Love all this color! What a great wedding to finish off 2012!!! Winter with a punch of color:)
From the lovely bride Amanda....“The theme of my wedding came from a need to do the unusual: create a summer wedding in winter. Due to when we got engaged, I wouldn’t have been able to put together the wedding I wanted by the time summer hit (just several month later), but we thought December would give us enough cushion. Fortunately, California weather allows for this kind of thing. The colors I picked were cheerful red-oranges, salmons, mints, and teals to give things that lively, mid-year feel. I also knew that I wanted things to have an Anthropologie vibe – a modern aesthetic meets vintage-y charm – so we kept the patterns of fabric whimsical, made flowers for the aisle, mixed cotton into the floral arrangements, and had our wonderful florist create our place-card table design: a scrolling book-wall paying homage to mine and Jamason’s English degrees and general love of literature.
Also, as an artist, I couldn’t help myself from taking charge of all stationary design. I tried to pull on a classic Disney cartoon-modern feel for all the invites, menus, place-cards, etc. We just wanted to people to know, from the second they received their invites, that they’d be having fun”
