These flower girl dresses are utterly adorable! And what better way to announce your walk down the aisle then with those signs? Sure to become a keepsake item from your wedding day. We think it could very easily be a fun DIY for you or your wedding party.

We are so excited that {Ceremony Magazine} has come to the Bay Area and we are so glad to be a part of the inaugural San Francisco Bay Area edition. It was an honor to work with such high caliber of talent and special thanks to all the other amazing partners we collaborated with on the editorial photo shoot at {Ambiance Antiques}. We are thrilled with the results, so please do enjoy!
We selected {Ambiance Antiques} for the photo shoot because it is a beautiful venue with a thoughtful collection of marvelous antiques right at your fingertips. They have built a reputation on such beauty with 30 years experience in the business of procuring antiques. Old World meets contemporary in this wonderful setting located next to the San Francisco Design Center.
Gilded fixtures and antique French upholstery inspired us for this shoot. We brought overall design together with fine linens from {Wildflower Linens}, elegant china from {Classic Party Rentals} and soft textures in the florals. Our soft color palette included cream, nude, lavender and rose to complement the golden, gray setting.
We are so grateful to Natalie at {Orange Photography} for capturing all the details so gracefully.
Welcome to the Bay Area {Ceremony Magazine}!
Cheers,
Lydia

We love well-executed DIY projects here at the Soulflower studio. Toss in a sustainable design that incorporates succulents and we are besides ourselves! This succulent pallet table was made with discarded table legs, a couple shipping crates, and a little DIY determination from Megan and Matti of {Far Out Flora}, a groovy blog that documents their adventures in native California vegetation. Not only is this design gorgeous and ecofriendly, it’s portable too!
To learn how to make your own succulent pallet table follow the tutorial on their blog {Far Out Flora}. Be sure to share the finished product with us!
Happy DIYing,

Before we fully immerse ourselves in this wintery wedding weekend we wanted to leave you with an incredible video from the talented Georgina Szabo of {Weddings on Film}. If you are considering whether or not to hire a videographer, here is the perfect example of why you should. The musically inclined couple hired the Church of John Coltrane to officiate and the soundtrack of their wedding is so poignant you might find yourself misty eyed like we did.
To view the video please follow the link {Jette and Nic Wedding Video}.
Happy Weekend,

May your New Year’s night sparkle and shine like Courtney and Ben’s at the Bently Reserve. Deep burgundy, ice white, elegant candlelight and a touch of feathers brought the celebration of love and a new year together. Each place setting had a confetti popper for guests to pull when the clock struck twelve. The perfect way to tie wedding and holiday together! Enjoy these elegant photos captured by {Brion Hopkins}.
