Western Glam Bridal Shower | Rios Lovell Winery | Cordially Invited Planners | Rustic Event Rentals

As I click through the photos, I still swoon over these beautiful peonies, ranunculus, dahlia, rose and succulent centerpieces. Barnwood boxes were the perfect compliment to such elegance creating a western glam look for this bridal shower.

While working out the details of the decor, I had the opportunity to get to know Kim & Christina of Cordially Invited Planners.  They did a wonderful job pulling everything together for the event at Rios Lovell Winery in Livermore.  A beautiful chandelier, tulle curtains, a dessert bar and more decorated a gazebo and provided some shade for this bridal shower (held in the hot month of August).  A scenic view of grapevines provided a breathtaking backdrop for guests.

Rustic Event Rentals provided the cowboy boots (pictured below) in which I designed arrangements.  They also supplied other rustic elements like wooden crates!

Alameda Point Antiques Faire

After booking it three months out on the calendar, I finally made it to the Alameda Point Antiques Faire this past weekend! It was quite adventure for me and my friend from Rustic Event Rentals.  We had our eyes peeled for special treasures and  I was definitely entertained by all of the items there.

After hours walking the rows of vendors, frozen to the bone, we hit up an amazing food truck then headed home.  Such a lovely day!  I can't wait to go back when I have some specific items I need to purchase.

Vibrant Fall Wedding Flowers!

 Vibrant fall colors presented through dahlias, coxcomb, amaranthus, mums and more adorned the tables and attendants at Kim & Dave's wedding!  Vows were exchanged in a friend's backyard not far from where Kim grew up.  Kim tackled a number of DIY craft projects and Dave even brewed his own beer for the day they said "I do." With an emphasis on good food, good drinks and even better company a wonderful time was had by all!

The amazing and talented  Michelle Marrone photographed the event and took incredible photos!  Rustic Event Rentals provided chalkboards, soda boxes, mason jars and burlap runners which really tied together the rustic look of the wedding.  I loved working with Michelle and Kelsey (at Rustic)!  I hope this is the first of many events we get to team up together on!
