The Fall 09 Bridal Fashion Week runway shows have come and gone, and today I’m in blogging heaven looking through all the runway photos I can find to choose some of my favorite looks to share with you. I’m in awe of the innovation many designers continue to create, and their ability to make each wedding dress so beautiful, so unique and so full of personality. Because isn’t that exactly what you hope for in a wedding? Beautiful, unique and full of personality? Oh fashion, I do love you.
Today’s Real Wedding of Lisa and Brent comes to us from the lovely ladies of One Thousand Words Photography. It was an intimate, personal and playful event that took place in the spectacularly rustic yet urban-chic venue, Sodo Park by Herban Feast.
Lisa and Brent took time before their ceremony to see each other and take pictures, and the results are undeniable. Their photos are full of fun, and having that private time together early in the day eased their nerves, and allowed them much more time to mingle with guests during their cocktail hour.
Personal touches filled the day, like the flowers designed by Lisa’s mother, the rings designed by a family friend, the personal vows they read during their ceremony, and the airplane groom’s cake and seating cards that gave a nod to Brent’s passion for being a pilot. The staff at Sodo Park and Herban Feast Catering worked seamlessly to turn the room over from the ceremony to the family style dinner to the dance party reception while keeping the guests entertained with delicious, organic drinks and snacks.
Lisa and Brent used a muted color palette of pale blue and khaki with a touch of pink added in as an accent, and really took advantage of the unfinished look of the wood beams and concrete floors inside Sodo Park to complete their theme. This is such a gorgeous, natural look for any wedding, so if it’s your favorite too, here are a few more ideas for an laid-back, rustic, blue and khaki wedding…

If you’re like most brides these days, the Internet is your best friend. You’re reading blogs and searching the Internet for inspiration, shopping online for wedding gifts and decor, comparing vendor’s websites to find your perfect professional match, and you have ideas, images, fashion options and urls coming out your ears. How in the world do you keep track of all of that?
Well, Domino Magazine, the fabulous “Guide to Living with Style”, has a fun option on their website that just might do the trick. Domino’s Deco File feature allows you to save images from nearly any website directly to your own personal image library, and although it was designed to keep track of decorating ideas, I think it could be fantastically useful for wedding planning as well. Save images and products from any source that inspires you and organize them by topic into individual books to refer back to, to share with your friends, or to make public for other Domino readers to enjoy. You can even upload photos already saved on your computer or send in images from your cell phone. Scope out the other public Deco Books for more gorgeous eye candy and take advantage of the stunning decor and paint color palettes from Domino Magazine itself. To be both organized and inspired, what bride wouldn’t love that?
