I like when an element of the event design can be used in a couple of different ways. I love this modern and simple centerpiece made of painted manzanita and faux birdies.
From the super talented Rebecca Thuss are these adorable favors.
These birdie themed sticks are suppose to be plant labels, but how cute would they be as seating cards?
Gotta love any clutch from Red Ruby Rose!
And a wedding cake also by Rebecca Thuss. Its perfect for a fall or winter wedding.

From cake stands, to tissues, to platters, French Bull‘s products are a jolt of color that would be perfect to add to a vintage themed wedding. How freaking cute are the individual tissues?

I love the deep jewel tones of peacock feathers. And used in a subtle way, it could be the perfect element to bring your wedding’s design together.
I love how this hair piece uses the peacock feathers with a tiny cluster of crystals at the base.
For bridesmaid’s dresses you could use aqua and deep blue colors from the peacock feather.
For a clutch, this peacock print bag is perfect.

I love the tradition of a wedding cake, but I also like to mix it up a bit and offer guests a variety of sweets at a wedding.
How can anyone go wrong with ice cream? Tray passed to the dance floor in traditional sugar cones, your guests won’t be able to say no.
To finish a traditional Italian feast, biscotti and espresso would be the perfect ending.
An individual serving of chocolate mousse? Yes, please.
Decadent cheesecake, creamy and delicious.

Our final post for photographer’s week comes from Elizabeth Messina:
weddings are such beautiful rituals…..the celebration of life & love with family and close friends….as a photographer I feel so blessed to be included in many of the most intimate moments at a wedding celebration…..
it is an honor and a tremendous responsibility…..i have learned many things over the years…one of the most important is to remember to breath…to look around and feel the moments as the unfold….there is magic all around you…..laughter….
light coming through the trees….your dress….your new husband looking at you…..flowers on tables…the very ones you spent hours deciding on…. all of these things together, little and big, are celebrating the love you have found with another human being….
even the things that go less than perfectly, become part of your history, your story….embrace all of it….and as your wedding day come to an end….remember it is not an “end” at all but rather the most wonderful beginning….you will take three very important things with you….your husband…your memories…and your photographs of that moment in time….as you are deciding on a photographer to capture your wedding….
its important that you really connect with their work and more importantly with the photographer as a person….the more at ease you feel in the presence of your wedding photographer, the more beautiful your photos will be….your wedding images are in many ways family heirlooms that you will share with your children and your children’s children…..there are so many wonderful photographers, in every price range…so be thoughtful and don’t worry…its a little like finding the right man….you only need one…. wishing you love and happiness….elizabeth
