Up on the rooftop.

This is downtown San Diego as seen from the rooftop of Hotel Solamar. I'm imagining sipping champagne with my newly appointed husband and everyone I love on this earth. Amazing.

Pretty in purple and peacock feathers.

I love the peacock feather accent in her headband. The purple flowers are a bold choice but she totally pulls this off. To view more pictures of this bride, click on the image. (She wears bright yellow pumps and they are absolutely fabulous.)

Epitome of a water hazard.

Someone sent this to me with the strict warning, "Do not get married on a dock." Good idea.

Nightmare before wedding.

Last night I had this crazy dream that my mum found this veil for me and wanted me to try it on the morning of the big day. When I put it on it felt like a beekeeper's head net. It kept getting thicker and thicker and it started to get dark and hot underneath all the tulle, so much so that I was having trouble breathing. Then I woke up gasping for air. I don't know what it is about those things, but I don't imagine wearing one at all.

They look kind of ghostly, don't you think?

The perfect backdrop.

Dave and I visited The Dana on Mission Bay this weekend. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect and we could both see ourselves planning our big day here. These trees are the backdrop to one of the ceremony sites. I'm in love with how they look in pictures. (See the rest of the web album here.)

Fade to white.

I need to own this dress. I would do everything in it. Get married in it, sleep in it... you get the idea.

Groom the groom.

I'm kind of liking this vest look for a groom. It would probably work best with a vintage inspired wedding. The trick is to have fitted shirt underneath that doesn't have big billowy arms. I don't want a pirate-inspired wedding. Aaargh, matey!

Intensity in tent city.

Ignore the all-white linens, flowers and chairs and look up at the beautiful tent lined with tiny twinklies! Now picture bold colored flowers and lush green grassy center pieces along with other pops of great color to make this look less traditional and more bohemian/Moroccan.

Go green. And sky blue.

I could totally get married in this lush secluded spot. It epitomizes the exact reason we moved to San Diego. This particular venue won't have any stunning city skyline views though. How can I incorporate both the beach and the city? Like this....

Who invited the clown?

I really like these invitations from Pearl Press. Another favorite is the Modern Lotus.

Midspring's Night Dream

How pretty would these be underneath a budding tree on a warm Spring night? Or on a table underneath a beautiful white tent draped with tiny twinklies all around?
