Real Weddings- Lisa and Brent

October 24, 2008 | editorial team

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…

Organize your Wedding Planning Inspiration with Domino Magazine’s Deco File

October 22, 2008 | editorial team

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? 

wedding planning photos and inspiration organized by domino magazine deco file

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?

Reader Inspiration Board- a Vintage Wedding in a Modern Loft Space

October 20, 2008 | editorial team

Last week I received an e-mail from Carmel, a bride in New Zealand planning a wedding with a theme I just couldn’t resist. She’s combining her love of vintage fashion with the clean, minimal lines of a New York loft style gallery space. Be still my beating heart! She asked for a little help finding ideas and putting together an inspiration board, and I was more than happy to comply… vintage and modern style wedding fashion, decor and inspiration board

Top row: Carmel’s dress is by Temperly London, the same dress that the lovely Jennifer Garner recently wore to her movie premiere, except Carmel’s is ivory with clear, beaded glass crystals. Instead of a bouquet she will be a carrying this blue clutch to match her Art Deco style wedding ring. I thought these gorgeous Oscar de la Renta blue and purple crystal ribbon sandals from Net-a-Porter.com would fit right in with her bridal look.

Second row: For her wedding and reception decor it’s all about glass and candles, adding warmth to the stark white interior of the gallery. Glass in vintage inspired shapes like these candle holders from CB2 will blend the modern and vintage vibes together, and simple bouquets like this white Cattleya orchid bouquet from Martha Stewart can decorate the tables in clear glass vases.

Third row: Make the most of the dramatic architecture and interesting spaces with some clean white benches and pillows for guests to lounge on, and small sparkling votives covering every surface like in these romantic photos from GH Kim Photography and J. Garner Photography. Get the groom into a classic black tuxedo, for a sharp look that never goes out of style.  

Fourth row: Glittering chandeliers will bring an old fashioned glamour to the minimal loft space, and great deals can be found at Gallery 802. 

Fifth and sixth rows: Instead of a traditional wedding cake, try a dessert buffet with candies, cookies and petit fours piled high in vintage jewelry and gift boxes like in these sweet photos styled by Paul Lowe via Vivian Artists, or colorful Parisian macaroons in glass dishes like these from Paulette Macarons in Beverly Hills.

Seventh and eight rows: Carmel’s wedding party will be dressed to the nines with the men in handsome tuxedos, and the women in varying styles of jewel tone dresses like Marc Bouwer’s GlamIt! sapphire sateen gown, and Vera Wang’s navy satin belted gown, delphinium deep v-neck gown, and fuchsia charmeuse halter dress from Bluefly.com. Add some sparkling jewelry like this Kenneth Jay Lane Swarovski feather cuff from Net-a-Porter.com for an elegant antique inspired touch.

Thanks Carmel! Keep us up to date on all your exciting wedding finds; we can’t wait to see how it turns out!
