More from the Viceroy.

Good morning!

Here are some more shots from our shoot at the Viceroy.

I love working in Palm Springs, but the heat is definitely something to keep in mind if you are having your wedding outdoors.

To bring in a mass of color without having to worry about something failing in the sun, we made these fabric flowers. To be honest, the were kind of a pain in ass to make. I have sort of a love/hate for all projects Martha (which is where I got the template). Out of her 6 templates online, only one seemed to do the trick, so we just made different sizes and colors.

I also tried to keep in mind the heat when designing the actual flowers. Most people think of daisies and mums as to common, but when put together with a couple other things, it looks fresh and different. Anemone's hold up suprisingly well.

Same with the bouquets- pretty hardy stuff in here-

Baxter I miss you. Please come back from NY. We need our mascot.

Viceroy Palm Springs.

Helloo there.

I'm a little late on my posting today. But I'm super excited to show you these photo's.

I got the opportunity to put together a beautiful table at the Viceroy Palm Springs with Alison Events. The endlessly talented Jose Villa captured the whole thing and Hello Lucky did a fantastic job on the paper goods. Like ridiculously fantastic. Seriously, hire those ladies if you need anything custom. They are out of control.

What do you think?

Fun stuff, right?

You want to know what else- the lovely Joel Serrato took super 8 of our whole party. Yet another super sweet, talented person who makes life dreamy.

Check out the full post here at Green Wedding Shoes. And tomorrow, I believe there is more to come over there.

Thanks everyone for such a fun weekend!

C magazine.

My absolute favorite magazine came out with their first ever wedding edition today. I am so honored to be in it. I'm in some very good company. Friends up north and friends down south.

Haven't seen the whole thing, but here is a tear- thank you Amanda!

Go pick it up at your newstand/market!

Posting lameness.

hello there!

I've been traveling for work. But it doesn't much feel like work when you are collaborating with friends and have super lovely clients at an amazing venue.

My largest complaint today is that I stuffed myself with too much dessert at our client's tasting. Rough, huh?

Here is a quickie photo that my co-pilot snapped today on our way back from Santa Barbara.

I think that is wild mustard flower up in the hills. Have a good week- more fun things to post about tomorrow...

Daffodils.

If I have to answer the question 'what is your favorite flower?' my quick fire response is always daffodils.

Partly because that is what we always had in our garden beds growing up. I would make little bunches and hand them out to my teammates at weekend matches. Yep, I was a pretty dorky kid.

I love their pencil thin stems and bright yellow tea cup petals. It forever makes me think of the scene in old school Willy Wonka where Mr. Wonka picks a daffodil out of his candy garden to drink the nectar as a tea, then takes a chomp of the actual cup. For a sugar deprived 10 year old, that was pretty much the stuff my dreams where made of.

They are a sure and steady sign of spring and warmer days. Even now that I live in a place that is one long sunny day, it just doesn't feel right to buy them until March (they usual start showing up at the mart around January).

Cheap and cheerful as cut flowers, hardy and super easy to grow in the garden, they are forever my favorite flower.

Trader Joe's has cuts right now for 1.39 a bunch. Or plant some bulbs. You are really supposed to plant these guys in the Fall months, but I might try to trick nature and pop some in around my citrus trees. They are great to lure bees over and according to the American Daffodil Society, like the shady companionship of a citrus tree.

Doesn't this look dreamy?

Via the Sartorialist. Oh how I wish I was there!

real jealous.

um- who the f@#k are these people?

Look at this amazing house. In Brooklyn.

Garett, why do we live in LA if this sort of light exists in Brooklyn? Just kidding really, I love where we live.

Having just moved into a new house that has white painted wood floors, I was immediately in awe/extremely jealous of this place. And then of course looked at both of their websites and am totally blown away by their combined talents. Check out her jewelry! I want it all.

Check out this post at Design*Sponge. It's worth scrolling down a bit to find it. And I can't wait to see what The Brooklyn Home Company will be.

Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse.

Good morning!

Today I am excited to show you what the wonderful ladies at 100 layercake and I worked on a few weeks back.

And, we were lucky enough to get Jose Villa to shoot it for us. You know those people who are just as nice as they are talented? Well, that's Jose. So gracious and so amazing at what he does. He's just a true pleasure.

We had the best time putting this together. Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse is ridiculous. We hardly had to do anything, it's so beautiful.

Check out the full post a 100 layercake to get some great ideas for your upcoming parties.

the dust has settled.

Whew! Kind of a whirlwind couple weeks!

The moving boxes are unpacked. Things are semi put away. Time to get back to work!

These are Icelandic poppies. A sign of spring. I think they are just as pretty closed as they are blooming. Something about their fuzzy little heads and stems always makes me smile.

Have a good Monday.
