Coastal Inspiration

This is probably one of my faves to date, we were thrilled that it was featured on both 100 Layer Cake and Pottery Barn's blog!  Faria Beach is a very special place to our family, we wanted to embrace this amazing view, but did not want to do a "typical" beach theme.  We decided to use elements that would pop against the beautiful blue, grey & sand palette.  Enter my current obsession with bougainvillea - it was the perfect contrast to pair with the blushes, peaches & magentas that we decided to use for the florals.  It grows everywhere in Ventura County, so it made sense to incorporate it into our local photo shoot.  Anna Delores Photography killed it with these amazing photos, that Lady knows how to use light like no other!


I love when I have the freedom to create something unexpected.  This bouquet was a dream!


Crystal Huber Makeup got to work with Brooke who is beautiful beyond words!  


 Love these Pottery Barn pillows!


A Charming Occasion added the straw mats under a painted pallet for a fun seating alternative.


MJB Cakes is a baking genius.  Seriously, her stuff is always delicious & always gorgeous!


The gloom that day was perfect, we couldn't have asked for better weather!
