Jaime + Melinda on 100 Layer Cake!

A Wes Anderson theme, custom denim runners on wooden tables, hand-drawn invitations and inserts for Viewfinder escort cards, confetti cannons, an 80's cover band, a white porcelain fox for guests to sign, an all-woman mariachi band for cocktail hour, massive tree installations in an old cathedral, and a bride and groom who drew themselves as a fox and otter - we loved every single detail of Jaime + Melinda's wedding at Vibiana, and loved working with such a fantastic couple even more. Check out the post on 100 Layer Cake for more details and inspiration. 

Thanks for letting us be part of your wedding, Jaimelinda! Photos by The Weaver House. 

SUMMER 'MAIDS

We always encourage our brides to think outside the bridesmaid bubble when curating the attire for their wedding party. We are really loving neutral + feminine dresses for bridesmaids this summer. Check out some of our favorites at these online shops. These would also be great for date nights, drinks with friends, and all kinds of summer fun. - xoxo Team BP

Martha Stewart Weddings

Ring Ring!

There's been a lot of chit chat 'round here about engagement + wedding rings. (Let's just say we know someone who is needing a hint). So we all dove into the interwebs to do some searching for the latest trends + the hottest designers. Even us married gals got into it! We all tended toward Anna Sheffield, Melissa Joy Manning, Single Stone and Mociun. You guys have any other designers you love? 

Here and There: Carmel & Monterey

Help, Please! We're heading up the California coast for a double header wedding weekend. We are looking for hard-working, fun-loving gals who are located in the Carmel and Monterey area. Please contact us at bash please@me.com if interested. 

Book Signing at BHLDN Chicago!

We visited lovely Chicago in April for our book signing and couldn't have had more fun. We received a warm welcome at BHLDN Chicago and got to meet tons of fun guests (not to mention try on some beautiful gowns ourselves!). The food, the city, and the people were fantastic, and we're planning our next jaunt to Chicago the second we can. Check out the photos above and keep checking back here to see where we're headed to next!

MIXOLOGY EVENT

Mixology with the elements! Our gal pal Bri Emery from Designlovefest asked us to create the decor for a fun backyard party with cocktails by our other buddy Talmadge from Pharmacie. The party was small & intimate and the theme was the four elements: water, fire, wind & earth. We had a blast creating some earthy elements along with our pals from Yeah! Rentals and Yasmine Floral Design. 

And who could have a mixology party without the creator himself, big shout out to Talmadge from Pharmacie who mixed up some cocktails that would rock your socks off. The festivities could not be complete with out a pretty vintage glass from Casa de Perrin to cheers! We are all about the summer parties. - xoxo Paige & Kelly
