Christina and Kyle are one of the cutest and craftiest couples I’ve ever seen! Not only were they both heavily involved in planning their charming Portland, Oregon wedding, Christina even took a metalsmithing class so she could make Kyle’s wedding band as well as the bridesmaid’s earrings AND she made her bouquet using vintage flower brooches she collected for months. After their ceremony a fleet of pedicabs picked up the entire wedding party to transport them 7 blocks to where the reception was held. Brenton Salo was on hand to capture all the memories of their big day!

Today I’m heading up to San Francisco and Napa wine country for my bachelorette party and bridal shower brunch. The brunch will be held in Napa at the lovely Carneros Inn. My invitations were so lovely and created by Heidi of Zenadia Designs. My girlfriends Michelle Curtis and Jenny Devoto worked with her to create a surprise invitation booklet that was SO me; Eyelet lace, yellow and white gingham with lemons on it. It is so gorgeous! Wait till you all see it!! Thanks Heidi! Nancy Liu Chin, the goddess of floral design in SF is styling my shower- I can’t wait to see what she does when we get up there on Saturday. Caroline from Tiny Water Photography will be capturing all of the special moments at the shower! I feel so blessed to get to be surrounded by so many great friends, and the work of so many fabulous wedding vendors!! The inspiration for the shower is lemons. Beyond excited to see how it all turns out and to share it with you!

The Image that sparked it all! Maria from Ritzy Bee shared this image on my blog during her guest post almost a year ago. Thanks Maria I love it! xoxo
