I wanted to feature this wedding on our blog as it’s something so bold but it totally works. A comination of masculinity and femininity with soft pastel flowers and decorations against raw urban  features .The wedding was held on the 11th floor of a downtown LA industrial building. After the ceremony guests watched the sunset over the cityscape. Guests were then shown through drapes into a dinner reception in the centre of the space.

A lot of brides are moving away from the traditions of weddings but still like to keep touches here and there. For those who are not big on a traditional veil, a bridcage veil is a great alternative and adds a touch of vintage glamour to the style of your wedding. Two Olives have found some of the most gorgeous birdcage veils we could find online to show you.

I came across the beautiful wedding of one of my favourite authors, Lauren Weisberger who wrote The Devil Wears Prada and Chasing Harry Winston, over at Wedding Style Magazine and by the looks of it this wedding was just bliss.

After a year or so of dating Mike proposed and took Lauren on a private sail around Manhattan. He then surprised her by having her family waiting for them at a riverside park with flowers, balloons and lunch. Wanting to get married before her promotional tour Chasing Harry Winston they took advantage of a cancellation and booked Anguilla’s Cap Juluca. It was a four day celebration with 120 close friends and family. They followed this up with a three week honeymoon in Africa and the Maldives.

I love a wedding that is simple, elegant, close, intimate and romantic. This real wedding was held in Austin, Texas and was planned by the bride while she lived in Boston. The majority of the details, she planned herself but hired a wedding planner to help fill in the last details and coordinate the day.

I love everything about this set up from the random placement of tables to the romantic lighting, to the simple table covers and chairs, to the fact that the tables aren’t swamped with glitter, favours, mirrors, vases etc.

Here are some words from the bride about how they planned their wedding and chose vendors”

“Choosing our vendors was really serendipitous. We planned the entire wedding from Boston and only came to Austin once we had selected the majority of our vendors and had reserved our venue. We wanted a wedding venue that embodied the Lone Star State and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is definitely quintessentially Texas. Once we had secured our venue, we began searching for other vendors. This led us to Style Me Pretty, where we found our wonderful photographer. As a photographer myself, finding a photographic artist who could beautifully capture our wedding day was extremely important to me. We found that and more in Suzi Varin of Q Weddings. Suzi suggested we minimally hire a day of coordinator, especially since we were planning things from a distance, and this led us to Becky Brock of BZ Events.

Becky was vital to the success of our wedding weekend and also a very helpful resource for finding our florist (Erin Knipp with Rosehip Flora), the transportation company we would utilize to transport all of our out of town guests throughout the weekend, the cake artist (Michelle’s Patisserie) and even our wonderful officiant, Mike Rinehart. Our florist, Erin, was especially amazing (and patient!). We had a vision for floral arrangements and bouquets that incorporated native Texas plants. Everything was to be designed around the beautiful and unique succulents that are indigenous to the state and can also be found growing at the Wildflower Center. Erin’s designs were exactly what we were looking for.

Food was also extremely important, as was having a menu that represented the food from Texas. The Wildflower Center had a list of preferred caterers we were limited to but after speaking with Jonathan from Creative Creations, we knew we would be in good hands. Jonathan and his staff created a southwest inspired menu that was the perfect. Planning a wedding felt a little like putting together a puzzle. In the end, the pieces all fit together perfectly.”

This image was taken from a wedding held at a home formerly owned by Frank Sinatra. I totally love this lounge area the couple created but think it would be great to use for any kind of backyard party. It would be easy enough to re-create this in your own backyard with any style of cushions you want to use and can just imagine this on a cooler night with a nice, toasty fire in the middle!

Most people probably don’t think of this, but what do grooms-to-be do to ask someone to be their groomsman? Some men probably find this part a bit awkward, especially if it isn’t completely clear who should be their groomsmen.

Over at The Wedding Chicks, there’s a new “Wedding Dude” called Mike, who reports on weddings and wedding planning from a grooms point of view. They have designed these awesome cards just for the guys and are a very cool alternative for asking someone to be your groomsman. They have two templates: “Dude, will you be my groomsman?” and “Dude, will you be my best man?”
