Peggy + Erik: Rustic Sonoma Wedding

January 24th, 2013

We’re back with more of Peggy and Erik’s gorgeous Sonoma wedding by A Savvy Event! If you haven’t seen the first installment of this amazing event, go check out their dreamy “getting ready” photos and emotional ceremony. Their wedding is all romance, with ethereal creams and whites, playful pinks, deep browns, and pops of purple and green.

Both Peggy and Erik are obsessed with their puppies! They had to make them a special part of their big day. We’ve seen more and more pets incorporated into weddings; unless you have an unruly furry friend, we say go ahead! We like the personal touch a pet adds to such a formal event.

Aren’t these guys precious? They were extremely well behaved, and seemed to enjoy the attention!

We couldn’t get enough of the yummy light at Anderson Ranch; the rustic setting was the perfect backdrop for this romantic duo!

Peggy said she saw our work first on Ruffled,the Dawn Ranch Wedding, and fell in love. “The shots made the wedding look so magical. I really loved it and that is what I wanted for my wedding. I didn’t want to be so posed, or over the top – I wanted it to be like someone was photographing me secretly while I was having the best themed party ever.”

This feels like a moment out of time – they could be lovers from any era. We just love these two!

Sometimes it’s the smallest moments that are our favorite.

So many amazing places to pose around Anderson Ranch! It’s rural and rustic, but not completely overgrown; such a fabulous venue! “I love all the antiques, and being that they come from France I wanted to really incorporate as much of that feel [into the wedding] as possible. A lot of my wedding has been themed around the Ranch being vintage France.” We can see all the beautiful old-world France inspiration! C’est magnifique!

So now that you’ve seen all the perfect personal moments of Peggy and Erik just after their “I do’s”, you’re in for a treat! We can’t wait to show you all the beautiful details that were incorporated into their stunning reception!

Peggy + Erik : A Timeless Ranch Wedding

January 23rd, 2013

Hello lovelies! We can’t wait to show you all the wonderful details in this Romantic Sonoma wedding at Kenwood Ranch. Margaret (who goes by Peggy) and her charming husband Erik put their heads together, along with A Savvy Event, to create a day that was completely personal. Peggy let us in on her wedding planning strategy, “We are doing everything OUR way! We didn’t really listen to anyone when we started to plan and really agreed that we were going to make the day solely about us having an amazing time.” Peggy let us know what the experience of finding her venue was like: “I didn’t want to feel like I was in a venue where everyone else in town had already been married. I wanted something with a soul – that I actually felt like it lived and breathed when I wasn’t there.” The Kenwood venue is filled with antique furniture and art, and has a very rustic feel to it.

These amazing invitations were entirely designed by Peggy! The girl has some skills! “I designed and printed and assembled all of the wedding invitations. It was so much work, but I had such a great time doing it.” Can you get enough of these?? The layering of different antique patterns and designs gives a completely authentic feel to the invitations.

We’ve never seen anything as gorgeous or timeless as this poufy lace stunner! “A lot of my wedding has been themed around the Ranch being vintage France, and my dress which is very Nicole Richie’s dress meets Grace Kelly – with a whole lot of me mixed in.” – Peggy

Erik put some flare into his attire with these customized cufflinks with his puppy’s picture on them! Both Peggy and Erik have special connections to their dogs; they even invited them down the aisle!

These two sweethearts had to be present at Peggy and Erik’s big day!

We can’t believe how gorgeous Peggy and Erik’s Ranch ceremony was, but this is only the beginning! We have two more beautiful posts on this wedding with some dreamy portraits, unbelievable decor details, and of course more rustic romance!! Stay tuned lovebirds! xo

Tina’s Baby Shower by Very Merry Events!

January 21st, 2013

We have the most wonderfully pink little baby shower from Very Merry Events! She styled an adorable elephant-themed shower for Tina and her baby girl, Elle. Unfortunately Elle needed a little more time in the hospital, so she couldn’t attend her own bash! Her parents and their friends had fun swapping pictures and basking in the excitement, while enjoying some lovely desserts and drinks! Enjoy the cuteness!

Awesome Things: Chelsey’s Purple Sparkle Party

January 17th, 2013

We love throwing bashes for our friends – especially when we make most everything ourselves! Chelsey’s 30th birthday at Beatnik Studios needed some serious color and bling! One of the few things we didn’t make ourselves were the amazing sequinned linens from La Tavola fine linen rentals – we find inspiration every time we walk in there! Making this DIY party completely coated Tinywater Studio in a layer of glitter, but we think it was worth it!
