More details from Margaret’s wedding today! The facility at Dallidet Adobe is so lovely, with lush gardens and brick patios. The one difficult piece is a large gazebo on the Avocado Patio made from branches that looks nice in person, but a little “halloween spooky” in photos. In our research, we found photos of weddings…

The photos from Margaret’s August wedding are here! Let’s spend the week recapping all the details that went into my friend lovely San Luis Obispo event. With a theme of olive branches and Spain at the Dallidet Adobe – I really think it was one of the prettiest weddings ever. To start, the invitations! Margaret’s…

The invitations, the shower, the bachelorette party and the flower mart shopping…now we’re just waiting to get the official photos from her wedding to talk all about her pretty day and all the special Pinterest-ready details she put together. Stay tuned for just a couple more weeks!  

My dear friend Margaret is married off! What a wonderful wedding she had in San Luis Obispo last weekend. After a busy week of last minute trips to Britex for ribbon and Amazon orders for all the tiny details we’d forgotten, I headed to the San Francisco Flower Mart early Friday morning. There’s been a wholesale flower…

I’ve thrown dozens of bridal showers, a handful of weddings and even more baby showers but, by chance, had never hosted a bachelorette party until Margaret’s last weekend! I was nervous to put together something really fun, budget-friendly and very San Francisco for the group of fairly non-party-animal types in our mid 30’s. So Saturday night, we headed out…

Let’s take a closer look at the party favors for this elegant evening.…

Wedding season is just heating up here in California, where late summer and early fall weather tends to be nicer than June. And, with it, time to consider buying wedding presents. I think if I had a different job than running my current company, I would be a registry consultant at Gump’s in downtown San…

Margaret’s wedding in August will be here before we know it! As bridesmaids, Jackie and I have been scurrying to host these parties in between our crazy schedules. She just recently returned from a stint in Africa for work and I’m about to head off on our big Spain/Morocco stay. You’d never sense the rush from…

My good friend Margaret is engaged to be married and the happy day is scheduled for this August! It’s another very special wedding I get to help coordinate. The first project? Sending out save-the-date cards now that she had the date, venue and caterer set. Margaret’s talented friend, Romy Natalia Goldberg made the design with…

Today’s What to Wear request comes to us all the way from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Eleanor wrote in to ask: I’m a California transplant living abroad. My fiancé and I live in Ethiopia but are heading to Italy in a few weeks. We are planning on having engagement photos taken in Rome and I’m at a…
