Anders & Jenna

My twin brother and his lovely now WIFE (!!!) tied the knot at San Francisco City Hall last Friday and I excitedly took the pictures and arranged the flowers for the sweet ceremony.  I was freaking out just a little bit since a. I've never shot a wedding and b. I kind of don't know what I'm doing with a camera.  It could not have been a lovelier day, the building is truly stunning and they were so delightfully thrilled to be getting married.  Jenna is the most photogenic bride ever, and Anders was just giddy all day.  It was so fun, and turned out superbly.  Ain't life grand?










(I really tried to pick just a few, I swear!)  To love!

Amaze-balls

Guys and dolls, I have a fun little DIY underbed storage post planned for Monday, but in the mean time please click through and enjoy these not-to-be-missed posts from this week.

Natalie, oh Natalie, I love this video!  You are amaze-balls for finding it!  We threw Rosie in the car for bedtime a few weekends ago and went in search of the Bay Bridge lights (remember how excited I was here?)  They did NOT disappoint!

This post on How to Get the Look - Scandinavian-style Kids Bedroom from Apartment Therapy makes me want to paint my whole house white.  Help!

I die.  Please let someone love me enough to pull this Flower Bomb from Designlovefest off someday!  Or to I would do it for someone else, I would love that.  LOVE.

Love the outfit, love the shoes, love the dreamy desert backdrop.  Love this post Off The Strip by Wish Wish Wish.

Ok, technically not posted this week, but this emerald green sofa from IKEA (it so belongs on last week's Happy For Hue!) literally had me hyperventilating.  Proof:



And on that note, happy happy Friday everyone!

Gift Guide: Mother's Day (May Day Inspired)

Inspired by the flowers of May Day, below are a few floral Mother's Day gift ideas.  All my pretty but affordable picks are $32 and under, enjoy!

1. For the moms out there who love flowers, The Flower Recipe Book ($15.99) - the cover alone is swoonworthy!  "A flower-arranging bible for today's aesthetic."  YES PLEASE! 

2. This floral hedgehog print from ChipmunkCheeks on Etsy is adorable and chic ($20), a mother who loves art and decorating might enjoy this.  Pop it in a little frame ($10), done and done!

3. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the production samples of the Rifle Paper Co. iPhone Cases on Anna Bond's Instagram in January.  I've been dying for the Rifle Paper Co. Botanical Rose iPhone Case ($32) ever since.  Could it be any prettier?  Nope.

4. My mother loves to garden, and I'm pretty sure she'd love these gorgeous Flower 3 pc. Tool Set from PJ Tool Supply ($29).  They remind me of the Liberty of London and Target collaboration a few years ago, do you guys remember those gardening gloves and household items?  I still dream of them, and wonder why I didn't buy more of the amazing items.  Sigh.

5. For the mom who loves to cook, or just loves her kitchen I love this Pink Floral Dishtowel by Etsy seller LisaRuppDesign ($20), the print is an original work by the seller/designer Lisa Rupp.  It is so pretty, and comes in two other designs grey and yellow

6. For the perfect hostess of a mother, these glasses are $2.49 each KROKETT glasses from Ikea.  They come in pink and light green and are even prettier in person, seriously you guys.  A set of 6 would set you back $15, such a good deal!

7. Does your mom sew?  If so, think she would seriously obsess over what to do with a few of these gorgeous Liberty of London fabrics - I know I do!  These are my favorites, starting from the top left going clockwise, Claire-Aude in Pale Yellow ($8.75), Claire-Aude in Red ($8.25), Nancy-Ann in Purple ($8.75), Irma ($9), Tatum in Blue ($8.75).  (all prices listed are for a fat quarter)

8. For the most sentimental of moms, this Mother-Daughter Card by Rifle Paper Co ($4.50) is seriously my favorite.  Ever.  It says "Happy Mother's Day, to the mom who taught me everything."  I would love to get this card from little Rosie Posie someday, with a note about all the things I taught her.  Hopefully she'll leave off "swear like a sailor", but let's be honest - probably not. 

In true May Day fashion, I'm off to pick up and arrange some flowers to drop off at a friend's doorstep.  Hope your day is extra sunny and full of pretty flowers!

Rosie Posey Is 1!

My tiny little Rosebud turned one yesterday, it's so hard to believe a year has passed since this little babe was placed in our arms.  We threw Rosie a party to celebrate the amazing moments we've had this past year, and to thank our dear friends and family for all they've done to support us.

Rosie looks so pretty in greens and blues, I let that be the inspiration for her first birthday party.  Our love for vintage floral fabric and, of course, Rose's name brought about the tiny flower prints on anything I could find.  I'm thrilled with how things turned out, but it wouldn't have come together at all without my dear friends Natalie, Amanda and Sara who helped put up the decorations and even cooked and cleaned at the eleventh hour to help us out.  What would we do without the very best of friends like them?




You can find resources on my mood board here.  The rosettes were made by me several years ago for my wedding using this tutorial, and the garlands on the balloons were made by me and my friend Sara using this picture found on Pinterest.  I arranged the flowers, the mason jar jugs were purchased from World Market a couple years ago (similar here), the large lacy cake stand is Martha Stewart Collection from Macy's, the smaller cake stand is vintage, and the napkins are Marimekko from Crate and Barrel (seriously obsessed.)  Oh, and my dress is from Anthropologie (on sale!)

(all pictures by me, except the top one taken by my dear friend Amanda and the last one by my dear husband Edwin.)
