Doors... They're Not Just for Opening! Orange County Wedding location - Estate wedding 714-744-1608

 \Hi! I found an old door with a lovely window recently and it has now found a lovely home with all my wedding props! It's a wonderful accent and a lovely detail to add. The doors may be decorated with flowers, special sayings, family photos... there are any number of decoration ideas available. They can go anywhere but I particularly love them as the entrance to the ceremony site.

These are just  a few of the fun with doors!

"I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them." Elizabeth Taylor

We have beautiful French Doors for the assigned seating! No one will loose their cards!!!

In this picture, a special family photo display was added to the middle!

Welcome! An open door is the best welcome!

Is there a place for a door at your wedding? 

Doors and windows outside? Yes, they are a marvelous greeting and a beautiful way to invite your guests forward.






What's your dream? Let's have some fun....
Love,

Bold and Beautiful

Hi!

I met with Kallie and Nick this weekend to begin their wedding design/planning and a funny thing happened. 

We were tasting cake and deciding on the design. Kallie mentioned that she had purchased all sorts of items that were rich in color but didn't think it would go with her vintage theme. She showed me this beautiful ribbon design that she loved.  I asked if she could come back and bring all her accent pieces so I could have a look!

This is what she brought!! Bright and beautiful,  fun and playful and she loved it all. So did I!

We started talking and putting together different elements. This one needs paint, this one we can sew together, this teamed with this one is perfect, this one for a "welcome sign" and in an instant, we had her theme design and she loved it. 

I want to address her first concern; she was worried that all her items didn't have a vintage feel. In the pre-Victorian era, before Queen Victoria wore white to her wedding, all the Brides wore  rich color; burgundy, chartreuse, green, purple and so on. 

The elements that Kallie brought this weekend, all have that vintage feel; Bird Houses, fabric place mats, and floral cones. 

Your vintage theme can be anything you want it to be. Bringing all your elements together in a cohesive manner is the key. If you find something you love, find a special place for it!

You might have to paint it or team it with something else, but don't rule it out.

Have fun!! We did!

Thank you Kallie and Nick!

Love,
