Summer is on my mind and I am so eager for endless warm nights, picnics, and pies! This inspiration board encompasses my thoughts for summer: it's a bit rustic, care-free, vibrant, unique, and elegant. I hope you enjoy! Aleah

More images from our Exquisite Weddings Magazine shoot - by Rippee Photography

The lovely and talented Teri Rippee from Rippee Photography sent us over some additional shots from our Exquisite Weddings Magazine spread and we wanted to share. Please read our last post for our complete list of talented wedding artists we brought on board and a bit more about our inspiration!
By using rustic captain's chairs and benches, we created a California winery-meets-California coastal table that is fitting for brides and grooms.
Our goal was to create a design that was gorgeous but comfortable for every guest. Classic summer sangria, petite desserts, and a post-dinner European cheese board really enable guests to eat, drink, and visit well into the night.
Copper candle holders from Annette Gomez put off such a warm and welcoming glow - it was a magical setting.
By using a rather frilly table runner atop burlap linen, we softened the look while still keeping it comfortable and not too over-the-top.
The models were both amazing and we loved this cover shot!

Thank you again to all of the amazing artists who helped bring our vision to life!
