Pretty in Pink Wedding! {Reminiscing}

Before we began Lambs & Kings, we coordinated wedding events for lovely couples with lovely weddings. Last year, we had the pleasure of coordinating a drop dead gorgeous wedding in Aptos, Ca at the the Pacific Estate and Vineyard. It was a  cute country chic estate that had a small vineyard and a large lawn and patio that overlooked the Santa Cruz mountain scenery. It was a perfect setting for vintage inspired chic wedding which is exactly what our clients were dreaming of. My bride is super creative and dreamt up the whole event and knew exactly what she wanted from the shades of pink, to the collected vintage glass, vintage typewriter guestbook, and tons of crafty projects! Everything was meticulously thought out.

We were so giddy to find out that this wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty yesterday!! Its not a surprise as the event was so beautiful and photog Stephan Pappas did a superb job capturing it and Nicole Ha created a beautiful feel with her stunning florals. The entire team was great. Head on over to Style me Pretty to see the FULL post and all the glorious images.

This is just a small peek. Give them some love on the SMP site! Seeing these images reminds me how much fun we had doing weddings and working with all our awesome clients and vendors...seriously, all of them are awesome. We definitely do miss it. However, since we are super busy with the business re branding process, and the possibility of going back to school and/or starting a family, we had to put it on hold this year. We are planning to start styling events and doing prop design soon with the focus more on intimate events such as smaller/intimate weddings (such as this one), parties and showers and photo shoots. Stay tuned!

Do you have a wonderful eye catching wedding that you want to share?! Let us know!

Refreshed and Lovely

{Kate spade's tumblr & pasteled}

Its been a bit quiet in our camp the past couple weeks. I just started a new job and for the past weeks Ive been straddling two jobs because while going though my last few weeks, Ive also been working and training for my new job...so that lead to loooong days.

With everything settled down and back to having "one" regular job, I can finally get back to having a life....and getting back to refreshing my blog.

Ive been wanting to refresh the blog for a couple weeks now and just open all the windows, letting all the air and light in. Weddings are definitely one of my loves...but I really want to shine the light on other things I love.

So be prepared to see a little more variety here on the blog, not just wedding related posts, but on a plethora of subjects. You'll start seeing more Interior styling and home making (I like to call "domesticating") , and fashion; my favorite style icons, outfits, online stores, and who knows what else. Why the mix up? I feel like all these aspects reflect on my personality and my style and my inspirations which intern inspire my weddings and ideas....which i hope inspire you!!

I love the above image. It is so refreshing and glamorous!!

A 1920's wedding: Joann+Jon

Todays wedding is from the talented photog duo of Paco & Betty . They Shot the wedding of Joann and John, which was dripping with 1920's dreaminess...and their photography skills definitely added to the effect. With Nestledown, in the Santa Cruz Mtns set as the backdrop to their nuptials, Joann and Jon said "i do" amongst family, friends, towering trees, and an amazing amount of well thought out detail that just made for a perfect event.

Seriously, what is not to love about their wedding?! The fashion was impeccable and I especially love the newspaper boys handing out their newspaper programs (How Genius...and fitting). Her Monique Lhuillier dress is totally gorgeous and fits her an their event to a T.

All their details are so effortlessly amazing, from their vintage antique vignettes, to wooden menu boards, carved wood centerpiece holders, succulents, perfectly executed dessert table, and super cute table numbers.

Vintage Micro Mini Dress & Green Vintage Photography

{images by green vintage photography}

"Hello Gorgeous!!" love the dress right? It is so "mad-men-esque"....so of course i was totally swooning over it.

Leslie of Green Vintage Photography shot these engagement photos for Stephanie (also of green vintage photography) & Erik in Sacramento, CA (woo-hoo)... you will notice the capitol building in the last photo. They did an amazing job. The vibe and feel of the whole shoot is awesome!!




This dress was Stephanie's mother's wedding dress. She wore it in 1971 and Stephanie had it altered to a micro mini length...and viola! total vintage dress gorgeousness!! The sleeves, the lace detail on the top & neckline...*sigh* now this is how you wear "your mom's wedding dress"
