today’s lovely inspiration is a collaborative effort of some extremely talented friends, & featured over at Ruffled blog!!  Sarah Park Events is the creative force behind pulling us all together & creating such an amazing backdrop, as well as giving me the chance to work with beautiful 3D paper cubes! She is so darn super talented, gals, you’ll be blown away by what she can dream up for your wedding day!!  & so many gals ask me afterwards, how to preserve their bouquet.  I don’t particularly like dried flowers, they’re dusty & dried out with faded color.  Yuck!  Here is a much better alternative!  Sarah has the amazing ability to create a watercolor painting that look just like fresh flowers!!!  Be sure to check out her Etsy shop & have one custom made.  It can be your own wedding gift 😉  OK ~ back on track to the shoot! Reading Art Works is a great raw, warehouse type space, & we had so much fun adding our colorful blooms & succulents & tillandsia against the dynamic white walls & rough wood floor.  & let’s mention the gorgeous wood table & bench provided by Dylan Design Co.  Stunning.  And he & his lovely wife happened to be our lovely best man & maid of honor | while our real life couple bride & groom had their own wedding just a few weeks after the shoot.  Tabibi Design created the gorgeous paper suite, & Whipped Bakeshop created the adorable cookies & cake.  Oh so yummy!!  & of course, the uber talented duo at Lauren Fair Photography captured the day.  While these images below, came out of my camera, with the exception of the last few, {hey, I love to practice, whenever I can!!} know Lauren & Tim & team are some of my favorite photographers!!
