Hair Accessories
Hairpieces and fascinators are being seen on our Sedona brides more than ever. Here are a few I love from whichgoose
Handmade Adornments and Veils from Tessa Kim
I love the beautiful hair adornments by Tessa Kim. You can see them on her 2011 look book or on Style Me Pretty.
Tessa Kim’s line includes birdcage veils, tulle birdcage veils, bridal traditional veils, flower fascinators, feather hair combs, headbands, dress sashes, brooches and much more. All of her accessories are made with the highest quality organic cottons, silks, satins, silk organzas, feathers, pearls, genuine rhinestones and vintage millinery details.
DIY Finds
I am always on the lookout for great wedding extras for my brides, for photo shoots or my own designs. I ran across this great site via Wiley Valentine.
Olive Manna and their wedding site, Wedzu are packed full of great items. You will find newsprint paper sacks, pink glassine bags, burlap favor bags, colored clothespins and wooden tags. “Wedzu is all about weddings. Especially indie, handmade, awesome weddings”
French Macaroons
I love French macaroons. These dainty little cakes in beautiful colors and flavors, yum. Brides that love beautiful food are following this trend to have French macaroons at their event. They can be a substitute for the cake, in addition to the cake, a late night dessert or make a lovely take away gift. I love these from Nicola and Eric at the Macaronner. They make these dainty, delicate; melt in your mouth, French macaroons from scratch. Check out their blog and their etsy store for more delicious ideas.
Van Damme Weddings/Sedona Wedding Studio Featured In Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine
Van Damme Weddings designed shoot of casual elegance in the rustic vineyard setting of DA Lodge is featured in the winter/spring issue of Phoenix Bride and Groom magazine.
The collaboration of talented Sedona Wedding Studio members resulted in this inspirational design that reflects a southwest image not often imagined by brides that live on the east coast or Midwest. In the midst of the rustic country feel is incorporated a sense of casual elegance that might be found in the Italian countryside.
Jim Bullock and Ken Heflin, designers at Events by Showstoppers created the most incredible floral; Carefully placed stems in vintage bottles were on tables and then hung from the enormous cottonwood trees at the ceremony site.
The ever-talented team at Sedona Bride, Katrina Wallace and Andrew Mejia captured images.
This is a shoot that keeps on inspiring. Much more coming up.
Interiors/Stylist Sara Sjogren
I ran across these interiors on one of my favorite blogs. I love these clean bright interior designs by sara sjogren. Makes me want to start re-decorating my own space.
Timeless Beauty
I ran across this here. This dress is timeless in its beauty. A beautiful shot of Jacqueline Bouvier’s wedding dress when she married Senator John F. Kennedy in 1953
Sedona Signature Drink Shoot
Katrina Wallace of Sedona Bride asked me to set the stage for a “signature drink” shoot. I did and she shot this at the beautiful L’Auberge de Sedona resort on Oak Creek. Sedona Bride and Van Damme Weddings love collaborating on these projects. We gain inspiration and love to pass it on to our clients.
Wine Cork Place Card Holders
Stacy of Le’ Gallery Boutique in Scottsdale recently sent me these samples of her work with wine corks. These are great custom handcrafted wine corks made by Stacy in Scottsdale Arizona. They make wonderful place card holders and napkin rings for our Vineyard Weddings in Sedona. Of course they work beautifully for any special occasion or event you may be having. These repurposed wine corks are a good eco-friendly choice for your event. I am looking forward to using them for an outdoor summer event.
