Anthropology Chic

This was a really fun wedding. Our couple, Colleen and Eric, went for a fun and eclectic mid century modern romance feel with an Anthropology twist. Colleen collected lots of candle sticks, vases, cups, books and decorative pieces to use in very unique and ornate displays. We were thrilled to work with I Do Weddings!, Betwixt, ChileCo and Sweet Cheeks to bring her vision to life at La Jolla’s Darlington House. Colleen’s style has now spilled out beyond her wedding, she is now the inspiration and model for an upcoming Valentine’s Day shoot we are working on for Style Unveiled.

These ladies have style to spare.

A natural!

Fun bouquets with way fun dresses!

Love everything about this picture!

Colleen’s mom actually crocheted a flower for each place setting, each one was completely unique.

Here’s a tasty little party we did today. The theme was jelly beans and other candy, very fit for an 8 month old I’d say! Thank you so much to Authentic Flavors Catering for letting us come out and play and to Emilie of Darlington House for being awesome to work with, as always!

Fun jelly belly filled trays and vase!

Sake cups, how cool is that?

Sweet Succulents

Why do we love succulents? They grow out of the darnedest places! Here are pics of some of our newest installations set right outside of the office. Through furniture, unique artifacts and succulents we were able to set the scene of an outdoor living situation from getting ready in the morning to doing to laundry with a fun, vintage twist!
