Stu and Carissa had a special Palm Springs engagement session!
(more…)WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND YOUR WEDDING? // Chic, Cozy and a vintage feel. We also really wanted an intimate wedding. The people closest to us!
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE/FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR WEDDING DAY? // We both agree- THE CEREMONY! For me it felt like time stood still for Scott and I. I remember be so wrapped up into him, I truly didn’t notice anyone else! For Him- He loved the very first part of my vows. “I absolutely Love you”. I delivered it with a laughter and warmth and he says he knew It was the most organic thing I have ever said to him.
WHY WAS PHOTOGRAPHY IMPORTANT TO YOU? // For me Capturing this moment in a way that told a story was super important. I have also seen the same wedding photos over and over so I wanted something truly artistic. Scott felt the same way. He is actually a pretty great photographer himself (he dabbled in photography in college).
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUN & SPARROW? // Sun and Sparrow captured me with their magical photography and sincere hearts!
DID YOU DO ANY DIY PROJECTS? IF SO, WHAT? // Yes, I made all of my chalkboards, bridesmaids gifts and collected all of my own glassware. I purchased some Vintage pieces but also used a lot of recycled glass from my work and home.
WHAT WAS YOUR SOMETHING OLD, NEW, BORROWED, BLUE? // OLD– My Pearl Earrings I got from my Bridesmaid Brooke’s Wedding this Summer. It was my Bridesmaids Gift and I loved wearing them on my wedding day and I also rocked a sparkle jacket I wore on our first NYE in LA. NEW– My Dress, Veil and after party outfit. BORROWED– My Nana’s Gloves she wore on her wedding day and I Headband I got from a friend. BLUE– I wore Blue panties and blue heels! Haha =)
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR BRIDES WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PLANNING PROCESS? // A TON- but really everyone has their own journey. There were things I would say don’t spend your money on but those things might be important to someone else. So ROCK your wedding! Ok, One thing- DONT RENT THOSE HORRIBLE Tux’s – It was cheaper to buy and tailor a suit then to rent a tux or suit that didn’t really fit. Brides always have top pick when it comes to their big day and so should your man. Let him wear what he feels sexy in!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF BEING MARRIED NOW? // Being Married and he Sex. =) Maybe TMI but its the truth.
VENDORS // Apple Creek Ranch- AMAZING Location, Great Staff.. Breathtaking Views! // Photography – Sun & Sparrow // Coordinator & Florals- White Orchid Productions// The Border Grill- Saved our wedding Day. We had to fire our caterer ( Epicurean Cowboy) Two weeks out from our wedding Day. Border Grill and Lauren rescued us and was so awesome! The food and service was great. // Dress: Essence of Australia but I got all my accessories from ETSY // My veil – was about $800 cheaper on etsy that in a regular boutique. I also bought my belt, MOH Gift and Glassware on Etsy.
WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND YOUR WEDDING? // Vintage 1920’s Speakeasy
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE/FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR WEDDING DAY? // The Ceremony/ Exchanging Vows
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUN & SPARROW? // Beautiful photos and beautiful sisters! So easy to communicate with and work with. We wanted to have the best people to capture the best moments from our day and tell our story!
DID YOU DO ANY DIY PROJECTS? IF SO, WHAT? // Seating assignments through window-paned door // Printed guest name cards // Gold mercury glass candle votives // Chalk board table numbers // Flower centerpieces (purchase and set up courtesy of Nicole Alexandra Designs) // Chicken wire frame with drink menus (frame courtesy of Nicole Alexandra Designs)
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR BRIDES WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PLANNING PROCESS? // My best advice is to “Do you and you will be fine.” We didn’t want to be traditional at all. It was important for the whole wedding to really feel like us. That’s why we did it the way we did. I loved every moment.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF BEING MARRIED NOW? // No more wedding planning! And now planning the rest of our lives together.
