Colorful Pallete: Jungle inspired
board created by Zenadia Designs
Don't you love all these colors!!? Its so fresh and vibrant. A Modern Jungle inspired event! I was inspired by this color palette and inspiration board made from Zenadia Designs and decided to make an inspiration board of my own. This was probably one the funnest ones I have done because you can get really creative with it. My fav part was incorporating some of my favorite patterns like Ikat and trellis patterns....which i love to use in my home.
You can incorporate all these little details like subtle leopard prints, bamboo accents, ferns & palms and wear fun statement pieces and accessories like the turquoise feather necklace or gi-normous hair flower pictured below. you can show off, patterned linens, vibrant colored glass on your table scapes, breezy, flowy dresses, tropical flowers of every vibrant color, safari details....shall I keep going?
Well, below is my inspiration board with all things that evoked a modern jungle feel to me. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it. Made on Polyvore...as always =)

Sneak Peak: Jinjie + James
Today's post is a behind the scenes sneak peak at Jinjie & James' 8.28.10 wedding.
We had a blast coordinating their event at St. Joseph's Basilica and the San Jose Museum of Art.
The day definitely had its challenges starting with the sprinkler system turning on in the "getting ready" room for the bride and bridesmaids and flooding the room. However the night went well and you wouldn't be even be able to tell from the Bride and Groom's faces. The bride handled the situation with patience and poise...it was amazing!!
J +J wanted to host a chic and modern event so their choice of the San Jose Museum of Art was a great choice. their colors were silver/gun metal gray with pops of fuchsia.....and of course you cant forget the bling.
Utilizing a whole lot of the museum, J+J used the museum lobby for cocktail hour , the grand entrance down the big stair case, and for partying the night away. The Cafe housed the bar and the photobooth as well as the buffet food tables. The main Wendell ballroom was where the guests wined and dined and where the family shared a slide show and did a family vow, sand ceremony.
The details were for major importance for my bride so we had to make sure everything was perfect for her and hubby =). She had so many wonderful ideas and details she wanted to incorporate. From a custom made money box, puzzle piece name cards on industrial steel, a crystal curtain back drop, to their very own art installation incorporated into the decor, it was all thought out and we were very determined to get it right for J+J.
Personally, my favorite was the family vows, sand ceremony. It was very touching. Both Jinjie and James, entered their new life together with their own kids and they wanted to make sure that their new family unit got off to a wonderful start. The new husband and wife recited vows to each other's kids...which was very profound and moving...and then they asked the kids to respond to their own vows as well. Then they each poured their own vase of sand into a larger one and each kid received a family medallion. It really was my favorite part of the whole evening.
This was probably the coolest thing ever. Their guest book was a puzzle. One of the groomsmen and his wife had to section off a part of the puzzle to each table and each person at that table got a piece of that section. for set up. We had to place each piece with each person's escort card. Both the puzzle piece and escort card had a magnet attached to them. We then assembled them on the corrugated piece of steel (pictured above) and as people came into the reception, they grabbed their name and puzzle piece. Before dinner. Guests were asked to combine their pieces with those at their table and when they got excused for dinner they came up to this table and placed their section in the designated spot (the groomsman where there to assist them) and each person signed the piece of steel. It made for a pretty awesome guestbook and keepsake for the couple.
We hope you enjoyed the sneak peak...stay tuned for the pro photos from Beth Dekker. She is a pretty awesome photographer.

Wedding Wednesday: Dreamy dresses and Wishing trees
I absolutely love wishing trees as a wedding detail. You can glam it up with crystals or make a more playful colorful type. Either way, Its a great way to have your guests write you something special and is a unique alternative to a guest book. We plan on having one at the wedding, just need to get the rest of my supplies. Another alternative to the tree is to have a wish bowl. you can have them write their message or wish on a piece of special stationary and have them drop into a nice bowl or hurricane glass.

Aren't these dresses dreamy? I have mine already but I still love looking at all the frills and drama that come out of these new collections. Tulle, Frill, and ruffles are all the rage now.....and why wouldn't it be...its your wedding...the perfect time to be a girly girl or a show stopper (minus the diva attitude though).
If you are still looking for a wedding dress, don't be afraid to be daring and add an element of drama or unexpectedness to your wedding dress. Have fun with it and still be beautiful! Go ahead and try that mermaid style or one shoulder, or that empire cut.....multi layered??? or super poofy?? Why not?? you cant rule it out until you try it on....you never know, you may end up with something you totally didn't expect.
