November Wedding: Lydia & Drew

In the days leading up to my first wedding anniversary I’m excited to share some of the beautiful pictures of our special day. We didn’t hire a photographer but asked an army of talented friends and family to take pics. We are forever grateful to Jen, Patrick, Beth, Aaron, George and Buck for these memories.

Rancho del Diablo Dormido in Malibu Canyon, CA

my brother Wyatt made us these letters in our signature font, they hung from tree branches

Mary and I splashed Ikea fabric with red paint

friends helped us get dressed

Our guest “cook” book was Sunday Suppers at Lucques (our favorite restaurant in LA)

darling Sarah made and packaged Rosemary Spiced Nuts

pre-ceremony refreshments

Amanda Koosed designed us a monogram and we made it into an ink stamp for paper cocktail napkins

whimsical painted fabric hangings

my cousin Sierra was the adorable flower girl

Amanda found us this signature font which we used everywhere, from the invitations to the seating chart!

my bouquet of gardenia, magnolia leaves and rosemary tied with a navy velvet ribbon

stunning bridesmaids in their own dresses

the handsome groom and groomsmen

a serious bunch

the bridesmaids carried their favorite love stories down the aisle

Drew gifted the groomsmen colorful socks as a thank you

Patrick captured under the magnolia leaf ceremony arch

the men in the bridal party wore fabric buttons from EmersonMade

dessert buffet with homemade treats from family and friends

a toast before we process

… to be continued

Oh my! The love story idea is a GREAT idea! I make alternative bouquets for brides that don’t want to “waste” flowers, but your idea is even more personal. Love, love, love it!
