Amira and Jon {who were married on June 26th} hold a very special place in my heart. I worked closely with both of them during the planning process {although it all was planned in just 4 months!} and really and truly enjoyed the time we spent together. They even made me dinner one night, which I thought was incredibly sweet! They are two people that I hope to cross paths with often in my future! Below is a sneak peek photo of the happy couple with a lot more to follow!

Finally, it’s here! Charity and Frank’s Wedding, which was planned by 2Chic Events & Design and filmed for WeTV’s show, Platinum Weddings will be airing on Sunday, April 18th at 6pm. We are so excited and hope that everyone will take a moment to watch this amazing wedding come to life for TV viewers to see!

Honestly, we’re more than a little excited about the airing of this show! I hope that each and every vendor who worked on this wedding enjoys even greater success than they have already achieved!

Cheers!

This morning I was inspired by a conversation with a good friend about her wedding ~ which led to my searching the web for inspiration as I so often do. I ran across an amazing web site, Vintageous where I found a gold mine of Vintage Wedding Dresses {at an affordable cost!}. I love, love, love the idea of a bride wearing a truly unique vintage dress. This site gives you measurements of the dresses as well as detailed information on the condition, which is great when buying something off the web. These dresses are selling like hot cakes, ladies! If you’re looking for a vintage dress for your wedding, I definitely suggest stalking this site regularly.

I could certainly design an entire wedding around one of these fabulous finds. {Keep your eyes peeled, I just might throw some inspiration boards together!} Check ‘em out! A few of my faves below:

Hung & Eileen enlisted the services of 2Chic back in April of last year, giving us a full 18 months to plan this amazing wedding! I love it when we get an opportunity to dive into the process that early, as it allows us to get to know our clients well enough to truly bring their vision to life! Hung & Eileen have chosen 10.10.10 as their wedding date, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them as our clients for one of the most popular dates of the year. With a vendor list that contains all of the elements necessary to create the true “Dream Team” this one is going to have a WOW Factor that will be hard to beat! The colors? Lavender, Plum, Magenta and Silver. The look? Very contemporary, tons of flowers, dramatic lighting, custom designed pieces and an overall “Whimsy” feel. The details? Off the hook! You’ll have to just wait and see!

A little late, I suppose ~ but WELCOME to the family Hung & Eileen! I’ve enjoyed the past 10 months working with you and look forward to 8 more!

Oh the details!! Jessica was my kind of girl! Between the two of us, we spent countless hours shopping to find all of the perfect little details! I called her from vintage stores, she texted me from other ones. We must have hit every store in the county that had items that would reflect her style. When I went to Jessica’s house the week of the wedding to pick everything up, my car was packed! For a moment, I thought we had gone too far but in the end every item had the perfect use, the perfect look, and the perfect place!

Adding to the charm and beauty of this wedding was Cathy from Visual Impact Design. She did an amazing job of creating all of the flowers and I especially fell in love with the bouquets!  I can honestly say that she truly captured Jessica’s style perfectly! I loved the brooches on the handles, the elegance of Jessica’s bouquet and the fun pops of color in the bridesmaids’ bouquets! Cathy used a mixture of textures, vessels and colors that worked perfectly with Jessica’s “Vintage Chic” theme. Capers Party Rentals made all of the custom linens for Jessica’s wedding, which I was totally impressed with! Take a peek! Photo’s by Stout Photography.

Cindy and Kevin flew in from Arizona one rainy afternoon to meet with me and see what in the world I had been raving about and trying to convey to them over the phone and via emailed photos: A “Southern Lounge” with dark wood wicker furniture, elegant pillows, chandeliers hanging from trees, large jugs of sweet tea and lemonade to be served in mason jars and blues music playing in the background {compliments of a few members of the Misa Malone Project out of San Francisco}. All of this, nestled into the “enchanted forest” area  at the beautiful Avio Vineyards surrounded by rolling hills and grapevines, was enough to make any southern girl melt! The decor was inspired by a front porch photo of a beautiful home in Hilton Head that Cindy had shown me when we first met. She fell in love with the details and the vision was brought to life. After the event, the divine satin pillows that Cindy was gushing over were my gift to her. Photos by Allison Stahl.
