Chevrolet to their winery reception in Seymour, Indiana. The reception took place in an open air tent with colorful paper lanterns suspended from ceiling. With a classic summer barbeque menu and shaved ice, Ale and Joey’s guests enjoyed a laid back summer reception.
