{Real Engagement} Tasneem & Abhi: Dreamy L.A. Engagement Session

This engagement session is one part gorgeous scenery (at the Griffith Observatory), and one part cute loving couple, combined with a talented photographer.  What you get are beautiful dreamy images of a couple very much in love.

Aren't these images so beautiful!?  Photography by Matei Horvath submitted via Two Bright Lights

{A Lovely Roundup} Unique Escort Card Ideas

Escort cards are what tell your guests where they are to sit at your reception, but they can serve a much bigger purpose.  They can be a great place to tie in your wedding theme, decor, monogram, or color palette.  Gone are the sad little folded escort cards laid out on a plain table.  These escort cards put a more unique spin on seat assignments!

{Inspiration Board} Peachy Keen & Green

I think peach is the new pink.  It is soft, feminine, and lovely but you can sell your fiance on it because it isn't pink.  And it works as a neutral because you can pair it with almost any other color and it works.  You can pair it with brighter colors and make your palette cheery and summery like this, or with browns and tans to make it more rustic like this.  But I think my favorite pairing is with another soft color, like this peach and sea glass green combination.

If I were getting married all over again I think this would be my chosen color palette!  It is just.so.pretty!

{Real Wedding} Jessica & Dwight: Cheery Morning Ceremony with Fun Nighttime 80's Themed Reception

This wedding is doubly good.  It is full of cheery yellow love in its morning ceremony, and the couple had an 80's themed party as their reception later that night.  With an 80's cover band and everyone wearing 80's outfits.  I would love to be invited to a wedding like that so I could get my crimper out of retirement (you know you had a crimper too!)

The ceremony venue was pure rustic gorgeousness.

At the end of the ceremony, guests serenaded the couple with "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles.

I love DIY petal cones!

There may be nothing better than billy button boutonnieres.

The stationery suite set the warm and cheery tone.  

And check out that 80's themed reception card above!

The lovely florals were simple single arrangements and multiples in vintage mason jars and bottles.

And now, on to the party!

This might be my favorite picture.  Ever.

If you're the bride and having an 80's themed party, who better to be than Madonna!?

What a happy and fun wedding!  It looked like a true celebration of the couple and I'm so honored I got to share it with you.  Congrats Jessica and Dwight!
